Kia is preparing to launch a new electric vehicle, the EV2 compact hatchback. The first photos of the prototype model have already appeared online, allowing us to evaluate the appearance of the future novelty.

The Kia EV2 is expected to be an affordable option for those looking for a compact electric vehicle. According to preliminary data, the model will cost about 25,000 pounds, Autocar writes.

Design and base

The exterior of the Kia EV2 is made in the brand's corporate style. The car has a square silhouette, similar to the Kia Soul model, with LED headlights made in the style of the larger EV9 crossover.

Technically, the Kia EV2 will be based on the E-GMP, which also underpins the company's flagship EVs - EV3, EV6 and EV9. This means that the model can get both a single- and two-engine powertrain. However, given the focus on the urban driving cycle, the most likely option is the one with a single electric motor.

Specifications

Detailed specifications of the Kia EV2 have not yet been disclosed. It is only known that the model will be affordable, so you should not expect extraordinary characteristics.

Production and sales

Production of the Kia EV2 is scheduled to begin in 2025 at the company's plant in Slovakia. Sales of the model in the European market will start in 2026.

Future plans

Kia's management states that the production of affordable electric vehicles is one of the company's priorities. The company plans to expand its range of electric vehicles to meet the needs of different market segments.

Competitors

In the European market, Kia EV2 will compete with models such as Renault 5, Vauxhall Corsa Electric and Mini Cooper Electric.
