Westdrive Kia Braintree

Westdrive Kia Braintree Now Offers the Fully Electric Kia PV5 for Hire

  • Kia Rental service now expanded to include the fully electric PV5 Cargo and PV5 Passenger
  • The addition brings Kia’s next-generation PBV line-up to businesses and families, offering flexible short- and long-term access
  • Businesses and families can ‘try before they buy’ — using real-world rental to appraise capability, charging, range and operational fit

Westdrive Kia Braintree has expanded its Kia Rental service with the addition of the Kia PV5 Cargo and PV5 Passenger, enabling customers to hire Kia’s next-generation Purpose Built Vehicle (PBV) for short or long-term use.

The addition of the Kia PV5 strengthens the growing vehicle line-up available to businesses and families from Westdrive Kia Braintree, providing flexible access to a wide variety of cars — and now vans. The vehicles are available to rent now. Contact us on 01376 344000 for current day rates and availability for both the PV5 Cargo and PV5 Passenger.

“The Kia PV5 is a genuinely new kind of vehicle — and the best way to understand it is to drive it. Our rental service gives businesses and families the chance to do exactly that, without any commitment.”

A New Era of Rental Versatility

The PV5 Cargo and PV5 Passenger bring Kia’s PBV philosophy to the rental market, offering spacious interiors, intelligent packaging and zero tailpipe emissions — ideal for customers who need their capabilities without the need for, or before making, a long-term commitment.

Try Before You Buy

For customers considering adding the PV5 to their business fleet — or families exploring the benefits of a modern electric MPV — the Kia Rental service at Westdrive Kia Braintree now offers the opportunity to experience the vehicle in real-world conditions before making a purchase decision. Rental periods range from as little as one day, up to one month.

This ‘appraise through rental’ approach gives customers hands-on experience and insight into how the Kia PV5 fits into day-to-day life, without any pressure or long-term commitment. Customers can assess charging patterns and real-world range, evaluate suitability for specific job or operational needs, and gather feedback from drivers and teams — building the evidence base for an informed ownership decision.

With more organisations seeking flexible mobility solutions, the ability to hire a fully electric PV5 helps reduce emissions, lower running costs and support sustainability goals without requiring immediate fleet investment.

PV5 Cargo

The fully electric PV5 Cargo is the ideal solution for a variety of tasks, thanks to its wide, square load bay and low floor height. It’s the perfect companion for small business deliveries and last-mile logistics, tradespeople needing temporary capacity for tools and equipment, or local event support, pop-ups and mobile business operations. For individuals, the PV5 Cargo is an excellent companion for house moves, furniture transport and DIY projects.

PV5 Passenger

The PV5 Passenger is a comfortable five-seat MPV, built for moving people and belongings with ease. With its 1,330-litre boot capacity, it easily accommodates families and their luggage for trips, staycations and airport transfers. It’s also ideal for community groups, clubs and charities assisting with vehicle logistics — or for corporate travel and hospitality, including shuttle services for events.

Flexible, Accessible and Nationwide

Kia Rental operates through select Kia dealerships including Westdrive Kia Braintree, offering customers a seamless modern booking experience with transparent pricing and the reassurance of manufacturer-maintained vehicles.
