Two electric Vans go head to head. Which EV is the better buy for Australian drivers in 2026?
Specifications and pricing correct at time of publishing. Prices are RRP before on-road costs unless stated otherwise. Always confirm with the manufacturer or dealer before purchasing.
Kia PV5: we're still completing seat count, turning circle and energy consumption.
LDV eDeliver 5: not on sale yet, so LDV hasn't published price, 0-100km/h, transmission and energy consumption.
Blank cells below mean we don't have that figure, not that the car scores badly on it. We leave them empty rather than estimate, so any row where one car is blank isn't a like-for-like comparison yet.

Feature Showdown
Both come with modern infotainment systems. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Kia PV5 stands out with Apple CarPlay and V2L that you will not find on the LDV eDeliver 5. The LDV eDeliver 5 counters with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Drivetrain
The Kia PV5 uses a Electric Motor producing 120kW and 250Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a FWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 12.5 seconds.
The LDV eDeliver 5 counters with its electric setup making 120kW and 240Nm, paired to its gearbox driving the front wheels.
Power output is identical on paper, so the difference comes down to tuning, weight distribution, and suspension. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Battery: 71.2kWh (Kia PV5) vs 64kWh (LDV eDeliver 5), giving WLTP ranges of 400km and 301km. DC fast charging peaks at 128kW (Kia PV5) vs 70kW (LDV eDeliver 5).
Space & Comfort
The Kia PV5 measures 4,695mm long on a 2,995mm wheelbase, 555mm shorter than the LDV eDeliver 5 at 5,250mm (3,450mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the LDV eDeliver 5 generally means more rear legroom.
For towing, the LDV eDeliver 5 leads with a 1,500kg braked capacity vs 750kg. That 750kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
