It is believed the young girl had been playing with another child inside the vehicle at the time of the fire.
The second child managed to escape the car unharmed.
It was only when fire authorities worked to extinguish the flames that the body of the two-year-old was discovered inside.
The little girl was believed to have been played outside her home in Kununurra, in the state's far north, when the car caught fire. (9News) 9News
The exact cause of the blaze remains unknown. Detectives from Perth have since travelled to Kununurra to aid in the investigation of the incident.
Early investigations, however, have led police to treat it as non-suspicious and they are calling for witnesses.
