confirming Figures we are still putting in writing with Kia Canada or measuring on van #1. We publish estimates as estimates rather than rounding them into facts. Sources: Kia Canada MY2027 PV5 Cargo launch materials, Kia accessory documentation, and our own fit-out engineering. Anything marked confirming or not published is exactly what it says — we would rather print the gap than invent the number. The two large vans are specified separately, in data/fleet.ts.
