Kia has introduced a new flagship Elite grade to its PV5 Passenger line-up, adding a higher level of comfort, convenience and technology to the all-electric people mover.
The new trim joins the existing Essential and Plus grades and is available on both the five-seat and newly launched seven-seat versions of the PV5 Passenger.
Positioned at the top of the range, Elite builds on the already well-equipped Plus specification with a suite of premium features aimed at private buyers, executive transport operators and professional passenger-carrying services.
Among the most significant additions are electric sliding side doors with power latches, making access easier for passengers in busy urban environments and at airport drop-off points. Ventilated front seats are also included, alongside two-tone full PU upholstery designed to elevate cabin ambience.

The Elite grade further enhances visibility and manoeuvrability with the addition of a Surround View Monitor and Blind Spot View Monitor. These systems are complemented by side-mounted parking sensors, helping drivers navigate tight spaces and crowded urban areas.
The introduction of Elite comes as part of a broader MY27 update programme for the PV5 Passenger range. Across all grades, Kia has introduced a new compact roof antenna, Walk Away Lock functionality and a height-adjustable driver armrest to improve everyday usability.
The Elite specification builds on the Plus model, which already includes heated front and outer rear seats, a heated steering wheel, wireless smartphone charging, a power tailgate, electric seat adjustment and Vehicle-to-Load functionality.Rapid charging capability of up to 150kW enables a 10-80% recharge in less than 30 minutes.
