Kia blackens everything on the EV2 — and the city car segment will never be the same
Kia just dropped a blacked-out EV2 Black-Line with Harman/Kardon, V2L and a panoramic display. Deliveries in September, price set at 40,890 euros.
Kia is done pretending a city EV has to be boring. Enter the EV2 Black-Line — a special edition just over four meters long, and in it, literally everything has gone dark: exterior trim, badges, cabin, faux-leather upholstery. Deliveries start in September, with a price tag of 40,890 euros.
Under the skin sits a 61 kWh battery and 418 km of range on a single charge. The electric motor produces 135 hp, the 0-100 km/h sprint takes 9.7 seconds, top speed caps at 161 km/h. The numbers aren’t record-breaking. But Black-Line plays on a different field.
Standard kit includes a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a Harman/Kardon audio system, a 230 V outlet, a heat pump, dual-zone climate, a rear-view camera, heated front seats and pop-out door handles. For a city EV, the spec sheet borders on indecent.
The centerpiece inside is a three-section panoramic display: navigation, digital instrument cluster and touch-based climate controls all under one sheet of glass. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Kia Connect, over-the-air updates — all present. And the kicker is V2L plus 362 to 403 liters of trunk space, with another 15 liters up front. Powering a coffee machine at a picnic or hauling a flat-pack haul from IKEA — this little one handles both.
