check offers Kia unveiled the EV2 at the Brussels Motor Show 2026 and brought the compact electric crossover into production. The Kia EV2 is the sixth and smallest model in the South Korean brand's portfolio of battery electric vehicles based on the E-GMP architecture. It comes with two battery pack options, three trim lines and design cues borrowed from the larger Kia EV.
The overall silhouette of the EV2 bears some similarities with the ICE-powered Sciros on our shores, while sporting an updated version of the tiger face design seen on Kia's latest models. It brings split LED headlamps, which stand vertically, and a straight front end with thick cladding.
The cladding extends around the car and is seen extending to the taillamps, which are mounted as low as possible without encroaching on the rear bumper. This makes way for a clean tailgate design, featuring a thin rear windscreen with an upward-facing roof spoiler.
What's included in the Kia EV2's interior and tech suite?
The cabin of the EV2 is largely inspired by the Syros, offering a similar overall layout and the same two-spoke steering wheel. The dashboard is equipped with a triple-panel display, consisting of a 12.3-inch cluster, 5.3-inch HVAC panel and 12.3-inch infotainment. Features include a Harman Kardon audio system, Digital Key 2.0, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging functionality.
Kia is also offering the EV2 in a four-seater configuration, which includes two sliding and reclining seats in the second row. This helps free up more boot space, up to 403 liters in these variants. The regular five-seater models offer a 362-litre boot, while both boast a 15-litre frunk.

What is the battery and range of Kia EV2?
The EV2 will be offered with two battery pack options. The 42.2 kWh battery is an LFP unit allowing a single-charge range of 317 km (WLTP). Kia will offer a long range variant equipped with a 61.0 kWh NMC unit, providing a range of up to 448 km (WLTP). Both battery packs can be recharged from 10-80 percent in less than 30 minutes using a DC fast charger.
Production of the Kia EV2 in standard Range guise is expected to begin in Q1 2026, while the Long Range and GT-Line variants are due to arrive in late June. The official launch date has not been announced, and Kia has not yet confirmed whether it will enter the Indian market or not. Despite the fine print, the EV2 will be positioned as the most affordable EV from the company, expected to list below the €36,000-mark (~) 37.80 lakh).
