A Kia PV5 minivan was displayed at the 2026 New York Auto Show as a wheelchair-accessible New York City taxi concept in partnership with BraunAbility.
The battery-powered PV5 uses a single front-drive motor and is offered in Korea with either a 164-horsepower/51.5 kWh pack or a 192-horsepower/71.2 kWh pack rated at 250 miles WLTP (roughly 200 miles EPA equivalent). It uses a commercial E-GMP 400-volt architecture and Kia says the PV5 can fast-charge from 10–80 percent in about 30 minutes.
Kia presented the taxi as a "production ready concept" intended for real-world testing and displayed it so the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission and local livery companies could evaluate the vehicle. The PV5 is currently sold in South Korea and Europe, and Kia says it plans to bring the model to Canada.
