Kia’s electric car lineup is only getting bigger… with its smallest EV yet.
The Kia EV2 is going to be fully unveiled at the Brussels Motor Show in January 2026. It’ll be Kia’s smallest – and presumably cheapest – electric car, sitting beneath the EV3 small SUV, the EV4 hatchback, the Sportage-sized EV5, the coupe-styled EV6 and the EV9 luxury seven-seater.
Although we don’t know UK prices just yet, we’d expect the EV2 to start from under £30,000. That’s broadly in line with a top-spec Kia Stonic, and a bit cheaper than the £33,005 EV3.
If it does start from under £30,000, it’ll be priced in line with key rivals such as the Ford Puma Gen-E, Renault 4 and Peugeot e-2008.
From these teaser images, it seems the production model will look almost identical to the EV2 Concept (also pictured).
The EV2 has been designed and developed specifically for Europe, and Kia says it’ll be produced in Europe as well.
Kia promises ‘smart EV features’, which is likely to mean that high-spec versions are available with connected navigation and Vehicle-to-Load functionality – letting you charge small electricals from the car’s battery via an adaptor.
Given that the EV2 will sit on the same platform as the EV3, it’s expected that the EV3’s 58kWh battery will be available on the EV2. This would be the long-range version of the EV2, as it would achieve close to 300 miles between charges.
With the EV2’s European focus in mind, it seems logical that Kia will offer a smaller-battery version aimed at commuters – like it has done on the Kia Soul. We’d expect a range of around 200 miles for the entry-level version.
Kia isn’t only taking the EV2 to the Brussels Motor Show: it’s also introducing hotted-up GT versions of the EV3, EV4 and EV5. These will almost certainly be dual-motor performance models with serious performance.
