Kia to debut EV2 at nationwide First Drive Weekends

Kia is inviting customers to experience the future of electric mobility firsthand with the launch of the EV2 First Drives Weekends. Beginning on 16th April, across all 189 Kia Dealerships, the three-day events offer a unique opportunity for prospective EV owners to explore our newest electric vehicle.

The EV2 represents Kia’s entry into the growing EV segment, combining core performance, usability, and cutting-edge technology in a stylish, compact package. Available in exclusive walkaround sessions and personal test drives, the events will give customers an in-depth, hands-on experience with our latest EV.

The Kia EV2

Tailored experience for every customer

Each event runs from Thursday to Sunday, with 20 dealer events per week, and customers can book a specific time slot for a personal test drive. Every session begins with an in-dealer walkaround led by a Kia EV expert. Attendees will be able to study the EV2’s standout features, ask questions, and understand the benefits of owning a Kia electric vehicle with our full range on display.

The First Drive Weekends are a one-stop destination for anyone interested in electric driving, whether they already own an EV or are first-time buyers.
