"A B-segment electric crossover, the Kia EV2 is expected to start from around $35,000 (30,000) when it goes on sale next month, making it the Korean automaker's cheapest new EV yet. For reference, the boxy battery-powered crossover will compete with cars like the Renault 4, Ford Puma Gen-E and the upcoming Volkswagen ID. Polo Cross, all of which are or will be similarly priced."
"Based on a 400-volt version of the same E-GMP platform that underpins cars like the EV3 and EV4, the new Kia EV2 will only be available with a single front-mounted electric motor and two battery options. The Standard Range model is powered by a 42.2-kilowatt-hour pack that enables an estimated WLTP range of 197 miles (317 kilometers), while the Long Range version gets a 61-kWh battery and 278 miles (448 km) of range."
