    • The Kia PV5 Cargo
      With world record-breaking electric range.

    • Reaching a new milestone in electric mobility

      With a record-breaking 693.38 km drive, the Kia PV5 Cargo has been awarded an electrifying achievement: the greatest distance travelled by a light-duty battery-powered electric van with maximum payload on a single charge.

  • The Kia PV5 Cargo pushes the boundaries of long-range movement

    Every milestone is a testament to what innovation can truly accomplish.

     

    We’re proud to announce the Kia PV5 Cargo, part of our pioneering Platform Beyond Vehicle line-up, has earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title. A feat of endurance, precision, and purpose.

  • Engineered for real everyday challenges

    The 22-hour and 30-minute journey took place under real-world conditions on public roads, carefully designed to replicate the daily realities of delivery and logistics operations.

     

    A fully-loaded Kia PV5 tackled a 58-kilometre loop twelve times, facing traffic lights, roundabouts, and even a 370-metre elevation gain on each round.

    • “…almost two full working days on a single charge speaks volumes about its real-world capability.”

  • Where the Kia PV5 Cargo’s innovation faced the ultimate endurance test

    The drive was continuously recorded using GPS tracking and in-cabin cameras. Before departure, the Kia PV5 Cargo’s battery was charged to 100% and both the charging port and cargo compartment were sealed until the end of this extraordinary journey. One which went further than anyone thought possible.

    • “In the end, it was the vehicle itself that impressed us…”

  • Designed to carry more.
    And go further.

    Built on Kia’s E-GMP.S (Electric-Global Modular Platform for Service) architecture, the Kia PV5 Cargo combines the strength and flexibility required for modern electric logistics.

     

    Engineers have optimised the vehicle so that an extra 100 kg of payload reduces range by only around 1.5 percent, showcasing the practical intelligence that lies at the heart of our Platform Beyond Vehicle philosophy.

  • Empowering businesses to reach new limits

    For many operators, the distance achieved by the Kia PV5 Cargo demonstrates how Kia’s PBV line-up can empower businesses to move smarter, cleaner, 
and further.

     

    In practical terms, the achieved range of 693.38 kilometres on a single charge equals nearly two full working days of operation for typical delivery and logistics use cases, highlighting the vehicle’s efficiency in real-world conditions.

    • “The Kia PV5 Cargo combines efficiency, flexibility and intelligent connectivity in one package.”

  • A record today.
    A milestone for tomorrow.

    With this GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title, Kia underscores its ongoing commitment to developing innovative, efficient, and practical solutions for the future 
of mobility.

    • “…a demanding but unforgettable journey…”
