About the Kia EV2 42.2 kWh

The Kia EV2 42.2 kWh (MY27) brings Kia’s growing electric vehicle expertise to the compact SUV segment, combining modern EV technology, everyday practicality, and efficient zero-emission driving in an accessible and family-friendly package. Designed to meet the needs of urban drivers and small families alike, it delivers a smart balance of range, technology, and versatility without unnecessary complexity.

Power comes from a front-mounted electric motor producing 100 kW, delivering smooth and efficient performance through a front-wheel-drive layout. Instant electric response makes the EV2 easy to drive in urban environments, while providing enough performance for motorway journeys and everyday commuting. The emphasis is firmly on efficiency, refinement, and ease of use, making it an ideal introduction to electric motoring.

At the heart of the vehicle is a 40 kWh usable battery pack, offering a practical balance between affordability, efficiency, and daily usability. With an official WLTP driving range of up to 190 miles, the EV2 is well suited to commuting, school runs, shopping trips, and weekend outings. Real-world range will vary depending on driving conditions, weather, route profile, and vehicle specification.

Charging capability is designed to support modern lifestyles. The EV2 supports CCS DC rapid charging at up to 100 kW, enabling convenient charging stops when using compatible public charging infrastructure. Combined with home and workplace charging options, this helps ensure the vehicle remains practical for both everyday use and longer journeys.

Inside, the EV2 features a contemporary cabin designed around comfort, connectivity, and flexibility. Modern infotainment technology, advanced driver-assistance systems, and intuitive controls create a connected driving experience, while flexible passenger accommodation helps maximise interior space. The vehicle also offers approximately 400 litres of luggage capacity, giving it the versatility expected from a compact SUV despite its city-friendly dimensions.

The EV2’s compact footprint makes it easy to manoeuvre and park in busy urban environments, while its elevated driving position and practical interior provide the confidence and usability many SUV buyers seek. By combining efficiency, practicality, and modern technology, it positions itself as an attractive choice for drivers looking to make the switch to electric motoring.
