Kia has unveiled its latest affordable electric car alongside a host of new offers to help drivers make the switch away from petrol and diesel vehicles.
Prices for the new Kia EV2 have been confirmed to start from £24,245, thanks to a new £3,750 Kia Reservation Saving as it expands its electric car offering.
The EV2 will act as the brand's entry-level electric car in the B-SUV segment, with affordable prices compared to its rivals, and an impressive range of 281 miles.
Reservations have been opened for motorists, while deliveries will commence later this year. Drivers looking at finance options can start from just £195 for the "Air" trim level.

Alongside the Air, drivers will be able to choose from other powertrains, including the First Edition, GT-Line and the GT-Line S.
All of the models will benefit from the £3,750 Kia Reservation Saving, apart from the First Edition model, which attracts a £1,500 saving.
Kia's new Motion variant of the EV4 also qualified for the Electric Car Grant, in addition to the PV5 Passenger, which continues to benefit.
Sjoerd Knipping, COO at Kia Europe, said: "The EV2 is a pillar in Kia's long-term European electrification strategy.

"By packaging advanced EV technology into a B-segment SUV produced in Europe, we are expanding access to electric mobility at scale.
"The EV2 is our second EV to be manufactured locally and reinforces our commitment to responsible mobility solutions for Europe."
Drivers interested in the Kia EV2 can make use of rapid charging, with the 400V architecture taking it from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in just 29 minutes.
The EV2 is already in production in Žilina, Slovakia, after the factory was modernised last year, while the 61kWh long-range and GT-Line variants will begin in June 2026.

Kia added that it was waiting for the UK Government's decision regarding whether it will be eligible for the Electric Car Grant.
