Kia’s Futuristic PV5 at Joe Duffy Kia North Road.

The future of mobility arrives in Ireland, the highly anticipated Kia PV5, a next-generation electric vehicle designed to be more than just transport.

Joe Duffy Kia North Road is delighted to announce that it has now been appointed as a Kia Commercial Dealer, further strengthening its offering to Irish motorists and businesses alike.

This means North Road customers will have access not only to Kia’s award-winning passenger car range, but also to a dedicated line-up of Kia commercial and PBV models with the PV5 leading the charge.

The PV5 is Kia’s first entry into what it calls the “Purpose-Built Vehicle” (PBV) market, a new category of adaptable, electric-first models capable of serving a wide range of roles, from family car to delivery van and even shared mobility shuttle.

Unveiled earlier this year, the PV5 is built on a modular EV platform that allows the vehicle to be configured for different uses while retaining Kia’s sharp design language and advanced technology. The result is a model that can adapt to both everyday personal driving and professional business needs.

The commercial-focused design includes:

• Fully electric drivetrain – delivering zero-emission performance, reduced running costs, and compliance with Ireland’s sustainability targets.
• Flexible body configurations – adaptable for delivery, logistics, shuttle services, or specialist fleet use.
• Connected technology – optimising fleet management, route planning, and real-time monitoring.
