With the new EV2, Kia promises a spaciousness worthy of the upper segment and up to 453 km of autonomy, starting at €19,970.
Kia officially launches the EV2 in France, its new 100% electric compact SUV aimed at urban drivers and advocates of zero-emission mobility. Positioned as Kia’s entry-level electric model, the EV2 combines compactness, autonomy, and advanced technologies to stand out in the highly competitive B-SUV segment in Europe.
Available from today starting at €26,670, €19,970 after CEE grants, the EV2 is offered in two battery versions: 42.2 kWh for 317 km of autonomy and 61 kWh for 453 km according to the WLTP cycle. This latter autonomy places the EV2 at the top of electric vehicles under 4.20 m, offering a rare compromise between compact size and extended travel capabilities. The SUV is produced in Europe, at Kia’s factory in Žilina (Slovakia), powered 100% by renewable energy and certified ISO 14001 for its environmental efforts.
The new Kia style
In terms of design, the EV2 adopts Kia’s “Opposites United” philosophy, with a bold silhouette, an “EV Tiger Face” grille, and “Star Map” signature lights. The interior stands out for its space and modularity, benefiting from a flat floor thanks to the E-GMP platform. Rear passengers enjoy remarkable legroom for a B-SUV, and the trunk offers 362 liters, complemented by a front trunk of 15 liters for cables and accessories.
The onboard technology rivals that of higher segments. The EV2 features a triple panoramic screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, OTA updates, an AI assistant, and a comprehensive suite of driver aids, including autonomous braking, traffic jam assistance, and remote parking. Charging is designed to be fast and flexible: DC 10-80% in 30 minutes, AC charging up to 22 kW available as an option, and V2L/V2G capabilities to power external devices or feed energy back into the grid.
