- Kia PV5 Cargo earns the highest five-star ranking within the 2025 Euro NCAP Industrial Van Security evaluation
- Sturdy efficiency throughout key classes, together with Occupant Safety, Security Help/Crash Avoidance and Submit-Crash Security
- Commonplace ADAS applied sciences — together with AEB, Lane Help System and Pace Help System — ship excessive efficiency in demanding real-world take a look at situations
- Newest recognition follows a sequence of world accolades, together with 2026 Worldwide Van of the 12 months (IVOTY) and 2026 High Gear Awards
Kia at present introduced that the Kia PV5 Cargo has achieved the highest potential five-star ranking within the 2025 Euro NCAP Industrial Van Security evaluation, reaffirming the mannequin’s management in delivering secure and sensible electrical mobility for industrial prospects throughout Europe.
Euro NCAP reported that the PV5 Cargo delivered a constantly robust efficiency throughout all main analysis areas, incomes:
- 75% for Occupant Safety (occupant monitoring, driver engagement and automobile help)
- 80% for Security Help & Crash Avoidance (frontal collisions, lane departure collisions and low velocity collisions)
- 80% for Submit-Crash Security (rescue data, post-crash intervention and automobile extrication)
This consequence positions the PV5 Cargo amongst Europe’s most secure industrial vans and continues Kia’s monitor file of top-tier Euro NCAP outcomes following the EV6 (2022), EV9 (2023), and EV3 (2025).
“The PV5 opens a brand new chapter in sensible, electrified mobility, providing beneficiant house and modular versatility for on a regular basis use. Reaching the highest Euro NCAP five-star ranking is obvious validation of its security efficiency and can function robust momentum as Kia expands its PBV lineup throughout Europe.” – Sangdae Kim, Govt Vice President and Head of PBV Enterprise Division
Superior security applied sciences as customary throughout Europe
Euro NCAP highlighted the robust efficiency of the PV5’s customary Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with Ahead Collision Warning (FCW), which detects pedestrians, cyclists, and different autos.
- Demonstrated robust responsiveness in vehicle-to-vehicle situations, even at increased speeds
- Averted collisions in most pedestrian and bike owner take a look at circumstances
- Supplies further safety for pedestrians behind the automobile
The Lane Help System (LSS) was praised for its light steering corrections and extra assertive interventions in crucial conditions to stop unintended highway departure. Euro NCAP famous that general LSS efficiency was “good.”
The Pace Help System (SAS) makes use of digital maps and a forward-facing digital camera to establish native velocity limits and current clear data to the driving force, enabling acceptable velocity administration.

The PV5’s five-star achievement displays Kia’s superior electrified platform engineering, high-rigidity physique construction and safety-optimized packaging ideas utilized throughout the PBV lineup. Mixed with its complete suite of ADAS applied sciences, the PV5 delivers security efficiency that leads the industrial EV section.
Rising world recognition for the Kia PV5
The Euro NCAP consequence provides to the PV5’s quickly increasing record of worldwide accolades. In November, the PV5 Cargo was named ‘2026 Worldwide Van of the 12 months (IVOTY)’ on the Solutrans industrial automobile present in Lyon, France. Shortly afterward, the PV5 Passenger was awarded ‘Household Automotive of the 12 months’ on the 2026 BBC TopGear.com Awards within the UK.
These recognitions underline the PV5’s world competitiveness in security, versatility and customer-focused worth throughout each industrial and passenger purposes.
