Overview
- The B‑segment EV debuts with two battery options—42.2 kWh and 61.0 kWh—offering WLTP ranges of about 317 km and 448 km.
- A scaled E‑GMP 400V architecture enables 10–80% DC fast charging in roughly 29–30 minutes, plus 11 kW and 22 kW AC charging and bidirectional V2L/V2G capability.
- At 4,060 mm long, the EV2 prioritizes interior usability with a triple‑screen layout, choice of 4‑ or 5‑seat configurations, sliding and reclining rear seats, a boot up to 403 liters, and a 15‑liter frunk.
- European production is set for Kia’s Žilina plant in Slovakia, with batteries sourced from Hungary, positioning the model squarely for the region’s high‑volume city‑car market.
- Kia has not released pricing, with reports estimating around €30,000 and under £25,000 in the UK, and the company has not announced U.S. availability.
