2025 Kia Concept EV2

Kia Concept EV2 revealed previewing future production model

Alongside the EV4, Kia also revealed the Concept EV2, the brand's vision for a future B-segment all-electric SÚV, at its EV Day in Barcelona.

The Kia Concept EV2 embodies the spirit of innovation and adventure. The SÚV's advanced connected technology, spacious multi-configurable interior, and innovative rear-hinged back doors provide users with the opportunity for an active urban lifestyle and the freedom to explore and interact with cities in new and more exciting ways.

'The Kia Concept EV2 represents a bold step forward for the future of urban mobility,' said Kia President and CEO, Ho Sung Song. 'With the Concept EV2, we challenged ourselves to create a vehicle that defies expectations, offering innovative technology and practicality beyond its size. This concept previews Kia's future vision to redefine the segment, bringing a new level of sophistication and usability to urban drivers. It's a clear signal of our dedication to making electric vehicles truly accessible for everyone.'

What are the key features of the Kia Concept EV2's exterior design?
• Clean, confident exterior look with vertical DRLs, Kia's Star Map signature lighting, and a dynamic appearance
• Compact design, with a strong silhouette and rugged bumpers, gives the Concept EV2 a bold, premium feel
• Profile combines solid stance with a dynamic shoulder line, robust fenders, and geometric glass and wheel arch details for a refined, technical look

The Concept EV2 is instantly identifiable as part of the Kia EV family, and its clean design projects a unique, confident character. The front features a technical face framed by vertical daytime running lights (DRLs), delivering a strong sense of modernity, dynamism and a spirit of adventure. Kia's Star Map signature lighting features an open lamp design without cover glass, creating a striking visual impact.

Despite its compact, city-friendly dimensions, the Concept EV2's upright stance reflects the car's bold, sophisticated focus. The vehicle's bumpers and lower graphic elements offer a more rugged appearance, highlighting the Concept EV2's purposeful design and engaging personality.

The SÚV's profile combines an upscale exterior with a solid stance, featuring a spacious cabin that enhances its premium appeal. The upright front profile projects confidence and links seamlessly to the taut, strong rear section through a shoulder line that conveys technical sophistication. The robust fenders create a striking contrast with the geometric design of the glass area and wheel arches, adding to the vehicle's dynamic character.

What are the key features of the Concept EV2's interior?


The Concept EV2 has been designed to blend seamlessly with the demands of busy urban lifestyles. It features a vibrant interior with strong use of sustainable materials. Although it may be the smallest Kia EV yet, Concept EV2 projects a big personality. Its unique, multi-configurable interior provides a comfortable space that offers a retreat from the stresses of city life.

Despite its compact size, the EV2 offers an expandable space with a folding second-row seat. The agile, B-segment SÚV also includes features typically found in larger vehicle classes, including Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) charging and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates.

Diagonal LED lighting on the Concept EV2's front door cards beautifully accentuate the contrast between the front and rear spaces, creating a striking visual effect. Complementing this is the triangular-pattern lighting and a unique LED dashboard animation, which together create a relaxing and inspiring interior atmosphere.

The metal surface that runs along the lower portion of the car's dashboard is a standout design feature. This area's triangular design also incorporates a wireless charger and a power outlet, providing tri-functional versatility that elevates the overall cabin experience.

Inspired by the values of 'Opposites Únited', the Concept EV2's interior blends practicality and emotion. The second-row seats fold up, allowing the front-row seats to slide back as far as possible.

This creates an expansive area that users can take full advantage of when the vehicle is parked. They can relax in the seats, stretch out their legs, or even sit on the vehicle's flat floor to enjoy a meal.

With no central pillar and rear-hinged back doors that deliver an expansive opening, improving accessibility, occupants can also easily connect with the outdoors. Similarly, once the doors are open and the rear bench is lifted, the front bench can slide back and be used as a place to unwind.

Concept EV2 features pop-up sliding luggage dividers and straps that help secure items of all sizes. Kia's message lighting allows occupants to display text messages through the vehicle's windows to communicate with pedestrians and other road users, while advanced connected technology unlocks a new dimension in audio experience.

The triangular speakers mounted in the door trim are removable and portable. This innovative feature enables users to place the speakers in different locations inside the vehicle, or even remove the speakers from the vehicle to enhance enjoyment when the EV2 is parked – at a charging station, for example.

When will the production Kia EV2 go on sale?
The Kia EV2 is expected to launch in Europe and other regions in 2026.

The Kia EV4, unveiled as a concept at Kia's 2023 EV Day held in Seoul, Korea, is Kia's first electrified saloon and hatchback. It extends the appeal of Kia's mainstream line-up, which includes the award-winning Kia EV9 (2024 World Car of the Year) and Kia EV6 (2022 European Car of the Year), offering innovative yet familiar features that transcend what is typically offered in the C-segment saloon sector and catering to a diverse range of customers.

The Kia Concept EV2 previews a new B-segment SÚV EV as the newest addition to the Kia EV family. Like the EV4, it highlights Kia's effort to make EVs more accessible with features that go beyond its class, offering innovative experiences.



Built on a dedicated platform that delivers innovations in hardware, software, customer experience and manufacturing processes, the PV5 plays a key role in advancing and transforming the global market, significantly improving customers' personal and business lives.

In addition to unveiling its new model line-up, the event showcased Kia's EV strategy, providing insight into how the brand will continue to drive the acceleration and transformation of the global EV market.

'With models like the Kia EV4 and the vision shown in the Kia Concept EV2, we strive to democratise EV ownership, making the benefits of sustainable mobility solutions open to everyone.

'In an era that places ever greater demand for customised products and experiences, buyers still expect manufacturers to meet their needs,' Song added. 'As a first mover in the PBV sector, Kia, through the PV5, combines a customer-first approach with advanced EV technology to transform personal mobility.'

The 2025 Kia EV Day marks the second event of its kind for the brand. Kia chose Spain as the location due to its significance in its electrification strategy, fuelled by rapid growth in the European EV market.

At the event, Kia displayed nine vehicles in total. The Concept EV2 was shown along with four examples of the EV4: two four-door saloons and two five-door hatchback models. Four variants of the PV5 illustrated the industry-transforming flexibility of Kia's first dedicated PBV model with PV5 'Cargo', PV5 'Passenger', and PV5 'Wheelchair Access Vehicle' (WAV) variants, along with PV5 'Crew', a flagship conversion model developed and produced directly by Kia.

Kia displayed its state-of-the-art PBV-dedicated E-GMP.S (Electric-Global Modular Platform for Service) architecture that allows for flexible configurations through its modular body system.

The exhibition also showcased Kia AddGear, which enables customers to personalise their Kia PBV models by choosing from a wide range of custom accessories, expanding the vehicle's functionality for both personal and business use.

Additionally, the event featured a partnership with Samsung Electronics, highlighting SmartThings Pro – an optimised Internet of Things (IoT) system for PBVs that offers versatile plug & play services.
