Kia may not be as flashy as Tesla, but they have been quietly making waves in the electric car market since 2018. Back then, they launched the Kia Eero, one of the first electric cars with a long range at an affordable price. Since then, Kia has continued to innovate and improve their electric car lineup, with models like the ev6 and ev9.
Now, Kia is set to launch their newest and most affordable electric SUV, the Kia EV3. This compact SUV is positioned below the ev6 and ev9 in Kia’s lineup, offering a more budget-friendly option for electric car buyers. The EV3 promises impressive range and practicality, making it a strong contender in the small electric SUV market.
The EV3 features a sleek and modern design, with styling cues borrowed from the concept car that previewed it. Inside, the cabin is well-appointed with high-quality materials and a range of tech features, including a fully digital driver display and touchscreen infotainment system. While some may find the climate control touchscreen a bit cumbersome, overall the interior is comfortable and spacious.
In terms of practicality, the EV3 offers ample legroom and a generous amount of cargo space, making it a great option for families or those who need extra storage. The EV3 will be available with two different battery options, offering impressive range and fast charging capabilities.
With an expected starting price of around £32,500, the Kia EV3 is poised to be a strong competitor in the electric SUV market. With its combination of range, affordability, and practicality, the EV3 is definitely a small electric SUV to keep an eye on. Kia may not be in the headlines as much as Tesla, but they are certainly making a name for themselves in the world of electric cars.
