Kia PV5 Cargo achieves full marks in 2025 Euro NCAP tests
10 Dec 2025|43 views
Kia has announced that its PV5 Cargo van has achieved a five-star rating in the 2025 Euro NCAP Commercial Van Safety assessment, reportedly delivering a consistently strong performance across all major evaluation areas, including occupant protection, safety assist and crash avoidance, and post-crash safety.
The Euro NCAP tests highlighted the strong performance of the PV5's standard Autonomous Emergency Braking with Forward Collision Warning, which helps to detect pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. Both these advanced safety technologies demonstrated strong responsiveness in vehicle-to-vehicle scenarios (even at higher speeds), avoided collisions in most pedestrian and cyclist test cases, and provides additional protection of pedestrians behind the vehicle.
In addition, the Lane Support System impressed with its gentle steering corrections and more assertive interventions in critical situations to prevent unintended road departure, while the Speed Assistance System enabled appropriate speed management by using digital maps and a forward-facing camera to identify local speed limits and present clear information to the driver. A standard seatbelt reminder for both front seats also further enhanced safety compliance.
This result positions the PV5 Cargo among Europe's safest commercial vans and continues Kia's track record of top-tier Euro NCAP results following the EV6 (2022), EV9 (2023), and EV3 (2025).
