Kia EV2 Specs, Range, Battery, Dimensions & Features

The EV2 was first introduced as a concept car on 27 February 2025, alongside the EV4 and PV5.

It is positioned as a battery electric subcompact car, also known in European classification as a “supermini car”, that slots under the EV3. It is similar in size to the Hyundai Inster. The concept model features suicide doors. The Star Map front lighting from the EV9 is also present on the concept. Inside, there is a panoramic glass roof, colour-coordinated headrest speakers, and a metal-accented dashboard housing a wide touchscreen.

A year later, on 9 January 2026, Kia unveiled the production version of the EV2 at the 2026 Brussels Motor Show, and it stays true to the concept model.

The EV2 is the successor to the Soul EV, also known in Europe as the e-Soul, which was produced from 2014 to 2024, and it fills the gap in the line-up as Kia’s electric subcompact vehicle.

The production-spec EV2 bears a strong resemblance to the concept car, carrying over most design elements, including the dual headlights and low taillights. It features some inspiration from the Soul, such as its boxcar shape, size, crossover-like styling, and a similar front-wheel-drive layout.

The interior is offered with two seating arrangements — a five-seat version, or a four-seat version featuring sliding rear seats. A triple-screen infotainment setup is used, featuring dual 12.3-inch driver and central displays and a 5.3-inch climate control display in between.

The EV2 is based on the E-GMP 400V architecture, with two battery choices available: 42.2 kWh and 61 kWh units that provide up to 197 and 278 miles of WLTP range, respectively. It can charge from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes and supports home AC 11kW or 22kW slow charging.
