Kia is expanding its lineup with new electric offerings covering a wider spectrum of segments. The latest to join the party is the Kia EV2, a small electric SUV which is set to debut in 2026 focused on European markets. The EV2 was introduced in concept form during the 2025 Kia EV Day in Barcelona, giving us a great idea of what to expect from the upcoming production version.

The Concept EV2 shows “the brand’s vision for a future B-segment all-electric SUV”. The zero-emission equivalent of the Stonic will be smallest member of Kia’s EV lineup, at least until the debut of the Picanto-sized Kia EV1 at some point in the future.

The compact footprint of the Kia EV2 that is smaller than the EV3 means it will target the lower end of the segment, which will target the compete with the likes of the Jeep Avenger and the Mini Aceman. The exterior of the concept is characterized by cheeky proportions and modern styling cues such as quad headlights, rugged plastic cladding, toned fenders, and the low-mounted taillights.
The production EV2 is expected to look very similar to the concept, albeit with a few toned-down features. Judging from earlier Kia offerings we expect the final design to have thicker pillars, larger mirrors, and flush door handles.
The concept has a futuristic four-seater cabin with a focus on practicality. The suicide rear doors, the lack of central pillars, and the flat floor provide easy access. By folding the rear seats and sliding the front bench backwards, occupants can relax, stretch their legs, or sit on the floor when the vehicle is parked.
Other cool features include the triangular portable speakers on the doors, the wireless charger on the lower portion of the dashboard, the pop-up luggage dividers, and the message lighting on the side windows for communicating with other road users. Naturally, some of these elements won’t make it to production, with the suicide doors and the window lighting being the prime candidates to be ditched in the road-going version.

While Kia didn’t announce the technical specifications of the EV2, the production model will most likely ride on a shorter version of the E-GMP architecture. The SUV is expected to be available with a single electric motor and a smaller battery pack compared to the slightly larger EV3, allowing it to be more affordable.

Kia President and CEO, Ho Sung Song, promised that the EV2 will offer technology and practicality “beyond its size”, adding it will support their goal of “making electric vehicles truly accessible for everyone.”
The EV2 is expected to be priced from around €30,000 ($31,400) in Europe when it arrives in 2026. Kia said it will also go on sale in “other regions” without getting into specifics. Still, don’t expect to see the EV2 in North America, unlike the EV3 and EV4 which are expected to be available Stateside.
