Kia has officially launched the EV3, with the first units set to arrive in UK showrooms on August 1st. This all-electric crossover is available in three distinct trim levels, each offering a compelling blend of range, performance, and technology.
The entry-level Air model starts at £32,995 and comes equipped with a 58.3 kWh battery, providing a driving range of 267 miles. For those seeking extended autonomy, a larger 81.4 kWh battery is optional, boosting the range to 372 miles.
The sportier GT-Line and top-tier GT-Line S exclusively feature a larger battery pack and deliver a 347-mile range. Underpinning all variants is a powerful electric motor producing 201 hp, ensuring brisk acceleration.
The EV3’s cabin is characterized by a driver-focused layout featuring a trio of high-resolution displays for infotainment, instrumentation, and climate control. A suite of advanced driver assistance systems, wireless smartphone integration, and a comfortable interior further enhance the driving experience.
The Kia EV3 lineup offers a range of options to cater to diverse preferences. The GT-Line trim infuses a sporty character with LED headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, and sleek exterior accents.
Inside, it raises the ambiance with features like a digital key, customizable ambient lighting, and wireless charging convenience.
For those seeking an even more luxurious experience, the GT-Line S trim delivers a panoramic sunroof, premium ventilated front seats, a head-up display for essential information projection, and an immersive Harman Kardon sound system.
While the EV3 is poised to make its US debut with anticipated pricing between $30,000 and $35,000, it’s likely to share the same potent front motor as its global counterparts, promising a spirited performance with a top speed of 106 mph and a 0-62 mph sprint in 7.5 seconds.
