Kia unveils EV2 compact electric SUV at Brussels

Kia has unveiled the EV2 at the 2026 Brussels Motor Show, introducing its sixth dedicated electric model as a compact B-segment SUV designed to serve as an entry point to the automaker’s electric vehicle (EV) lineup. The model offers two battery options—42.2 kWh with 317 km estimated WLTP range and 61.0 kWh with 448 km range—with DC fast charging enabling 10-80% in approximately 30 minutes.

Production of the standard-range EV2 will begin in the first quarter of 2026, with long-range and GT Line variants following throughout the year. The 4,060 mm-long SUV features V2L and V2G bidirectional charging capability, Remote Smart Parking Assist and a 12.3-inch infotainment display.

In a statement, Ho Sung Song, President and Chief Executive, said: “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.”

Kia also revealed the EV3 GT, EV4 Hatchback GT and EV5 GT at Brussels, each featuring dual-motor all-wheel drive and GT-specific chassis tuning. Production of the GT models is scheduled for the second half of 2026.
