The Kia EV2 is the latest challenger in the increasingly competitive small EV market, but it has a tough job on its hands: taking on the Renault 4, one of Electrifying.com’s favourite electric cars.
Nicola Hume and James ‘Batch’ Batchelor put the two head-to-head to see which is the better buy. We compare range, charging, practicality, interior, technology, performance, ride and handling, pricing and value – and find out whether Kia’s futuristic new EV can really beat Renault’s clever retro offering.
The EV2 fights back with up to 281 miles of range, a longer warranty and faster peak DC charging, while the Renault 4 is lighter, quicker, more practical and cheaper to lease.
But which one would we actually spend our money on?
Watch the full twin test and let us know which one you'd choose in the comments.
