"Mystery" arrived
YEYYY! - We picket up "Mystery" today.
By Brian Lyscarz
The wait is over. Meet Mystery. đ
Today was a big day.
After months of planning, sketching ideas, contacting partners and imagining what this project could become, we finally picked up the Kia PV5 that will soon transform into Project OPV5.
The name? That wasnât our decision.
Our 5-year-old son, Ziggy, looked at it for a few seconds and simply said:
âHer name is Mystery.â
Apparently itâs inspired by a K-pop character (which seems fitting for a Korean van!), and honestly⌠we think the name suits it perfectly.
We also couldnât be happier with the color. We considered several options, but kept coming back to this grey. It has that timeless look that we think weâll still love years from nowâespecially once the overland build begins.
Right now itâs just a brand-new Kia PV5.
Over the coming months it will become something very different.
đď¸ Overland build
đĽ Real-world adventures
âď¸ Accessories, testing & reviews
đ Family expeditions across Scandinavia

The first thing weâll do?
Put some miles on Mystery.
Before we start changing everything, we want to experience the PV5 exactly as Kia built it. Weâll be sharing our honest first impressions, what we love, what weâd improve, and what makes this platform so exciting for adventure travel.
This is just the beginning.
Follow alongâthe real transformation starts now.
Explore Without Limits.
