Kia PV5

Kia PV5

Yes the Kia PV5 is a van with windows, but it's a very good one at that.

Vans with windows usually aren’t much cop, especially the electric ones which tend to have annoyingly short ranges. The Kia PV5 totally bucks that trend and turns out to be one of the best ‘cars’ of the moment. You can seat as many as seven people on board, and everyone gets tonnes of room and terrific comfort. The boot is massive, and the whole car is really well-made. The PV5 is also good to drive and turns amazingly tightly in town. Its range is good too - figure on 350km in real-world conditions.
