Kia announced that prices for the PV5 will start at CAD 46,995 ... in Canada when it goes on sale in Q4 2026. All trims also qualify for the Electric Vehicle Affordability Program, offering up to CAD 5,000 toward the purchase.

...

So far, it’s been a hit. The PV5 is already among Kia’s top-selling EVs in Korea. In Europe, the PV5 accounted for 9% of light commercial electric vehicle (eLCV) sales in the first few months of the year.

This is a utility van. Canada currently has no utility vans aside from those shitty Mercedes Sprinters that rust immediately. No brainer for fleets because the fuel savings are huge.

Ye have no vans? Like ID Buzz, mo Opel/Renault/Nissan? Mad my company has a solid EV fleet, even road MEWPs.

Canada: Subaru Solterra gets a more EV rebate-friendly price in 2027

Subaru Canada is lowering the prices of the Solterra for the 2027 model year, so much so that the compact electric SUV may qualify for Canada’s EV rebate with a final price of no more than $50,000 ... model details are available on the Subaru Canada website.

That seems like it will do fairly well. Subaru has the right demographic for EVs. With rebate, and thinking of TCO, decent price point

man I wish whatever patents or such would expire and more manufacturers could make the flip and fold seats and disapearing roof rack from the grand caravan. Would actually like something like the eagle summit wagon which actually just uses the standard minivan foldaway back and the roof rack thing.

Toyota Sienna has flip and fold seats. The waiting list in Canada is 14 months because people would rather wait over a year than buy the Chrysler option.

wait. we are talking the center seats??? honda and toyota have had the back for awhile. Im pretty sure honda was the one that first did the rear one as I showed it to a friend at a car show who did not think it would be a big deal. Once he saw though. he realized. wow, thats nice.

An affordable vehicle should be under 10k usd.

Itt; slaves to the people above them.

LOL It’s not the 70’s anymore.

Right? Its hard to grasp just how nuts inflation is. $10K in 1970 would be $86K today.

Sure buddy, park it in your $89,000 house.
