TARRAGONA, Spain: Kia Corp has unveiled its Concept EV2 at the brand’s 2025 Kia EV Day in Tarragona, Spain.
The Concept EV2 previews an upcoming all-electric B-segment SUV production model.
The SUV features advanced connected technology, spacious multi-configurable interior, and innovative rear-hinged back doors.
“The Kia Concept EV2 represents a bold step forward for the future of urban mobility,” said Kia president and CEO Ho Sung Song. “With the Concept EV2, we challenged ourselves to create a vehicle that defies expectations, offering innovative technology and practicality beyond its size. This concept previews Kia’s future vision to redefine the segment, bringing a new level of sophistication and usability to urban drivers. It's a clear signal of our dedication to making electric vehicles truly accessible for everyone."
Key features of the Kia Concept EV2’s exterior design:
- Clean, confident exterior look with vertical DRLs, Kia’s Star Map signature lighting
- Compact design, with a strong silhouette and rugged bumpers
- Profile combines solid stance with a dynamic shoulder line, robust fenders, and geometric glass and wheel arch details
The front features a technical face framed by vertical daytime running lights (DRLs).
Kia's Star Map signature lighting features an open lamp design without cover glass.
- Sustainable interior with flexible seating, vibrant design, and functional LED lighting
- Easy access and versatility with rear-hinged doors, flat floor, and wide-opening tailgate for active urban lifestyles
- Concept EV2 features pop-up luggage dividers, message window tech, and removable triangular speakers for customizable audio experience
Despite its compact size, the EV2 offers an expandable space with a folding second-row seat.
The agile, B-segment SUV also includes features typically found in larger vehicle classes, including Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) charging and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates.
Diagonal LED lighting on the Concept EV2’s front door cards beautifully accentuate the contrast between the front and rear spaces, creating a striking visual effect.
Complementing this is the triangular-pattern lighting and a unique LED dashboard animation, which together create a relaxing and inspiring interior atmosphere.
The metal surface that runs along the lower portion of the car’s dashboard is a standout design feature.
This area’s triangular design also incorporates a wireless charger and a power outlet, providing tri-functional versatility that elevates the overall cabin experience.
Inspired by the values of ‘Opposites United’, the Concept EV2’s interior blends practicality and emotion.
The second-row seats fold up, allowing the front-row seats to slide back as far as possible.
This creates an expansive area that users can take full advantage of when the vehicle is parked.
They can relax in the seats, stretch out their legs, or even sit on the vehicle’s flat floor to enjoy a meal.
With no central pillar and rear-hinged back doors that deliver an expansive opening, improving accessibility, occupants can also easily connect with the outdoors.
Similarly, once the doors are open and the rear bench is lifted, the front bench can slide back and be used as a place to unwind.
Concept EV2 features pop-up sliding luggage dividers and straps that help secure items of all sizes.
Kia's message lighting allows occupants to display text messages through the vehicle’s windows to communicate with pedestrians and other road users, while advanced connected technology unlocks a new dimension in audio experience.
The triangular speakers mounted in the door trim are removable and portable.
This innovative feature enables users to place the speakers in different locations inside the vehicle, or even remove the speakers from the vehicle to enhance enjoyment when the EV2 is parked – at a charging station, for example.
The Kia EV2 is expected to launch in Europe and other regions in 2026.
