The all-new EV2 is Kia’s sixth electric car based on the E-GMP platform. It is also the smallest EV of the brand, as it measures 4,060 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 2,565 mm in height.
The EV2 takes its design inspiration from the bigger Kia electric cars like the EV9. It gets the signature ‘tiger face’ design that has the unique vertical split LED headlights, chiselled body panels, a boxy shape for improved cabin space, body cladding all around, and dual-tone alloy wheels ranging from 16- to 18-inch for the regular variants and 19-inch for the GT-Line variant.
On the inside, the EV2 has a roomy cabin space to accommodate four adults with ease. Its interior styling is similar to the Kia Syros, as it comes loaded with a similar dashboard that has the connected screen display, a two-spoke steering wheel, dual-tone leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lights, Harman Kardon sound system, OTA updates, wireless connectivity, electric seats with ventilation, and ADAS safety features.

Powering the EV2 are two battery options: a 42.2 kWh pack with 317 km of range and a 61 kWh pack with up to 488 km of WLTP-claimed range. The standard variants get a 147 bhp electric motor setup, while the long-range variants will get a 136 bhp electric motor setup. It is based on a 400V architecture, which enables DC charging support. Kia is yet to reveal the charging timing of the EV2.
