Kia EV1

Launch Date | 2027

Kia's cooking up the EV1, a pint-sized electric city car that's big on tech, space, and style. Designed from the ground up as an EV, it promises more room, more power, and none of that petrol-powered faff, perfect for zipping through city streets without the guilt.

The Kia EV1 is set to redefine city driving with its smart design, cutting-edge tech, and surprisingly spacious interior. Perfect for navigating tight spaces and busy streets, it's the ultimate urban companion, zero emissions, maximum convenience.

Salary Sacrifice

EcoMute and save

The EcoMute programme offers substantial savings on an EV1 reducing monthly costs and tax liabilities compared to a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement and maximising financial benefits for employees.

Design

The City Slicker

The EV1 is set to shake up the city car scene with a fresh, futuristic look that's as stylish as it is practical. Expect clever interior design that maximises space, ensuring you don't feel like you're driving around in a shoebox, even if you're squeezing into the tiniest of spots.

Safety

Little Car, Big Protection

The EV1 may be compact, but Kia won't be cutting corners on safety. Expect a solid lineup of driver assists like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keep Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, plus the essentials like six airbags and a reverse camera, because a little peace of mind goes a long way.

Technology

A Pocket Rocket with Perks

Just because it's small doesn't mean it's skimping on tech. Kia is likely to throw in goodies usually reserved for posher cars, digital dials, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, and even V2L, so you can charge your gadgets on the go. Handy, right?

Savings

Save the world and your wallet

By leasing the EV1 through the EcoMute programme, you contribute to reducing carbon emissions. It cuts both corporate Scope 3 GHG emissions and personal carbon footprints, as electric vehicles emit significantly lower greenhouse gases compared to conventional cars.

Drive Green, Live Green

Break free from your PCP

Salary sacrifice allows you to pay for your electric car before income tax. The same applies to servicing, tyres and motor insurance, saving you a bundle on your running costs too. What's more, there's

no deposit;
no credit check; and
no personal finance agreement.

It’s a single monthly deduction from your gross pay – before income tax and national insurance contributions. It's typically about half the cost of an equivalent PCP or personal lease. A no-brainer.
