The front of the EV2 features vertically arranged dual headlights. Strong side lines give the car an almost SUV-like presence, while the rear lighting elements are positioned in the lower section.
The interior offers a spacious cabin comfortably accommodating four passengers. The front console houses a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster alongside a 12.3-inch infotainment screen. A 5.3-inch screen in the center is dedicated to climate control settings.

The Standard Range version is powered by a synchronous electric motor producing 147 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. This front-wheel-drive model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 161 km/h.
