Kia PV5 Bed & Storage Systems
We're building removable bed and storage systems for the Kia PV5: a kombi-style bed for the PV5 Passenger, and a drawer system with rear and side access for the PV5 Cargo. The approach is the same one we've used on the VW Transporter for years: nothing cut, nothing drilled, and out in minutes when you need the space back.
The first units are due before Christmas 2026.
PV5 Passenger: a bed that folds over the seats
The PV5 Passenger system will work the way our VW Transporter kombi beds do. Fold the second-row seats and the platform makes a flat, full-length bed over them, with storage underneath. Put the seats back up and it's a five-seater again, with the system out of the way behind them.
That makes the PV5 Passenger a proper day van: a family car in the week, a van you can sleep in at the weekend, with room for bikes, boards or the dog's bed. Kia quotes 1,320 litres of luggage space behind the second row, and 2,315 litres with it folded.
PV5 Cargo: drawers from the back and the side
For the PV5 Cargo we're planning a storage system closer to our DualDeck, with drawers that open from the rear doors and from the side. The PV5 Cargo comes with split rear doors and a nearside sliding door, so you can reach your kit from either end of the van without climbing in.
Kia quotes between 4.0 and 5.1 cubic metres of load space, depending on length and roof height. We'll confirm which versions the system fits at launch.
Why we're building for the PV5
The PV5 is Kia's first electric van, designed from the start as an EV, with a seven-year/100,000-mile warranty. A lot of our customers are moving to electric, and they want the same thing they had in their Transporter: one van that works all week and goes away at the weekend, without a permanent conversion.
Built the way we build the Switch
The plan is the same materials and the same approach as our Transporter systems: 18mm phenolic-coated birch ply, stainless hardware, fitted to the van's own mounting points, and made to order in our workshop in Clevedon with a two-year warranty.

Questions people ask
When can I order a PV5 system?
We're aiming to launch before Christmas 2026. Register above and we'll email you the day orders open.
Which PV5 versions will it fit?
The PV5 Passenger (kombi-style bed) and the PV5 Cargo (rear and side drawer system). If you have a PV5 Crew or Chassis Cab, get in touch and tell us what you need.
Will it fit the seven-seat PV5 Passenger?
We'll confirm compatibility with the seven-seat version closer to launch. Register and tell us which one you have.
Will I need to drill or cut the van?
No. Like all our systems, the PV5 units are being designed to fit the van's existing mounting points and come out without leaving a mark, which matters on a lease or when you sell.
How much will it cost?
Prices will be confirmed at launch. Registered customers will hear first.
Can I see one before I buy?
We'll share photos and video as the prototypes come together. Once they're ready, ask us about seeing one at our workshop in Clevedon, near Bristol.
