We're getting a first in-person look at the Kia EV3 electric car at the Busan International Mobility Show in South Korea. Looking like a close competitor to the Volvo EX30, this compact EV SUV looks like it could be the affordable electric vehicle the market needs. But, how is the quality in person, are the specs promising, and importantly... can you fit in the back seat?

Hyundai Kia are low key dominating the non-Tesla EV market. Glad they targeted the Model Y. I’ve driven the EV9 and was absolutely impressed. Huge, spacious and comfortable.

@nabieladrian Месяц назад

It's almost perfect. Really feels like a real car not EV spaceships.

@Calipeixegato Месяц назад

Nice! A sub-$30K EV that with a range of about 300-ish miles? YES! Mother Earth needs more of this!

@farcinue Месяц назад

Keep it close to $30k and it’s our next car! Living in LA, this would be a perfect commuter and errand car. I’m glad to see that manufacturers are starting to think about us working peasants with their EV offerings.

@jdillon8360 Месяц назад

I like it. I very much like that there are a lot of "real" buttons for audio and climate, so using the touch screen is not the only option.

@rokko_hates_japan 22 дня назад

It looks like they're using a lot of capacitive buttons. Whoever decided to put that in a car, should be fired, along with everyone who signed off on it. Capacitive buttons are horrendous on a TV, but in a car it's the dumbest idea ever.

@ALMX5DP Месяц назад

Whoa, it looks kinda chunky still but sounds properly compact. Quite refreshing to see more in that size segment versus the larger offerings of today. Lower that by an inch or two and I’d love to have that as a daily (well if the EX30 comes out first might choose that as I like that aesthetic more).

@EVPulse Месяц назад

With EX30 being delayed in the U.S. until it can handle production in Ghent for our market, the EV3 might get here first.

@CellPhonzRockEnterprises Месяц назад

It sounds like Kia has answered our prayers; bringing us more affordable EVs.

It will be a best-seller for Kia.

@EM.1. Месяц назад

Craig, this will come to the US via the Monterrey Mexico plant. A GT model will power both wheels with the most power. Less expensive models will be GT Line and Base.

@macmanmpls Месяц назад

This vehicle NEEDS to come to the US. This and the Hyundai Inster.

EV3 will for sure come here. Inster probably won't.

@ChrisPavlides Месяц назад

why everyone says 30k (euro or usd) when this car in Korea costs around 37.000€ ? There is a video with this car in Korea with a label on it, with the price in KRW. It says 5.020.000 KRW. Anyway, i hope it will come to europe with a starting price at 30k, if so, there is a possibility for this one, to become an EV of the year. Enough with those overprices EV's out there. Batterie's price dropped, but EV's prices keeps standing at the top.

@EVPulse Месяц назад

Assembly is expected to be in Mexico for the U.S. version which will also allow for the cash incentive on the hood at point of sale.

@user-gb3vl7wi4s Месяц назад

EV3 price starts at 42000000KRW(around 30000USD) in korea

@jalebisingh9886 12 дней назад

Honestly I will believe its 30K once its out. Not saying it isn't possible, but car companies tend to hype with "targeted" price points. If its 30K, I will get one.

@kiskis0611 Месяц назад

nice have E niro if someone like golf handling will like this car gives simulare vibes and EV3 looks more compact and ligher should be better

Why kia does not use LFP battery for EV3? it looks perfect except NMC battery.

@2000jalebi 29 дней назад

Probably china regulations. It will prob get $7500 us rebate

@Gimlet6051 24 дня назад

LFP battery sucks in terms of its density, performance, charging speed and weight as well. Did you ever see any expensive ev adopted LFP battery? NCM battery is definitely more advanced technology if you ever study battery technology.

24 дня назад

@@Gimlet6051 High energy density means better acceleration performance. However, the LFP battery is superior to the NMC battery in energy storage. In simple terms, NMC batteries have good performance but poor battery life, and LFP batteries have poor performance but good battery life. NMC batteries can achieve 1000 - 2000 charge-discharge cycles, while LFP batteries typically deliver 3,000 cycles or more. The higher cycle life means that LFP batteries will last longer, leading to reduced operational costs over the battery's lifespan.

@rockroll575 "Maybe 60k in Canada !" I think it will be cheaper, but depends on the trim. I'm going to take a stupid guess and say $45,000 for top trim.

@rokko_hates_japan 22 дня назад

USA, EU, and Japanese automakers have been sleeping for far too long. Hard to believe Kia is more desireable now. But here we are. I actually really like the style of the old Leaf. Too bad they never made one with decent range. Now, who will bring an ev van to market? Vans are the most practical vehicle, and nobody is making them.
