- The fact that the designed a wheelchair accessible version from the start is awesome. This looks like a great low cost option. Yes it has a small battery and plastic everywhere, but the price matches. Everyone complains about cars being too expensive these days but then complain when cars aren’t fully loaded with giant battery packs… you can’t have both!

- I love the style of it and really hope it catches on for a reasonable price here in the UK for a camping setup, I loved the ID Buzz but the price point for them is outrageous.

- I think the PV5 will make it to the US market, since there is a lot of interest in an EV van but not with the high price of the VW ID.Buzz.

- Such a tight, clean, modern/futuristic design (without going overboard). You can tell they're getting the design language right when you can tell it's a Kia, without even seeing the badge. Loving these designs. The Kia EV3 is one of the best looking EVs to be released imo..

- Yes, this is the future I want. VW ID Buzz, hit it on the mark for looks, but missed on range and price. I've had enough of the 3 row SUV, with the long and over-sized hood. I've owned the escalade, yukon, yukon XL. Please get me some advanced interior and more functional van with sliding doors.
