Kia has unveiled the all-new EV2, a compact, European-built electric SUV and the most accessible entry point into Kia’s growing EV range. Designed for everyday life, the EV2 combines bold SUV styling, smart technology and impressive practicality — all in a compact footprint.

Shelbourne Motors Kia Newry is excited to introduce the all-new Kia EV2, the latest electric model to join the Kia range later this year.

Compact outside, spacious inside

Despite being just under four metres long, the EV2 offers excellent interior space. Sliding and reclining rear seats provide flexibility for passengers or luggage, with up to 403 litres of boot space plus a handy front storage compartment. It’s designed to work as a true main family car.

Confident electric performance

The EV2 is available with two battery options:

42.2kWh – up to 317km range

61.0kWh – up to 448km range (WLTP pending)

Fast DC charging gets you back on the road in around 30 minutes, while 11kW and 22kW AC charging provide added convenience at home or in public.


Smart technology as standard

Inside, the EV2 features Kia’s latest infotainment systems with triple-screen displays, wireless connectivity, over-the-air updates and Kia Upgrades. Advanced driver assistance systems, digital key functionality and premium audio options bring upper-segment technology into a compact EV.

Designed for modern European life

Built in Slovakia, the EV2 reflects Kia’s commitment to Europe. Sustainable materials are used throughout, including bio-based plastics and recycled fabrics, helping reduce environmental impact without compromising quality.

A new gateway to electric driving

Versatile, well equipped and easy to live with, the Kia EV2 makes electric mobility more accessible than ever — delivering the best of Kia EV innovation in a compact SUV designed for everyday journeys.

Production begins in early 2026, with market launch details to be confirmed closer to release.
