How we test cars

If you wind the clock back a couple of decades, the term "SUV" conjured up images of massive, mud-plugging behemoths – 4x4s designed to cross rivers and tow horseboxes, not nip to the local shops. But today “SUV” is really just a marketing term slapped onto cars often no bigger than a small hatchback, rather like the Kia EV2.

This is a fully electric car that’s exactly the same length as the Vauxhall Corsa Electric and not even quite as tall as a Citroën ë-C3. But with its chunky wheel arch extensions and squared-off edges, the Kia EV2 definitely has a more imposing stance than many cars that take up similar space on the road.

Kia EV2 video review

So, the modern definition of an SUV encapsulates everything from the car you’re reading about here right up to a full-sized Range Rover. But clearly there isn’t going to be much cross-shopping between those two models, so what exactly are the EV2’s rivals?

Well, closest in concept are probably models like the Jeep Avenger Electric, Peugeot e-2008 and Renault 4. However, Kia is very aware potential EV2 customers might also be considering arguably the trendiest small electric car on sale right now, the Renault 5.

Verdict

Kia’s smallest electric car is a fine all-rounder. Its big selling points include a competitive range for a sensible price, because our recommended Long Range version qualifies for the full £3750 government EV grant. But it also has a great driving position, decent practicality for its size, it's easy to drive, and comfortable enough if you stick to the entry-level Air trim. Pricier trims aren't such good value for money and come with bigger wheels that nobble the ride.

Performance & drive

What it's like to drive, and how quiet it is

Strengths

• Relatively quiet at speed
• Good range by class standards
• Easy to drive in town

Weaknesses

• Ride is mostly fine but can get unsettled
• Steering could be sharper
• Acceleration isn't brisk

How fast is it and which motor is best?

For the time being there are two versions of the Kia EV2. The cheaper Standard Range has a 145bhp electric motor driving its front wheels. Acceleration isn’t exactly eye-widening, but it feels fairly nippy in urban environments and Kia states it'll do 0-62mph in 8.7sec. The Standard Range will be short-lived, though. Kia intends to drop it and sell only the Long Range version.

Long Range

The Long Range has a much bigger battery, hence the name, but that adds weight. And, weirdly, the Long Range has a slightly less powerful electric motor (133bhp), which is why it's up to a second slower from 0-62mph.

In practice, the Long Range's performance is okay for pottering about at sensible speeds, but it feels notably tepid when you need to build speed hurriedly for an overtake. The Renault 4 is zippier.

Is it agile and is the ride comfortable?

As with its bigger brother, the Kia EV3, Kia has chosen to focus on the EV2's ride comfort rather than aiming for sporty handling. That aim was largely achieved with the lighter, Standard Range model, which smothers ridges and small potholes effectively.

The heavier Long Range versions remain supple over big speed bumps but fidget more on scrappy urban surfaces. And when you're travelling faster they tend to thump more over sharp ridges and jagged potholes. If you stick to Air trim – which comes with smaller 16in wheels and plumper tyres that provide a bit more cushioning – the ride's still good enough most of the time. The higher trims with 19in wheels are more abrupt.

advertisment

scroll for more

All versions can get a bouncy over a series of sizeable dips and crests, and if the lumps and bumps are asymmetric – troubling the wheels on one side rather than both sides at the same time – you'll find yourself being swayed gently left and right in your seat.

Encountering bumps midway through a corner can also unsettle the EV2, and it leans more than the Renault 4 in bends, whereas the Leapmotor B05 stays flatter through corners to provide tidier handling. The steering is light in town and, essentially, accurate and responsive enough that you can place the car easily on country roads. The steering doesn't build weight naturally, though, so it's tricky to gauge how much grip the front tyres have. The smaller tyres on Air trim have less grip, but the EV2 isn't a sporty car so that's not a major issue.

Is it quiet and how easy is it to drive smoothly?

