The black wheel arch claddings and rocker panels give it a rugged, off-road-inspired appearance, visually connecting the van to Kia's SUV family. Other elements include bold signature lighting and sleek black accents on the headlights, chamfered D-pillar, and single lift-up tailgate.
The PV5 Cargo has the modern, geometric appearance of the passenger vehicle, but its profile is boxier, resulting in greater space efficiency. It sports two side-opening tailgate doors for easier loading and unloading.
