The Kia EV3: Amazing Potential in a Smaller Package

Kia is dominating the electric vehicle market recently, and the brand-new, upcoming fast-charging Kia EV3 is no exception.

EV3 External Specs

The Kia EV3 fits somewhere between a subcompact and compact SUV, a crossover in concept that packs as many features as possible in a smaller package. This FWD, 5-passenger, 4-door SUV will offer a 201 hp motor and 81.4 kWh, fast-charging battery with an estimated range of 300 all-electric miles. That’s enough power and speed for a reasonable 0-62 mph acceleration in 8 seconds on-track estimate. The EV3 will also be their first car to use Kia’s new iPedal 3.0 tech, letting you change the aggressiveness of regenerative braking during one-pedal driving.

Interior

A boxy exterior can only mean one thing: plenty of space inside. The Kia EV3’s cabin allows you the freedom to spread out despite the raised floor height. On the dash, a 30-inch driver information cluster and infotainment screen show you everything from climate and volume controls to speed and mileage, all powered by the same ccNC operating system and an AI voice assistant. The vehicle will also have electric capabilities outside of driving like powering small appliances – which will be useful on adventures.

The EV3 also takes eco-friendliness and sustainability to the next level through a sugar-cane-based dashboard, recycled polyester (polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in the carpet and headliners, and exterior panels made from recycled Kia parts!

How to Get the New Kia EV3

Regrettably, a bit of patience is required before the arrival of one of the most distinctive small EV SUVs in the US market. The EV3 is set to debut in Korea in July 2024, with plans for subsequent expansion into North American and European markets. While EV3s are expected to become available for orders sooner, they’re projected to officially hit the market in early 2026. With an estimated starting price of $35,000, the anticipation surrounding the EV3 comes as no surprise.
