It may be Kia’s smallest electric vehicle, but the EV2 is a “big” deal. Kia’s electric SUV beat its official range estimate by 105% in a recent real-world test, outperforming all others in its class.
Kia EV2 beats its WLTP range rating in real-world test
Kia opened orders for the EV2 in Europe, the UK, and a few other regions in April, its smallest, most affordable EV positioned below the popular EV3.
Measuring just over 4,000 mm (160″) in length, the EV2 is even smaller than the Volkswagen ID.3 and Chevy Bolt EV, but Kia’s compact electric SUV is expected to be a big hit for the brand.
During the Summer El Prix EV test, held by the Norwegian Automobile Federation (NAF) and Motor Magazine, the Kia EV2 standard range model with a 42.2 kWh battery drove 325 km (201 miles) on a single charge, beating its WLTP range rating of 308 km (191 miles) by 105%.
