The new all-electric Kia EV2 arrives at Howards Kia

Howards Kia has welcomed the arrival of the Kia EV2, giving customers an early look at Kia’s new compact electric model.

The EV2 represents Kia’s vision for a new generation of small, fully electric vehicles designed for urban living, combining compact dimensions with modern styling and practical everyday usability. Its appearance at Howards Motor Group allows customers to explore how Kia plans to expand its award-winning EV line-up at the more affordable end of the market.

Building on the success of models such as the EV6, EV9 and the recently introduced EV3, the EV2 is expected to appeal to drivers seeking a smaller, more agile electric car without compromising on technology or design. The model reflects Kia’s wider electrification strategy, which aims to make electric vehicles more attainable while maintaining the brand’s reputation for quality, reliability and long warranties.

Visitors to Howards Kia will be able to see the EV2 up close, explore its bold design cues, and learn more about how it fits into Kia’s growing electric future. The EV2 offers a clear indication of Kia’s direction in the compact EV segment.

To mark the EV2’s arrival, Howards Motor Group are hosting exclusive Kia EV2 First Drive Weekends, allowing customers to enjoy early access to the new model through a personalised, one‑hour experience. Each session includes a dedicated walkaround with a trained EV specialist and a 30‑minute accompanied test drive, designed to showcase the EV2’s real‑world performance, comfort and electric driving benefits.
