What is the Kia EV3?
The EV3 is a compact electric SUV, bringing Kia’s dedicated EV approach to a smaller body. It pairs the familiar practicality of an SUV with Kia’s “Opposites United” design philosophy. Kia drew on ideas from the larger EV9 for the EV3’s design and technology.
The EV3 is part of Kia’s electric line-up, rather than a petrol or hybrid model. Its compact SUV format offers a smaller footprint than a large family SUV, with electric power.
EV3 generation
The EV3 has one generation: the first, introduced in 2024 and continuing today. Kia presented it as a compact electric crossover, extending its dedicated EV design language into a smaller class.
Power and official figures
All listed EV3 versions are electric. EU figures give a power range of 50 kW (68 PS) to 150 kW (204 PS), while the UK range is 150–204 kW (204–277 PS). The US figures begin with the 2027 model year, but no power range is listed for that market. As a battery-powered SUV, the EV3 has no engine size.
Electric cars do not have petrol-style fuel consumption in L/100 km. Official efficiency, range and emissions figures depend on the market’s test procedure: Europe uses WLTP or NEDC for older figures, the US uses EPA testing, and Canada uses the 5-cycle procedure.
Where was the EV3 sold?
The EV3 appears in EU registration figures for 2024–2025, UK figures for 2024–2026 and US figures for 2027. EU registrations show the 150 kW (204 PS) electric version as the leading configuration in both listed years.
