It’s official. We will finally get to see the new Kia EV2 and EV4 later this month for the first time. Kia just previewed several new models from its affordable EV series for the first time ahead of their big debut later this month. The teaser gives us a closer look at what to expect from the new Kia EV2 and EV4. Check out the images below.
Kia previews first look at the new EV4, EV2, and PV5
Kia unveiled the EV4 concept during its first “EV Day” event in 2023. The EV4 was showcased alongside the EV3 and EV5, both of which are already on the market.
Although the EV2 didn’t make an appearance, Kia confirmed at the event that an even smaller, more affordable electric car was in the works.
Later this month, we will finally get our first look at the new model. Kia will unveil the EV2 concept during its second EV Day coming up on February 27, 2025.
During the event, Kia will also reveal its updated electrification strategy, which is “set to transform the global EV market,” the company claimed. Three new models will be presented, representing Kia’s “bold new strategy,” including the EV2 concept, EV4, and PV5 electric van.
Kia teased the new EV models for the first time with a few close-up images. As expected, the EV4 maintains its distinct fastback, almost sports-car-like rear end.
Although we’ve seen the electric sedan a few times after it was spotted in public testing, this is the closest look Kia has given us.
Kia will unveil the EV2 concept during the event, a compact electric crossover SUV that will sit below the EV3. Although Kia has yet to reveal prices, CEO Ho-Sung Song told Autocar during its 2023 EV Day that the EV2 would go on sale in Europe with a target price of around £25,000 ($30,000). In Korea, prices could start as low as KRW 20 million ($20,000).
Ahead of its debut, the EV2 has also been caught out in the wild with a Kia Soul-like design. However, the compact EV is expected to have a sportier, smoother design.
The PV5, Kia’s first electric Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV), will make its global debut during the event. Kia’s “game-changing” PBV platform can be modified for different uses, such as delivery or starting a business. The PV5, a mid-size model, is expected to challenge Volkswagen’s ID.Buzz in the electric van market
It will be available in different configurations, such as basic (for passengers), van (for delivery/ transport), or chassis cab (like a pickup truck bed).
