Overview
- The EV2 is offered with two battery chemistries: an LFP short/standard pack that manages about 195 miles WLTP and an NMC Long Range pack rated up to about 275 miles, with both supporting up to 118 kW DC charging.
- Kia sells the model in four trims — Air, First Edition, GT-Line and GT-Line S — with list prices starting at £27,995 and Long Range trims reducing to £24,245 after the £3,750 grant.
- Kia UK has said it will prioritise Long Range cars that get the full £3,750 grant while the smaller‑battery First Edition is in limited supply and qualifies only for a £1,500 discount.
- Reviewers praise the EV2’s city and motorway refinement, strong range for the price and roomy, modern interior, but they note body roll and a tendency to hop on uneven country roads that makes it less engaging than some rivals.
- Practical ownership highlights include a 362‑litre boot with a removable double‑height floor, a mid/top‑spec 15‑litre frunk, recycled interior materials and Kia’s seven‑year/100,000‑mile warranty, a package that strengthens its value against small‑EV competitors.
