The Kia PV5 “WKNDR” is an all-electric van designed to redefine versatility. Its modular interior is like a Swiss Army knife on wheels, with endless customization options to suit a variety of activities. When parked, the innovative “Gear Head” feature transforms into off-board storage, maximizing interior space for passengers. To tackle rugged terrains, this van comes equipped with a lift kit and all-terrain tires. Additionally, it incorporates solar panels and hydro turbine wheels, delivering a unique energy solution by recharging its batteries while on the move.
On the other hand, the EV9 “ADVNTR” Concept brings a rugged spin to the already popular Kia EV9 electric sport utility vehicle. Enhanced for off-road exploration, this vehicle boasts a three-inch lift, custom protective panels, and reinforced front and rear bumpers.
