What Car? has named the Kia PV5 Cargo its Van of the Year for 2026, citing the EV's real-world range, driver comfort and aftersales support as setting it apart from the pack.
The PV5, which the title also named the best small electric van and, in Passenger form, the best van-based MPV, is the first in a new line of commercial vehicles from Kia.
“The new Kia PV5 combines the payload capabilities businesses will expect with the sort of ease of use and long-distance comfort they might not,” said What Car? editor Steve Huntingford. “Plus, it’s backed up by one of the most comprehensive aftercare packages around, providing long-term reassurance for operators. And yet, despite all of this, it's very well priced.”
The Volkswagen Transport took the best medium and best medium electric van awards, while best large van went to the Renault Master.
Meanwhile, the best-selling Ford Ranger took the best pick-up truck gong and the Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial won best car-derived van.
