Korean design studio Lotux Grey Studio unveiled a camper van concept based on the Kia PV7, featuring an extended cargo area and NCM batteries of 71.5 and 96.2 kWh.

On September 14, a video was published on the YouTube channel "Poongja TV" showing the delivery of a custom camper van based on the Kia PV5. TV personality Poongja, who recently lost 33 kg, waited about six months for the vehicle: nearly five months in the queue due to high demand and just over two weeks for the interior conversion. Such campers are priced between 40 and 50 million won. The interior features a flat floor, storage drawers, a table, a mosquito net, a microwave, a fridge-freezer, and a touch-sensitive sink; the electric vehicle allows all appliances to run, provides heating in winter and cooling in summer. An automatic awning with remote control is installed outside.

Kia has revealed the production version of its electric PV7 van at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany. The model will launch in South Korea and Europe in mid-2027. The PV7 Long measures 535 cm long, 66 cm longer than the PV5, and 190 cm wide. It will offer a 96-kWh battery with over 460 km of WLTP range or a base 71.5-kWh pack. Sussex Campervans has already announced plans for a PV7-based camper.
