Kia PV7 Commercial/MPV
Discussion
Haven't seen it in 'Commercial Break' or 'Hyundai/Kia', so in EVs it goes:
Kia PV7 Unveiled:

As expected, it's styled like the PV5 and sized for the next segment up, so going against the Transit and Transporter. 800V architecture, 280 mile range, twin motor version to follow later.
Comfortably beats the Transit-E and e-Transporter on specs, and has the Kia 7-year/100000 mile warranty - should do well in the commercial, campervan and wheelchair-accessible markets, not sure how much of a demand there'll be for the MPV version in the UK, as we seem to like our SUVs too much despite lack of practicality.

I'd have one but probably too big for daily drive for me, will cost a lot more than the PV5 and efficiency will take a dive bomb. I just wish the seat rail system was in the PV5.
I'm waiting for the PV5 Crew to appear in the UK or at least a video of the sliding bulkhead + seats mechanism to see how much space you get with it flattened. Although as its a commercial, might not be a good ownership proposition. The tailgate and higher floor of the passenger wouldn't work for what I want.
Looking forward to the PV7 though, prices specs and such.
