# Kia EV2: small electric SUV launched in Europe

> Kia has launched the EV2, a small electric SUV larger than the Casper but smaller than the EV3, primarily aimed at the European market, with serial production beginning in Slovakia. In Germany, the model is tested starting from €26,600, with a length of 4.06 m and a 61 kWh battery. In South Korea, the press highlights that the EV2 is not yet on sale and its arrival on the local market remains an open question. Differences between countries therefore concern availability: Germany covers the test drive and price, while South Korea questions potential commercialization.
