Chippenham Motor Company is excited to invite customers across Wiltshire and the surrounding areas to experience the all-new Kia EV2 for the very first time at our upcoming First Drive Event, starting 30 April 2026 at our Chippenham showroom.

As part of Kia’s nationwide First Drive programme, the event gives local drivers the opportunity to get behind the wheel of one of Kia’s newest fully electric vehicles before it officially arrives on UK roads later this year.

Running across selected dates between April and June, the First Drive events will take place at Kia dealerships across the country. At Chippenham Motor Company, guests will be able to attend from 30 April 2026, with a limited number of pre-booked one-hour experience slots available.

Customers can reserve their space through Kia's dedicated booking portal. Due to high expected demand, early booking is strongly recommended.

At Chippenham Motor Company, the First Drive event has been designed to give customers a relaxed, informative, and hands-on introduction to Kia’s newest electric SUV.

Guests attending the event will enjoy a dedicated one-hour experience, including:

• A personal walkaround with one of our EV specialists, introducing the EV2’s design, technology and practicality
• A half-hour accompanied test drive on a carefully planned route around the local area
• The opportunity to ask questions about switching to electric driving and explore the wider Kia EV range in our showroom

To ensure a premium experience for every guest, appointments are limited and must be booked in advance.

The Kia EV2 is Kia’s most compact electric vehicle yet, designed specifically for European drivers and perfectly suited to modern everyday life.

Despite its compact size, the EV2 delivers impressive practicality, offering space for five passengers and up to 362 litres of boot capacity thanks to its dedicated electric vehicle platform.

Two battery options will be available, 42.2kWh and 61.0kWh, providing impressive range capability for drivers looking to make the switch to electric.

Built on Kia’s advanced 400V E-GMP electric platform, the EV2 supports rapid DC charging, allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes.

The EV2 also introduces a range of advanced technologies typically found in larger premium EVs, including:

• Triple-screen infotainment display
• Over-the-air (OTA) updates
• Digital Key smartphone access
• Plug & Charge capability
• Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) functionality
• Remote Smart Parking Assist Entry, allowing the vehicle to be manoeuvred using the smart key from outside the car

With Kia’s bold Opposites United design philosophy, sustainable interior materials, and impressive technology, the EV2 is set to become one of the most exciting compact electric SUVs on the market.

UK pricing and full specifications will be announced soon, with first customer deliveries expected later in 2026.

The EV2 First Drive event continues Kia’s successful electric experience programme, which previously introduced models such as the EV3, EV4, EV5, EV6, EV9 and Niro EV to customers across the UK.

These events have proven incredibly popular, helping drivers learn more about electric vehicles and experience Kia’s EV technology first-hand.

At Chippenham Motor Company, we’re proud to bring this exclusive experience to local customers and give drivers in Wiltshire the opportunity to discover the EV2 before it officially launches.

Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance.
