World premiere for the Kia EV2 at Brussels Motor Show 2026

During the Brussels Motor Show 2026, Kia takes an important next step in its electric offensive. On 9 January 2026, the brand-new Kia EV2 celebrates its world premiere in Hall 5 of Brussels Expo. With this fully electric B-segment SUV, specially developed for Europe, Kia strengthens its position as one of the most forward-thinking EV brands of the moment.

The EV2 becomes the new entry-level model within Kia's now fully award-winning 100% electric line-up. Compact in size, but big in ambition: the EV2 aims to make electric mobility genuinely accessible, without sacrificing design, technology or ease of use.

A European EV, designed for everyday life

The Kia EV2 is designed, developed and soon to be produced in Europe, with the European driver clearly in mind. Urban mobility, daily commutes and weekend trips are central to the concept of this compact SUV.

In terms of design, the EV2 resolutely follows Kia's ‘Opposites United’ philosophy. The result is a bold and emotional design with a powerful silhouette, clean surfaces and modern light signatures. The EV2 looks confident and futuristic, while remaining accessible and recognisable, exactly what you'd expect from a new generation of electric Kias.

Smart, connected and surprisingly spacious

Under the bodywork, the EV2 combines modern technology, smart EV functionality and a spacious, flexible interior. Kia clearly aims for maximum efficiency: compact exterior dimensions go hand in hand with surprisingly usable interior space, smart storage solutions and a high level of connectivity.

The EV2 is positioned as a genuine everyday companion, with technology that supports rather than overwhelms. From intuitive infotainment features to smart driver-assistance systems: everything is aimed at comfort, simplicity and confidence behind the wheel.

Electric mobility without compromise

According to Marc Hedrich, President & CEO of Kia Europe, the EV2 plays a key role in Kia's European strategy:

“With the EV2, we're once again confirming our commitment to making electric mobility genuinely accessible to a wider audience, and doing so without compromise. This compact SUV brings the same innovation and the same spirit as our larger electric models, while fitting perfectly into everyday life in Europe.”

The fact that the EV2 is both developed and produced in Europe also underlines Kia's long-term vision for sustainable, locally rooted mobility.

See you in Brussels

The world premiere of the Kia EV2 takes place on 9 January 2026 at 10:40am during the official Kia press conference at the stand in Hall 5. The public can then discover the EV2 up close from 10 to 18 January 2026 at the Brussels Motor Show.

With the EV2, Kia looks ready to redefine the electric B-segment, accessible, attractive and fully tailored to Europe.
