There’s no denying Kia is riding high on the crest of a wave with its range of EV models scooping a wealth of awards, and with sales figures simply booming.

And now the Korean manufacturer is launching into one of Europe’s highest-volume sectors – the B-segment SUV. The EV2 is Kia’s smallest electric car to date (don’t rule out an EV1 though) and prices start from £24,245.

Customers will be able to select from two batteries, the Standard Range 42.2kWh unit can deliver 197 miles on a single charge, while the Extended Range 61.0kWh battery can cover up to 281 miles.

The car is designed, engineered and built in Europe for the European market, so it is perfectly tuned for our roads. In the UK, it’s offered as the Air entry-level car, as well as First Edition, GT-Line and GT-Line S models.

The EV2 is sold in Europe with a choice of four or five seats, but only the latter configuration is available to UK customers.

We headed to Lisbon in Portugal for the European launch of the EV2 where the only model currently available is a Baseline version, which is the European entry-level car. However, it boasts plenty of features that would normally only appear on GT-Line or GT-Line S cars in the UK. It had the smaller 42.2kWh battery, although Kia believes most UK buyers will opt for the extended Range 61.0kWh version.
