  • Not a privilege, but a given.

    "I wish the car adapted to me, not the other way round."

    That's where the PV5 WAV started. We looked closely at the barriers people with reduced mobility face—because moving in comfort shouldn't be a favour. It should be a given. So we made a promise to keep everyone moving.

  • From the pavement, straight in.

    "Having to step down into the road just to get in always worried me."

    That's why the PV5 WAV opens from the side. Our engineers tested the ramp with wheelchairs again and again, reworking it into two stages—easing the gradient down to a gentle 13°.

  • Together, every mile.

    "Sometimes I felt like I was sitting apart from the people I was travelling with."

    Inside, a 60:40 tip-up seat folds up to make room for a wheelchair, with space for a companion right alongside. Because no one should have to travel alone.

  • Not the finish line, but the start.

    "I hope many more people get to experience this kind of freedom."

    And that's exactly where we're headed. The PV5 WAV is only the beginning—reaching beyond wheelchair users to others who face barriers of their own, until mobility for all is simply part of everyday life.

  • ​

    Seamless access. Directly from the pavement.

    A built-in side ramp slides out smoothly, allowing wheelchair passengers to board safely and effortlessly, without ever stepping onto the road.

  • ​

    Firmly secured. Perfectly safe.

    An international-standard wheelchair restraint system locks the wheelchair frame firmly in place, ensuring a stable, worry-free journey at every turn.

  • ​

    Close by. All the way.

    Versatile 60:40 tip-up seats fold away effortlessly to make room for a wheelchair, while keeping a 3rd-row seat for a companion or caregiver—staying close to look after the passenger throughout the ride.

FAQ

Find quick answers to common questions about the Kia PV5 WAV

How much wheelchair space does the PV5 WAV offer?

Built on the dedicated PBV platform E-GMP.S, the PV5 WAV offers a cabin designed around wheelchair access. The 60:40 tip-up 3rd-row seat cushions fold up to free up space for the wheelchair, while the neighbouring seat remains available for a companion—so a wheelchair user and carer can travel together. A flat floor continues from the ramp, giving the wheelchair user room to move inside and turn to face forward once on board. The wheelchair space measures 1,398 mm in height, 1,180 mm in length and 1,340 mm in width.

What are the key features of the PV5 WAV?

A side sliding door with a wide 775 mm opening makes boarding easier. Inside, a 7.5″ cluster and 12.9″ infotainment (IVI) display, a digital key and advanced driver assistance keep everything within reach, while OTA updates and smartphone integration keep you connected. V2L power runs devices both inside and outside the vehicle, for a more convenient, smarter journey.

How is the wheelchair ramp used?

The manual ramp is stowed beneath the side sliding door and folds out to two lengths depending on where you board. From a kerb, use the 1-stage setting (1,250 mm, approx. 11°); from the ground, extend it to the 2-stage setting (1,750 mm, approx. 13°). Before boarding, always open both side guards fully and check that the ramp is securely in place, taking care that the user's head and wheelchair do not catch on the door surround.

How are the wheelchair and passenger kept safe while driving?

The PV5 WAV secures the wheelchair and the passenger independently, using dedicated fittings in the floor and overhead. An international-standard wheelchair restraint system holds the wheelchair frame firmly to minimise movement while driving, while a dedicated restraint belt and 3-point seatbelt keep the passenger securely seated. When not in use, the restraint belt tucks neatly into a tray beneath the rear seat, keeping the cabin tidy.

Can the seats be used normally when no wheelchair is on board?

Yes. The 3rd-row seats can be unfolded or tipped up as needed, so you can switch between wheelchair space and regular seating whenever you like. With a wheelchair on board, the dedicated space keeps things comfortable; for everyday trips, unfold the seats to carry up to 5 passengers. From family outings to journeys with a wheelchair user, the PV5 WAV adapts to a wide range of needs.
