Overview
- Kia unveiled the EV2 at the Brussels Motor Show as a small electric crossover positioned below the EV3 in the brand’s dedicated EV lineup.
- Production is slated to begin imminently at Kia’s Žilina plant in Slovakia, with Standard Range models built first and Long Range variants due mid‑year.
- Two battery options are offered with claimed WLTP ranges of about 317 km (42.2 kWh) and up to 448 km (61.0 kWh), and both support 10–80% DC fast charging in roughly 30 minutes plus 11 kW or 22 kW AC charging.
- The EV2 uses a scaled E‑GMP platform with a 400‑volt system, front‑wheel drive only, and a torsion‑beam rear suspension, ruling out all‑wheel drive.
- Cabin features include dual 12.3‑inch displays and a 5.3‑inch climate screen, four‑ or five‑seat layouts, Level 2 driver assistance, and vehicle‑to‑load and vehicle‑to‑grid capability, while European pricing and broader market rollout remain unconfirmed with Australia flagged as uncertain after now‑deleted leaked prices.
