Overview
- The EV2 offers 42.2 kWh and 61.0 kWh batteries with WLTP ranges of about 317 km and 448 km, built on a cost-focused 400‑volt, scaled E‑GMP architecture.
- DC fast charging takes the battery from 10–80% in roughly 29–30 minutes, with 11 kW or 22 kW AC charging and bidirectional V2L/V2G capability.
- The 4,060 mm compact SUV features a triple‑screen interior, 4‑ or 5‑seat configurations with sliding and reclining rear seats, up to 403 litres of boot space, and a 15‑litre frunk.
- Pricing has not been announced; European reports point to an entry near €30,000 and UK coverage suggests under £25,000, both unconfirmed by Kia.
- The Europe‑first model will be built in Žilina, Slovakia, with some reports citing batteries sourced from Hungary, and it targets B‑segment rivals such as Renault 4 E‑Tech and VW ID.2‑based crossovers; no U.S. launch has been announced.