The Kia EV2 has adjustable levels of regenerative braking (for harvesting energy when slowing down). In its strongest setting, the EV2 comes to a standstill without you using the brake pedal at all. You just lift off the accelerator pedal.

advertisment

scroll for more

If you'd rather do the braking yourself, you’ll be relieved to hear that the brake pedal responds smoothly and predictably. Indeed, the brakes are less grabby at slow speeds than the Renault 4’s.

There's some light motor whine at times, some suspension noise on rough roads, and you'll hear some wind and road noise at motorways speed. None of that's out of the ordinary for a small EV, though, or loud enough to be annoying.

What’s the range and efficiency like, and how quickly can it charge?

The Standard Range battery has a usable capacity of 41kWh, which enables an official range of 195 miles. That's a few miles farther than the entry-level Renault 5 manages officially. The Standard Range averages around 4.0 miles per kWh in mixed driving, including long stretches of motorway, which suggests a real-world range of around 155 miles.

The Long Range has a bigger 58kWh (usable capacity) battery with an official range of 275 miles. That’s quite a bit farther than the Jeep Avenger and Renault 4 can manage between charges, although the Leapmotor B05 uses its 67.1kWh battery to achieve a longer official WLTP range of up to 300 miles.

A 10-80% top-up in the Kia EV2 takes around half an hour in ideal conditions, assuming you’re plugged into a fast enough charging point. That’s roughly on a par with the Citroën ë-C3 Aircross, Avenger and Renault 4. Charging from 0-100% at home, using a 7kW home charger, should take just over nine hours.

The EV2 is also the first Kia with 22kW AC charging. That means you can plug in at slower public charging points and pay less per kWh of electricity. Assuming you aren’t in a hurry, of course.

You can't add a heat pump, which helps with efficiency in extreme weather, to any version other than top-spec GT-Line S. We cannot fathom out why you can't add it to cheaper trims, or why you have to pay extra for it on a trim that's already very costly; the Renault 4 includes a heat pump as standard on every trim.

I found it easy to slow down smoothly in the EV2. Squeezing the brake pedal gives a predictable slowing effect.

Interior

The interior layout, fit and finish

Strengths

• Lofty driving position
• Excellent visibility out the front and sides
• Some helpful physical controls

Weaknesses

• Renault 4 has a better infotainment system...
• ...and more physical buttons
• Tricky to see the climate-control touchscreen

What does the interior look like and is it well made?

As with its exterior, the Kia EV2’s interior takes inspiration from the larger Kia EV3, featuring a very similar design and the same trio of digital screens. That means there's a 12.3in digital driver's display behind the steering wheel, a 12.3in infotainment touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard, and a 5.3in touchscreen sandwiched in between for operating some of the climate control features.

There are plenty of hard plastics in the EV2’s interior, but everything feels well bolted together. The only soft finishes, other than the seats, is a padded section across the face of the dashboard that extends onto the front doors. On the Air version it's finished in vinyl that's the same grey as the rest of the dashboard; it doesn't add much of a visual lift. From GT-Line trim upwards it's finished in recycled fabric that looks and feels more upmarket.

advertisment

scroll for more

The buttons and switches dotted around the interior don’t feel at all cheap or unpleasant to use, either, so overall, the EV2 has the edge over the Renault 4 for interior quality.

Is the driving position comfortable and is it easy to see out?

Whether or not you think the EV2 deserves to be called an SUV, there’s no doubt you sit farther from the road than you would in a regular small electric hatchback, such as a Renault 5 or Vauxhall Corsa Electric. What’s more, the seat lines up neatly with the steering wheel and pedals so the driving position feels naturally good.

Air trim doesn't get lumbar adjustment for the driver's seat but it's still comfortable for a long trip. The front seats don't have much side bolstering, but the grippy cloth upholstery stops you sliding about through corners. GT-Line trim (and above) has a fully electric driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support.

The EV2's upright, relatively thin windscreen pillars, and its tall side windows, give you a great view ahead and to the sides. Rear vision is a little more restricted but still good for the class.

advertisment

scroll for more

All versions come with front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera. You’ll need to upgrade to range-topping GT-Line S if you want a 360-degree surround view camera.

Is the dashboard and infotainment system easy to use?

