Kia’s spacious three-row EV9 got a rugged facelift for SEMA, transforming into a new adventure-themed concept aptly named ADVNTR. Appearing alongside it is the WKNDR concept, based on Kia’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) modular concept that was first revealed at CES earlier this year.

Days after teasing a major reveal at the 2024 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show, Kia has unveiled two

Two concepts take the stage at Kia's booth at SEMA and prompt the possibilities with EVs as they become more common.

Kia unveiled two adventurous concepts at SEMA, the EV9 ADVNTR and the PV5 WKNDR. Both look excellent, but the adventure version of the PV5 van looks like a perfect product for modern America, filling a void never quite covered by more pedestrian commercial vans like the Ford Transit Connect.

The electric three-row SUV gets unique front and rear styling, a three-inch lift, and reinforced rocker panels that improve its off-road capability.

Kia showed up to the 2024 SEMA show with a pair of all-electric, off-road-ready concept vehicles that capitalize on the outdoor adventure craze.

Kia just debuted a ruggedized three-row EV SUV based on a production vehicle and a far-from-production EV adventure van concept at the annual SEMA Show.

Kia gave the PV5 a lift along with off-road tires to create the ultimate family escape vehicle. It has a modular interior that Kia likens to a Swiss Army Knife on wheels. It includes a special “Gear Head” storage system that features an off-board, sheltered storage area for when the vehicle is stationary.

One of the two concepts will look more familiar—the EV9 ADVNTR is based on the popular electric three-row SUV. But the other is the PV5 WKNDR, a rugged off-road camper based on a forthcoming Kia electric van platform.
