Kia PV5 Lease Deals
Compare live Kia PV5 lease deals below from an independent, whole of market broker. We place every lease across major funders including Lex Autolease, Novuna, ALD and Santander, so the prices you see are the sharpest we can source. The PV5 is Kia's first purpose built electric commercial vehicle, offered as the PV5 Cargo van or the PV5 Passenger MPV, with a choice of 51.5kWh and 71.2kWh batteries and Kia's seven year warranty. Take one on personal or business contract hire, or browse the wider van leasing range.
Why Lease the Kia PV5?
The Kia PV5 is Kia's first purpose built electric commercial vehicle and the first model in its Platform Beyond Vehicle range. Rather than converting an existing van, Kia designed a dedicated platform with the battery under the floor, which is why the PV5 has a flat load area and more usable interior space than its exterior footprint suggests.
It comes in two forms. PV5 Cargo is the van, with up to 4.4 cubic metres of load volume in L2/H1 form. PV5 Passenger is the MPV, built around seats and windows rather than pallets. Crew and Chassis Cab derivatives extend the range for businesses that need them.
Both carry Kia's seven year, 100,000 mile warranty, which covers the whole of a typical lease with years to spare. If you are comparing electric Kias, look at the Kia EV9 or the family sized Kia Sportage.
Kia PV5 Range, Payload and Running Costs
Both body styles share two underfloor batteries. The 51.5kWh Standard Range covers up to 179 miles in the Passenger and up to 184 miles in the Cargo, and carries the higher payload of the two at up to 790kg. The 71.2kWh Long Range extends that to up to 249 and 258 miles respectively, but payload drops to up to 690kg, so the extra range costs you around 100kg of carrying capacity. The Cargo offers up to 4.4 cubic metres of load volume in L2/H1 form, with a flat floor throughout because the battery sits beneath it rather than intruding into the load bay.
Charged at a depot or at home, an electric van costs considerably less per mile than a diesel, with no oil or exhaust to service. The honest caveat is that a boxy body pushes a lot of air, so real world range on a cold motorway run with a full load will fall well short of the official figures. That is true of every electric van, but it means the PV5 suits predictable, route based work returning to the same place each night far better than long unpredictable journeys relying on public rapid charging.
Kia PV5 Trim Levels
PV5 Essential
The entry grade, and a well equipped one. Essential is offered with either battery, so you can have the Long Range without stepping up a trim.
PV5 Plus
The higher grade, adding equipment and interior upgrades over Essential. On the Passenger it is paired with the Long Range battery.
Our recommendation
Essential with the Long Range battery. It puts your money into range rather than trim, and range is what decides whether an electric van works on your routes. Choose Standard Range only if you regularly load close to your weight limit.
Leasing the Kia PV5
Leasing suits an electric van particularly well. Used values for electric commercial vehicles are still settling, and on a lease the finance company carries the risk on what the vehicle is worth at the end rather than your business. For a company replacing vehicles on a cycle, that removes the hardest number to forecast.
PV5 Cargo variants are eligible for the government Plug-in Van Grant, which is reflected in the pricing you see rather than something you claim yourself. On business contract hire rentals are quoted excluding VAT, and vans are treated differently from cars for tax. Rules change each tax year, so confirm the position with your accountant.
Choose your mileage allowance honestly, because a working van tends to cover more miles than expected and excess mileage is charged per mile at a rate set out in the agreement. You can compare the wider van lease range or all electric lease deals alongside it.

Kia PV5 Leasing FAQs
The Kia PV5 is Kia's first purpose built electric commercial vehicle, offered as the PV5 Cargo van and the PV5 Passenger MPV, with Crew and Chassis Cab derivatives alongside them. It was designed as an electric vehicle from the start rather than converted from a diesel van, with the battery under the floor, which is why it has a flat load area and more usable space inside than its dimensions suggest.
Up to 249 miles in the PV5 Passenger and up to 258 miles in the PV5 Cargo with the 71.2kWh Long Range battery, or up to 179 and 184 miles respectively with the 51.5kWh Standard Range battery. Those are official figures, and a boxy van pushes a lot of air, so expect real world range to fall short on cold motorway runs, particularly when loaded.
Up to 790kg with the Standard Range battery and up to 690kg with the Long Range battery, because the larger battery weighs more and that weight comes out of what you can carry. Load volume is up to 4.4 cubic metres in L2/H1 form, with a flat floor throughout because the battery sits under it. If you regularly load close to your weight limit, the Standard Range is the more capable van despite going less far.
Yes. The PV5 Cargo is the van, built around load space and payload, while the PV5 Passenger is the MPV, built around seats and windows. They are taxed, insured and specified differently, so choose on what the vehicle is genuinely for rather than on price.
Kia's seven year, 100,000 mile warranty, the same as the rest of the Kia range and among the longest offered in the UK. On a typical two to four year lease that covers the entire agreement with years to spare. PV5 Cargo variants are also eligible for the government Plug-in Van Grant, which is applied at the point of sale and reflected in the pricing you see rather than claimed back afterwards.
Yes, on business contract hire as well as personal leasing, with business rentals quoted excluding VAT. Vans are treated differently from cars for tax and the rules change each tax year, so confirm the detail with your accountant rather than working from a general answer.
