The model
Read full Kia EV3 reviewThe Kia EV3 has an impressive range between charges, a comfortable ride, a low price tag and high equipment levels, making it a seriously strong contender in the electric SUV class. If you do buy one, we recommend going for entry-level Air trim and, if you have the budget, the Long Range battery. Even the Standard Range models has a great range.
The trim
See full equipmentDespite its keen pricing, every EV3 comes really well equipped as standard. Indeed, even this entry-level Air version comes with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic LED headlights, automatic air conditioning, keyless entry and start, cruise control and lots of other kit. It's our recommended trim.
The engine
See full engine specsWhichever battery option you go for, the EV3 comes with the same electric motor. It develops 201bhp and powers the front wheels. Pace is very impressive, covering 0-62mph in 7.5sec, or 7.7sec in the bigger battery versions.
