Kia revealed the exterior design of the upcoming PV5 electric van, the automaker’s first EV to come out under its “Platform Before Vehicle” (PBV) brand. With the PV5, Kia has declared its intention to compete with heavy hitters like the Volkswagen ID Buzz,

Kia is scheduled to reveal more about the new van on February 24, with interior and powertrain details scheduled to be released three days later.
