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 equipmentMid-spec GT-Line adds larger 19in alloy wheels, sportier styling, automatic flush door handles, wireless phone-charging, rear privacy glass and electrically adjustable driver lumbar support. None of the upgrades are hugely essentials.
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.