The 12.3in digital screen in front of the driver is clear and easy to read. Sadly, the 5.3in screen to the left of it isn't. That's the dedicated touchscreen for the climate controls, but you can't see it from the driver's seat because the steering wheel is in the way.

The EV2's saving grace is a smattering of physical buttons in the middle of its dashboard; they alter the basics, such as interior temperature, fan speed and stereo volume. The Renault 4 has even more physical controls, but there are plenty of rivals, such as the Peugeot e-2008, that force you to change nearly every setting using icons on the infotainment touchscreen.

Speaking of infotainment touchscreens, the EV2's isn't as easy to use or responsive as the Renault 4's, but it's okay by class standards. The images are crisp and the menus are fine – once you are used to some quirks – but the software is occasionally laggy.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all versions, GT-Line trim adds a wireless phone charger, and range-topping GT-Line S trim swaps the regular six-speaker stereo for an upgraded Harman Kardon system with eight speakers.

In other electric Kias, including the EV3 and EV9, I find the rim of the steering wheel blocks the air-conditioning panel. Thankfully this isn’t the case in the EV2.

Tips & Advice

Which smartphone integration should I have?

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fantastic – and free – technologies. Here we show you the benefits, drawbacks and best apps

Passenger & boot space

How it copes with people and clutter

Strengths

• Roomy front seats
• A couple of six-footers can fit in the rear seats
• Feels light and airy inside

Weaknesses

• There are small EVs with bigger rear seats
• And ones with more luggage space
• The boot floor isn't height-adjustable

How much space does it have for people?

The EV2’s open interior and large windows make it feel bigger and airier, in the front than some regular small electric cars, such as the Renault 5. Two six-footers will fit just fine in the front, and have plenty of storage space, including a large tray between the driver and passenger with various divisions and compartments.

advertisment

scroll for more

It's also less claustrophobic in the back of the EV2 than the Renault 4 – again, thanks to the EV2's taller side windows but also its lighter interior colour schemes. The EV2's rear seats also deliver a more natural seating position – you sit higher from the floor – than the Renault 4's.

In terms of actual space in the back, the EV2 has a touch more head room than the Renault 4 but knee room is similar. In essence, you can fit tall adults in the EV2's outer rear seats – as long as the front seats aren't all the way back.

Fitting three adults in the back of the EV2 will be a squeeze – for everyone concerned – but the rear floor is completely flat (unlike the Peugeot e-2008's) so the middle passenger has plenty of foot space. The outer-rear passengers have room for their feet under the front seats.

Kia offers a four-seat configuration for the EV2 in other countries, in which the rear seats slide back and forth to free up knee room or boot space depending on your needs. Sadly, there are no plans to offer this in the UK.

advertisment

scroll for more

How much room does it have for luggage?

Open the EV2's tailgate and the positives include the usefully wide aperture, squared-off luggage area, and low lip from the bottom of the boot opening to the boot floor. The negative is it's quite shallow, but that's because the boot floor lifts up to reveal a separate storage area beneath.

That creates a place for the charging cables and other shallow items but, unlike most cars, the floor height isn't adjustable. If you want to get something tall or bulky in there, such as a pushchair, you have to remove the floor entirely. And even then, the Renault 4's boot is a lot deeper and, at 420 litres, much bigger. The EV2's boot is 362 litres, which is closer in size to a small hatchback's boot, such as the Renault 5's. The Leapmotor B05 sits between them with 345 litres of boot space, which expands to a much larger 1,400 litres once you fold its 60:40 split rear seats flat.

As a result, you may find the need to create more luggage space by dropping the rear seatbacks, which are split 60/40. When they're lowered, the extended load bay is flat, so it's easy to slide in long items.

From GT-Line trim the EV2 also comes with a front boot; it's only 15 litres, which is quite small, but that's enough for a set of charging cables.

The optional four-seat configuration with sliding rear seats is really handy when you’re juggling boot space and leg room for your rear passengers – so I think it’s a pity Kia has decided not to offer this in the UK.

