Kia is expanding its camper van lineup with two models: a compact 2026 gasoline camper and the electric PV5 van.

The model sleeps two adults and features a mini-kitchen with a sink and refrigerator. The estimated price starts at $20,000. Compact dimensions and car-like handling make it accessible for beginners. Low fuel consumption and reduced maintenance costs are expected compared to full-size RVs.

Electric PV5 Van

Kia also unveiled the electric PV5 van, designed as a camper base. It offers two battery options: 51.5 kWh and 71.2 kWh, providing up to 256 miles of range. The company collaborates with specialized firms to develop conversion kits for living spaces.
