Kia EV2 Concept Is Kia's Next Small EV
The Kia EV2 Concept debuted during the Kia EV Day event in Tarragona, Spain.
The EV2 Concept debuted alongside the production version of the EV4.
Kia says that the EV2 is scheduled to go on sale in Europe and other regions in 2026.
Kia's EV Day is finally here, and it brought another of the company's EV concepts to the forefront. The Kia EV2 is set to be the B-segment entry point into the brand's battery-electric offerings.
While this is a concept, Kia hasn't commented on the EV2's powertrain or battery pack. This compact Kia will probably ride on the company's e-GMP platform. Despite not pushing any details about the powertrain to the public, Kia did say that the EV2 will feature vehicle-to-load charging, which could be another sign that this upcoming EV will ride on the company's modular platform.
Even though there isn't a lot about the EV2's powertrain, Kia did show off some creative packaging solutions for this small concept. This EV concept sports reverse-opening rear doors to help rear passengers more easily hop into the rear of the cabin.
That rear seat can also fold upward to make more space for taller individuals to push the sliding front bench seat back as far as possible to make space for long legs. This concept also features pop-up luggage dividers and removable door speakers, like the Toyota Tacoma's center dash speaker.
If you're wondering if Kia is going to build the EV2, that's an easy one: Yes. The company plans to launch this compact BEV crossover in Europe and other markets in 2026. It's hard to say if other markets are a reference to the United States, but only time will tell.
Do you think that that Kia should bring the production version of the EV2 to the U.S.? Tell us your thoughts below.
