Is your commercial vehicle truly optimised to handle the messy reality of day-to-day trade work?

The workshop team has just put the finishing touches on a bespoke upgrade for a customer's brand-new, all-electric Kia PV5 Cargo van. The award-winning PV5 already boasts a completely flat floor and straight walls right out of the factory, making it the ultimate blank canvas for custom trade conversions.

To meet this specific client's demanding operational needs, our specialists installed a highly functional interior overhaul:
-> Custom False Floor: Engineered to create hidden, secure under-floor storage for expensive power tools and long materials, keeping them out of sight and maximizing the main load area.
-> Premium Dry Lining: Heavy-duty, precision-fitted wall paneling designed to protect the van's structural bodywork from loose equipment shifts while in transit.
-> Easy-Wipe Surface Finish: A specialized, moisture-resistant coating that allows the owner to effortlessly wipe away mud, grease, and chemical spills in seconds, maintaining a spotless mobile workspace.

It is the perfect example of how the versatile, zero-emission PV5 can be tailored into a highly efficient, professional mobile workshop.

Would you trust your electric car to perform flawlessly at minus 31 degrees Celsius?

The all-new Kia EV4 just proved it can handle the most brutal winter conditions on the planet. In the coldest edition of the famous El Prix Winter Test Drive organized by the Norwegian Automotive Federation, the EV4 Long Range model conquered historic, freezing temperatures to deliver a masterclass in reliability.

The vehicle traveled from Oslo to the scenic highlands, conquering city traffic, highways, and treacherous mountain roads while proving its Gen4 battery technology is truly mature.

Here is how the European-built EV4 dominated the test:
-> Exceptional Real-World Range: Equipped with an 81.4kWh battery, the EV4 achieved 390 kilometers (242 miles) in extreme cold, making it the best in its segment and price range.
-> Retaining Power: It achieved over 65% of its official WLTP rated figure despite temperatures plummeting between minus 20°C and minus 31°C.
-> Flat Charging Curve: It completed a 10-to-80% charge in just 33 minutes, which is only two minutes above its official optimal figure, despite the freezing climate.
-> European Breeding: Developed at the technical center in Germany and built in Slovakia, the chassis was perfectly tuned to handle slippery, demanding road surfaces.

If it can deliver this level of performance in historic Arctic conditions, you can be entirely confident it will handle the Great British winter with ease.

Did you know that true luxury is about what is left out, rather than what is added in?

Step inside the cabin of the all-new Kia EV4 'Air' and you will immediately notice the Scandinavian-inspired minimalist design. Kia has completely reimagined the interior layout to create a spacious, calming lounge-like environment that makes every journey a pleasure.

Despite being the entry-grade model, the 'Air' specification comes packed with premium equipment as standard:
-> Dual Panoramic Screens: A combined seamless display housing your digital instrument cluster and a highly responsive infotainment system.
-> Sustainable Materials: Premium cloth upholstery crafted from recycled plastics and bio-based materials, proving that luxury can be eco-friendly.
-> Smart Storage: A completely flat floor architecture thanks to the dedicated E-GMP electric platform, maximizing legroom and storage solutions.
-> Intelligent Climate Control: Dual-zone automatic air conditioning to keep both driver and passenger perfectly comfortable.

It is proof that choosing the entry-level model no longer means compromising on technology or comfort.

What if your dream electric car just became £3,750 cheaper overnight?

Huge news has just dropped from Kia UK. The stunning all-new Kia EV4 has officially become the first Kia eligible for the maximum Band 1 Government Electric Car Grant (ECG). This slashes a massive £3,750 off the on-the-road price for the 'Air' and the newly introduced high-spec 'Motion' grades.

This means you can now drive away in the EV4 'Air' Standard Range from just £30,995 on-the-road.

What you need to know about the new EV4 lineup:
- Massive Savings: The grant is available for both retail and fleet customers.
- The Brand-New 'Motion' Grade: Sitting beautifully between GT-Line and GT-Line S, it packs a premium 8-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, surround-view monitors, and a huge 81.4kWh battery.
- More Choice Than Ever: Kia now offers four incredible models eligible for Government grant support, which includes the EV2, EV3, EV4, and PV5 Passenger.

Add in Kia's generous Q2 offers, featuring 3.9% APR finance with no minimum customer deposit on fully electric models, and there has truly never been a better time to go electric.