Buying & owning

Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is

Strengths

• Even the cheapest trim is well equipped
• Qualifies for the full Government EV grant
• Seven-year warranty

Weaknesses

• No Euro NCAP safety rating
• Heat pump isn't available on most of the range

How much does it cost and what equipment do you get?

Once Kia's sold off all its stock of First Edition trims with the smaller Standard Range battery, the entry-level Kia EV2 will be the Long Range in Air trim. And that qualifies for the full £3750 EV grant, which makes it competitively priced; it costs less to buy outright than an equivalent Jeep Avenger Electric or Peugeot e-2008. The entry-level Renault 4 is still cheaper, though.

As with most EVs, if you're a company car user you'll benefit from lower benefit-in-kind tax with an EV2 than you would an equivalent petrol, diesel, or even plug-in hybrid (PHEV) small SUV.

Entry-level Air trim is our pick of the range. It comes with a surprisingly fulsome level of kit for the money, including 16in alloy wheels, adaptive cruise control, climate control, automatic lights and wipers, LED headlights, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, , rear centre armrest, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, keyless entry, plus all the parking aids and infotainment features we've covered elsewhere in this review.

GT Line adds 19in alloys, two-tone faux-leather seats, adaptive LED headlights, rear privacy glass, and we've already discussed the electrically adjustable front seats, adjustable front lumbar support, and the additional front boot it includes.

advertisment

scroll for more

GT-Line S is too pricey to recommend, but adds a sunroof, ventilated front seats (with memory settings), customisable interior ambient lights, vehicle-to-load (V2L), and the punchier Harman Kardon sound system we talked about in the infotainment section. It's the only version that's available with a heat pump, too, but you have to pay extra for it.

Is it reliable, and how long is the warranty?

The EV2 is too new for us to have any reliability data on it. However, the signs are promising because the larger Kia EV3, which sits on the same basic underpinnings, was the most dependable electric SUV in the 2025 What Car? Reliability Survey.

Kia as a brand also finished a commendable eighth place (out of 30) in the manufacturer league table. Better still, Kia EV2 is backed up by a seven-year (100,000-mile) warranty on most components, with extended eight-year cover for the battery (also capped at 100,000 miles).

How safe is it, and is it easy to steal?

Euro NCAP hadn’t completed its safety testing at the time of writing, so we can’t tell how well the EV2 is likely to protect you and your family if an accident can’t be avoided. Again, the EV3 is a good guide, though, because it's not much bigger and uses the same crash structures; the EV3 achieved a respectable, rather than an outstanding, four-star overall Euro NCAP rating, whereas the Leapmotor B05 has already secured a full five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

advertisment

scroll for more

We do know that the EV2 comes with plenty of safety aids to help prevent any incidents in the first place. The entry-level Air trim has mandated features, such as automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane assist, speeding alerts, and driver attention monitoring, but also includes extras such as exit warning to stop you opening the door into the path of a cyclist. Upgrading to GT-Line S adds even more active safety features, including blindspot monitoring.

All versions will come fitted with a Thatcham Category 2 alarm and immobiliser to help keep thieves at bay.

Buy it if...

- You want a small EV with an elevated driving position

- You want a great range for the money

- You want a car that’s easy to see out of

Don’t buy it if…

- You want fun, agile handling or an ultra-cushy ride

- You need maximum luggage space

- You want the peace of mind of a confirmed Euro NCAP safety rating

FAQs

Is the Kia EV2 a good car?

Yes, as long as you're not expecting pin-sharp handling and top-notch performance. The EV2 is easy to drive, reasonably comfy on smaller wheels, and the Long Range version offers a competitive electric range for a sensible price.

What is the range of the EV2?

That depends which version you go for. The Standard Range can officially manage up to 195 miles but it's not going to be offered for long. The Long Range is going to be the default offering and the version to go for – its official range of up to 275 miles betters the Renault 4's potential.

Does the Kia EV2 qualify for the UK Government's EV grant?

The Standard Range doesn't, which is why we recommend the Long Range model. It has a bigger battery that comes from Europe, where the EV2 is made, so it qualifies for the full £3750 grant, making it a very competitive proposition.
