Kia EV2 (2027)

Kia EV2

Kia Corporation unveiled the EV2 at the 2026 Brussels Motor Show, marking the global premiere of a compact electric SUV designed to make electric mobility more emotional, intuitive and accessible.

Revealed under the theme "The Power of Firsts", the Kia EV2 introduces Kia's vision for a new entry point to electric mobility - compact in size, yet delivering a space-rich, emotionally engaging experience designed around everyday urban life.

"With the Kia EV2, we are expanding the reach of Kia's electric mobility to customers who want a compact car that still feels spacious, capable and emotionally rewarding. EV2 reflects our commitment to practical innovation - bringing advanced EV technology, thoughtful design and everyday usability into a model created for the way people live and move in cities around the world." - Ho Sung Song, President and CEO of Kia.

Alongside the EV2, Kia also revealed the EV2 GT Line and introduced the latest electric GT models - EV3 GT, EV4 Hatchback GT and EV5 GT - underscoring the brand's commitment to both accessible electrification and engaging performance.

Kia EV2: A New Emotional Gateway to Electric Mobility

The Kia EV2 plays a strategic role within Kia's expanding electric vehicle (EV) portfolio. As the most compact electric SUV in the lineup, it is designed as a gateway model for first-time EV drivers and new Kia buyers, while remaining versatile enough to serve as a primary household vehicle - easy to live with, yet emotionally rewarding.

Kia's new compact SUV delivers an experience beyond its class thanks to:

• A calm, welcoming cabin atmosphere
• Class-above interior space and flexibility
• Easy, confidence-inspiring urban driving dynamics

Confident SUV Identity, Refined for the City

Developed under Kia's Opposites United design philosophy, the EV2 combines a compact footprint with confident proportions and a clear SUV identity. Its upright stance, strong shoulder line and pronounced wheel arches give it a solid road presence, while vertical lighting elements and Kia's latest Star Map signature create a distinctive modern face.

Clean, solid front volumes communicate clarity and advanced EV technology, with robust lower graphics emphasizing all-round capability for city living or spontaneous escapes.

From the side, the spacious cabin profile and technical shoulder lines create a straight, confident silhouette, supported by geometric wheel arches, a sharply defined DLO and solid fender design that convey durability and refinement.

At the rear, tail lamps positioned at the outer edges emphasize width, while sculpted surfaces and technical corner forms deliver a memorable signature.

The Kia EV2 GT-Line further enhances this character with a more expressive, lifestyle-focused interpretation. Model-exclusive front and rear bumpers, body-colored garnishes, side-sill details and dedicated wheels amplify the EV2's confident stance while delivering a subtly more premium and adventurous look - ideal for customers who want a vehicle that reflects active urban living and weekend exploration.

Interior, The "Picnic Box"

Despite being the most compact EV in Kia's line-up, the EV2 delivers one of its most expressive interiors, defined by the idea of a "Picnic Box" - a cozy personal space that offers a moment of calm within the rhythm of city life, supported by a solid, durable foundation.

A wraparound crash pad seamlessly integrates the panoramic wide display - combining a 12.3-inch cluster, 5-inch climate panel, and 12.3-inch infotainment screen - while horizontal design elements enhance visual width and openness. Fabric-rich materials boost tactile comfort and add warmth.
