Meet the all-new Kia EV3!
Following on from the successful launch of the Kia EV6 and EV9, it’s time for Mat to get his hands on Kia’s all-new mid-sized SUV. Unlike the EV6 & EV9, the EV3 comes with a pretty low price point, starting at just £33,000!
But does it offer enough to lure you away from competitors like the E-2008 & Volvo EX30? Let’s take a closer look…
In terms of the design, it’s most certainly a head-turner! It’s upright and quite square, with Kia’s distinctive vertical headlight design and plenty of glossy black trim. It may not be as intimidating as the impressive EV9, but it certainly impresses from the outside.
On the inside, it’s more of the same! There’s a set of digital dials as well as an intuitive infotainment screen on the centre of the dash, and the cabin is filled with soft touch and good quality materials. The seats may not be the most figure-hugging and supportive, but they’re still relatively comfortable.
The entry-level EV3 has a 58kWh battery, while all other editions are equipped with an 81kWh. Those with the larger battery have a claimed range of up to 375 miles, which is certainly more impressive than many of its key rivals!
The question is, would Mat choose the EV3 over the Carwow 2024 Car of the Year - the Volvo EX30? You’ll need to keep watching to see for yourself!
