The Kia EV2 is a compact all-electric SUV with five seats, front-wheel drive and a body just over four metres long. It sits at the small end of Kia's electric range, and it's built for drivers who want SUV height and view without SUV bulk.
It suits city and suburban drivers, downsizers and households adding a second car - although with up to 275 miles of WLTP range on the bigger battery, plenty of people will run one as their only car. Road testers consistently describe it as easy, quiet and unfussy to drive, rather than sporty.
The choice is simple: one SUV body, one electric powertrain offered with a 42.2 kWh or 61 kWh battery, and four trims - Air, First Edition, GT-Line and GT-Line S.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The EV2 is Kia's smallest electric SUV, a five-seat, five-door car of 4.06 to 4.07 metres with a 2.57 m wheelbase and a 362-litre boot that opens out to 1,201 litres with the rear seats folded. It's the entry point to Kia's family of numbered EVs.
Reviewers consistently praise the driving position, the visibility, the light steering and how quiet it stays at motorway speed. The common criticism is the boot: usefully wide and squared off, but shallow and smaller than some rivals offer. Handling is tuned for comfort, not entertainment, and testers note the car leans in faster corners.
Servicing falls due every 24 months or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first - a low-effort ownership pattern that fits a typical lease term. Insurance sits in group 20 or 21 depending on version.
Because the standard kit list is unusually complete for a small SUV, and because leasing keeps you in a car whose technology is moving quickly. Every EV2 has adaptive cruise control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry and start and built-in navigation.
Safety and assistance equipment is standard across the range too: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist, front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera. Climate control, roof rails, rain-sensing wipers, power-folding mirrors and an electric parking brake are fitted to every version.
Practically, you get five seats, 362 litres of boot space with the rear bench up, a turning circle of 10.0 to 10.3 metres and braked towing of up to 750 kg. If you're new to electric cars, our electric car guide covers the basics before you commit to a contract.
There's one powertrain to choose from: a single front-mounted electric motor, with an automatic gearbox and no petrol engine at all. Battery size varies by version, and that's what changes the range and the charging time.
Battery capacity runs from 42.2 kWh to 61 kWh, power from 133 to 144 bhp, and WLTP range from 195 up to 275 miles. Charging peaks at 118 kW, which takes the best version from 10-80% in 29 minutes; an 11 kW home or workplace supply does 10-100% in 4.1 hours on that version.
It's automatic, front-wheel drive, with 250 Nm of torque and a 100 mph top speed. Efficiency of 3.8 to 4.1 miles per kWh is what makes home charging cheap. A Heat Pump Pack is offered as an option, and it's worth asking about if you do winter mileage. Our guide to charging an electric car explains the practicalities.

Four trims: Air, First Edition, GT-Line and GT-Line S. Air already covers the essentials, so the decision is really about wheel size, sound system, parking tech and whether you want a sunroof.
The entry trim gets 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a 12.3-inch touchscreen navigation system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an artificial leather steering wheel, cloth upholstery and air conditioning. Smaller wheels and taller tyres tend to ride better on poor surfaces, which is a genuine argument for staying here. The Air is currently available from £257.74 a month inc VAT.
Over the Air, First Edition adds 18-inch alloy wheels, a Harman Kardon eight-speaker sound system, Remote Smart Park Assist, privacy glass for the rear windows and tailgate, and customisable ambient lighting. It also brings a 360-degree camera, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, wireless phone charging, self-steering parking and automatic high beam. The First Edition is currently available from £350.14 a month inc VAT. Against the Air, that is currently £92.40/mo more expensive (inc VAT).
GT-Line is mainly about the look: 19-inch GT alloy wheels and two-tone artificial leather upholstery in place of cloth, plus rear cross-traffic alert to warn you of traffic crossing behind as you reverse. Bigger wheels do firm up the ride. The GT-Line is currently available from £302.64 a month inc VAT. Against the First Edition, that is currently £47.50/mo cheaper (inc VAT). Best value
The top trim adds a wide front sunroof that tilts and slides, ventilated front seats, a Harman Kardon eight-speaker sound system, a smart power tailgate and customisable ambient lighting, along with a 360-degree camera and electric seat memory. It keeps the 19-inch wheels and artificial leather of GT-Line. The GT-Line S is currently available from £348.66 a month inc VAT. Against the GT-Line, that is currently £46.02/mo more expensive (inc VAT).
If the EV2 is on your shortlist, three others cover similar ground: the Renault 4, the smaller Hyundai Inster and the Fiat 600. You can also browse the rest of the Kia lease range.
