Kia PBV Passenger Review: the Electric ‘Lego Car’ that Could Change Everything

Kia launched its modular PBV passenger EV with prices starting at around £33,000, positioning the vehicle as a new chapter in personal transport with bold, functionally-led design.
The vehicle utilizes an all-electric E-GMP platform likened to a Lego car, with a flat skateboard base allowing any body or cabin to bolt on top while delivering secure road manners.
Offering 183 or 256 miles of range, the PBV provides a compelling alternative to the VW ID. Buzz, which essentially costs double the amount at comparable specifications.
Limited to "only" 150kW at this stage, charging speed is not overly impressive, though sufficient for overnight commercial fleet charging but potentially inconvenient for families.
Future iterations are expected to expand the PBV's utility with seven-seater layouts arriving soon, positioning the platform to spawn new generations of leisure and commercial vehicles.
