Can Kia's Smallest EV Survive Lisbon's Cobblestones, the Motorway, and a Full Real-World Range Test?

The Kia EV2 is Europe's smallest Kia EV at 4,060mm long, sharing its platform with the EV3. The standard range packs a 42.2 kWh gross battery against an official 197-mile WLTP claim. A British reviewer takes it up 12% cobblestone gradients, onto a motorway at 120 km/h, and out along the Atlantic coast before plugging in at 19% remaining. The 145 hp motor holds its own, the interior is near-identical to the EV3 with three screens, and the boot holds 363 litres. The long-range 61 kWh version promises 281 miles and may qualify for the full UK grant of £3,750, putting both versions at around £25,000.
