Find your perfect EV3

Cars available now

The Kia EV3 has an impressive range between charges, a comfortable ride, a competitive entry price and plenty of standard kit. In short, it's a brilliant small SUV. Our favourite version is the entry-level Standard Range Air, but if you need to reliably travel more than 200 miles between charges, the Long Range is well worth a look.

The top-of-the-range GT-Line S gets an upgraded eight-speaker Harman Kardon stereo system, a customisable head-up display, electrically adjustable heated (and ventilated) front seats, heated outer rear seats and a powered tailgate. It’s too pricey to recommend, though.

Whichever battery option you go for, the EV3 comes with the same 201bhp electric motor. It delivers decent acceleration, with 0-62mph taking around 7.5 seconds.
