During an exclusive event, Kia showcased the EV2 concept and revealed a few new details we can expect to see.<\/p>\n<p>Kia designed the EV2\u2019s interior to be a relaxing retreat from the city\u2019s hustle and bustle, sort of like a porch or balcony. Thanks to its flat floor layout, the SUV offers flexible seating. By folding the second-row seats and pushing the front seats forward, the EV2 offers an open space to stretch out or \u201cenjoy a meal,\u201d according to Kia.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Although no other details were offered, like Kia\u2019s newer EVs, you can expect to see its new ccNC panoramic infotainment system with dual 12.3\u2033 driver and navigation screens.<\/p>\n<p>After the EV2 was spotted driving on public roads, we are getting a better look at Kia\u2019s upcoming electric SUV. The video from <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/T_w53dBGjX0\">ShortsCar<\/a><\/em> reveals a front-end design similar to that of the EV3, EV5, and EV9, featuring its signature vertical daytime running lights (DRLs) and Star Map lightning.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe id=\"post-youtube-video-1\" title=\"[\uc20f\uce74] \uae30\uc544 \uc3d8\uc6b8\uc758 \ud6c4\uc18d\uae09 \uc804\uae30\ucc28\uac00 \ub098\uc628\ub2e4!! \uac70\uae30\ub2e4 \ucfe0\ud398\ud615 \ubaa8\ub378\uae4c\uc9c0 \uac1c\ubc1c\uc911?! \uc0c8\ub86d\uac8c \uc120\ubcf4\uc77c \uae30\uc544\uc758 \uc18c\ud615 \uc804\uae30 SUV!! \uae30\uc544 EV2 \uc2e4\ubb3c \uc8fc\ud589\ubaa8\uc2b5 \ud3ec\ucc29!! #kia #ev2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T_w53dBGjX0?feature=oembed&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe>\n<\/p><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kia EV2 driving on public roads (Source: ShortsCar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite its small size, the EV2 has a surprisingly large presence on the road, thanks to its upright stance and broad wheel arches, reminiscent of the larger EV9.<\/p>\n<p>A production version of the EV2 was also spotted in Germany this week, with its European debut just around the corner. The images by SH Proshots (via <em><a href=\"https:\/\/thekoreancarblog.com\/production-ready-kia-ev2-spied-in-germany\/\">TheKoreanCarBlog<\/a><\/em>) show a similar design to the model caught driving in Korea.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DKNYtrGAFUA\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" readability=\"-0.27272727272727\"\/>\n<p>Kia will launch the EV2 in Europe and other regions in early 2026. Prices and final specs will be revealed closer to then, but the EV2 is expected to arrive with a WLTP range of around 300 miles (483 km). Smaller battery options could offer less range at a lower price.<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s slated to sit below <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/guides\/kia-ev3\/\">the EV3<\/a>, which is 4,300 mm (169\u2033) long, the EV2 is expected to be closer to 4,000 mm (157\u2033) in length.<\/p>\n<p>Like Kia\u2019s other electric vehicles, it will be based on Hyundai\u2019s E-GMP platform, which also underpins its IONIQ series.<\/p>\n<p>Kia\u2019s CEO, Ho-Sung Song, told <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-news\/new-cars\/first-pictures-%C2%A325000-kia-ev2-city-car\">Autocar<\/a> <\/em>that the company plans to launch the EV2 in the UK with prices starting at about \u00a325,000 ($32,000). Since that was a few years ago, plans could have changed. We will learn more soon.
