The model
Read full Kia EV3 review
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 GT-Line is well worth a look.
The trim
Despite its keen pricing, every EV3 comes well equipped as standard. Indeed, even this entry-level Air version has heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic LED headlights, climate control, keyless entry and start and adaptive cruise control. It's our favourite trim.
The engine
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.
