Kia is expanding its series of electric vehicles, and has finally started rolling out its low-cost electric vehicle, the Kia EV3.
Kia is on a roll. Hot on the heels of the success of the Kia EV6 and EV9, the company is now expanding its lineup even further, with the new EV3.
On the front of the car, you’ll find what is now a typical Kia look, with the slim headlights that curve around the sides of the front of the car and the Kia logo emblazoned on the hood. The trunk is slightly curved again, with tall rear taillights that stretch down the back. It’s good look, and follows Kia’s overall design, making for a more consistent lineup.
Kia EV3 interior The interior of the Kia EV3 offers a bright and modern look, with a dual display panel that stretches along the front of the car and few physical controls to speak of. It looks similar to Kia’s other electric cars — with a large infotainment display next to a large digital instrument display. Like other Kia vehicles, the EV3 offers wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
Indeed, Kia is expected to bring the EV3 to the U.S. at some point in 2025, though likely toward the end of the year as a 2026 model. In fact, camouflaged EV3s have been spotted on U.S. streets as Kia conducts testing for a U.S. model. Unfortunately, the Kia EV3 doesn’t have the same 800-volt architecture that more expensive Kia electric vehicles offer. That means that the charging speed is slower, and the EV3 can charge from 10% to 80% in 31 minutes. That’s still not terrible, but it’s a far cry from being able to fully charge in under 20 minutes like you can with the Kia EV6.
