KIA EV2 electric lease deals

Leasing a Kia EV2  in the UK

“A first impression that lasts” the new Kia EV2 hatchback is the latest small electric car option from the Korean group. As one of the UK’s major EV suppliers, the team have been busy producing an option in almost every segment.

When you consider their EV3 / EV4 SUV and Fastback / EV4 / EV6 SUV / EV9 SUV, you soon realise that this is a brand which is wholly invested in battery technology. In terms of the array of product options and diversity, there are very few brands which have managed to keep up with the velocity of Kia.

However, not every personal and business customer in the UK is awash with money. Realistically, some customers are on a budget and need smaller and more affordable options to lease. With the UK Government now investing into elements like charging for terraced properties and the underlying cost of energy, making the economic environment more affordable for all will necessitate vehicles which meet this criterion. The EV2, with a price range around £25,000 - £30,000 will almost certainly do this.

What specifications are available on the new Kia EV2? As per the Kia website you can choose from:

• EV2 Air - this includes 16” alloys, LED headlamps, 6-speaker audio system, roof rails and dual temperature control;

•  EV2 Earth  - this adds 18” alloys, privacy glass, ambient lighting, Harmon Kardon premium sound and the Highway Driving Assist 2.0;

• EV2 GT-Line  - this adds 19” alloys, 3-spoke GT Line steering wheel, metal pedals, memory driver seat, ventilated front seats and the digital key.

In terms of colours choose between Magma Red, Morning Haze, Frost Blue, Delux White, Ivory Silver and Wolf Gray.

The EV2 is being pushed as a compact yet bold vehicle, utilising a refined and agile form. Using advanced ADAS features together with leading battery and vehicle technology, the new hatch is very much about character with the iconic tiger-nose design, signature LED lighting, aerodynamic profile, vertical taillights, spacious yet flexible interior and the 403L of storage capacity.
