Feature Showdown
Both come with modern infotainment systems. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The LDV eDeliver 5 stands out with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto — features our data doesn't list for the Kia PV5. The Kia PV5 counters with Apple CarPlay and V2L. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Drivetrain
The LDV eDeliver 5 runs a pure electric powertrain producing 120kW and 240Nm of torque, sent through its transmission to a FWD layout.
The Kia PV5 responds with a Electric Motor making 120kW and 250Nm, paired to a automatic driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 12.5 seconds.
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: 64kWh (LDV eDeliver 5) vs 71.2kWh (Kia PV5), giving WLTP ranges of 335km and 400km. DC fast charging peaks at 70kW (LDV eDeliver 5) vs 128kW (Kia PV5).
Space & Comfort
The LDV eDeliver 5 measures 4,800mm long on a 3,100mm wheelbase, 105mm longer than the Kia PV5 at 4,695mm (2,995mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the LDV eDeliver 5 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 6600L in the LDV eDeliver 5 and 1500L in the Kia PV5, giving the LDV eDeliver 5 a 5100L advantage. The LDV eDeliver 5 seats 3 vs 2.
For towing, the LDV eDeliver 5 leads with a 1,500kg braked capacity vs 750kg. That 750kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
