AI generated from our expert reviews

Both of these compact electric cars handle town driving with ease thanks to very light steering that makes tight manoeuvres simple. Out on winding country roads, neither encourages a sporty driving style, preferring a more leisurely and relaxed pace. Once on the motorway, however, you will find a noticeable contrast: the Geely EX2 gets blown about a bit in crosswinds and feels a bit insubstantial, whereas the tall sides of the Kia EV2 remain unfussed by blustery weather. The Kia also packs more power across the range. When carrying passengers, both models can accommodate a six-foot adult behind a six-foot driver, but neither cabin is really wide enough to fit three people across the back without a squeeze. When you need maximum luggage space, folding the rear seats flat gives you more total room in the EX2 than in the EV2.
