We’re excited to announce that Kia has officially confirmed the pricing and details for its latest addition to the electric vehicle lineup, the Kia EV3. This new compact SUV is set to make waves in the electric car market with its impressive features and competitive pricing. Starting at just £32,995, the first EV3 models are expected to arrive in the UK by the end of the year.
Battery Options and Range
The Kia EV3 comes with two battery size options to cater to different driving needs:
- Standard Range: Equipped with a 58.3kWh battery, offering up to 267 miles on a single charge.
- Long Range: Features an 81.4kWh battery, delivering an impressive range of up to 372 miles.
Both battery variants are powered by a robust 204PS electric motor, ensuring a smooth and powerful driving experience.
Design and Dimensions
The EV3 is built on a bespoke platform, joining the EV6 and EV9 in Kia’s all-electric lineup. It measures 4,300mm in length, 1,850mm in width, and 1,560mm in height, making it comparable in size to the VW ID3. Despite its compact dimensions, the EV3 boasts the largest luggage space in its class, with a 25-litre front trunk (frunk) and a 460-litre rear load capacity.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the EV3 draws inspiration from the interior design of its EV6 and EV9 siblings, featuring a minimalist yet premium approach. Key highlights include:
- Dual Large Screens: Positioned at the top of the dashboard for infotainment and instrumentation.
- Touch Panel: For climate control, enhancing the sleek and modern aesthetic.
- Steering Wheel Controls: Allowing easy access to drive mode, cruise control, entertainment, and navigation functions.
The EV3 is also the first model to benefit from Kia’s new i-Pedal 3.0 regenerative braking technology. This feature lets drivers adjust the level of regenerative braking to their preference, enabling one-pedal driving. This not only maximizes energy efficiency but also reduces fatigue on long drives, making the journey more enjoyable and comfortable.
Trim Levels and Features
The EV3 is available in three trim levels, each offering a range of features to suit different preferences and needs:
- Air: The entry-level model available with either battery pack, featuring 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated front seats and steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitor, and a rear-view camera.
- GT Line: Available only with the larger battery, this trim adds sportier exterior styling and 19-inch wheels.
- GT-Line S: The top-of-the-line model includes a sunroof, electrically adjustable and ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera system, a Harman Kardon sound system, an electric tailgate, and a head-up display.
