Our detailed Kia EV2 review first went live in March this year and it was swiftly updated a month later with confirmed Irish pricing.

Hybrid Kia Seltos SUV goes on sale in Ireland from €39,500 - in dealers now
Kia has confirmed Irish pricing for the new Seltos, with the hybrid-only SUV starting at €39,500 in K2 trim. K3 costs €42,500, GT-Line €45,000 and the range-topping GT-Line Plus is €48,000. Customer cars are due to arrive in December, ahead of the 271-registration period in January. In the meantime, every Kia dealer in Ireland has received a Seltos display model, so the new SUV is already available to view nationwide. Make sure you check out our preview - which includes a video overview of the Seltos.
Kia PV7 teased as van and people carrier
Ahead of its world debut at the IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany later this month, the new Kia PV7 has been teased. Its design language clearly follows that of the existing Kia PV5. The PV7 will be the second all-electric commercial vehicle created on Kia's 'Platform Beyond Vehicle' (PBV) architecture. The teaser shots show a panel van and what appears to be a passenger model, as well, though in a camping environment, so we do wonder if Kia has a PV7 camper up its sleeves alongside an MPV. Other variants of the PV5 will also be on display in Hannover, opening its doors on September 14.
