Kia PV5 review – GAME OVER for the Buzz!?

The VW ID Buzz costs more than £60,000. This new Kia PV5 costs from £31k. So, is it game over for the iconic retro van, or is Kia's rival too good to be true? In this review, we find out if the PV5 electric car is the bargain of the year or if the cost-cutting has gone too far.

We test the new Kia PV5 Passenger in the real world to see if it beats the VW ID Buzz in the important areas, and reveal how it stacks up against big-selling electric family SUVs, including the Tesla Model Y. We also explain why the split windscreen pillars might drive you crazy and why you might want to wait for the 7-seater arriving later in 2026.
