[Home of Cars New Car Launch] Recently, at the 2026 IAA Transportation Hanover, Kia's new PV7 made its official debut. The new vehicle is built on an 800V high-voltage platform, enabling 10% to 80% fast charging in 25 minutes. It will first go on sale in South Korea and Europe in the second half of 2027, and Kia will later launch the PV9 model.

In terms of exterior design, the new PV7 adopts the brand's family design language. The front end features split LED headlights with a dynamic and streamlined profile, and a triangular window is added to the A-pillar. The front bumper is made of a large number of plastic components that can be replaced individually. As commercial vehicles are prone to scratches, this design can reduce maintenance costs and working hours. The PV7 has a body length of 5,350mm and a wheelbase of 3,500mm. Long-wheelbase and high-roof versions will be launched later to further improve cargo capacity.
