Kia EV2

Kia EV2

The smallest Kia EV is one of its appealing. Go try out the EV2 for size.

Kia’s smallest electric model (not for long - an EV1 is on the way) eschews the retro styling of many of its rivals in favour of something far more contemporary, but it still manages to be hugely handsome and appealing. The cabin is way better built and more attractive than you’d think for the price, too. Standard and long-range models are available, but you might not need to upgrade to the long-range version as the regular EV2 seems to do just fine. It’s easy-going and comfortable to drive.
