The 2027 Kia EV3 arrives this fall in Quebec

What to expect from the 2027 Kia EV3

The all-new Kia EV3 is an urban all-electric SUV with aerodynamic styling, a sloping roofline, a concealed radiator grille, slim headlamps and new taillights that extend down onto the sides. It is sure to impress with its two-tone colours and modern rear window.

The cabin holds many surprises. It will be spacious, comfortable and technologically advanced, drawing inspiration from the highest grade of Kia electric products.

On the dashboard sits a gigantic display of about 30 inches. This setup includes two 12.3-inch displays, plus a smaller screen for heating and air-conditioning functions.

The centre console is not only floating, it is also generously sized. You will have plenty of room to store small items.

Finally, rear passengers will benefit from reclining seats for an extra layer of comfort on long weekend drives.

In short, the 2027 Kia EV3 electric subcompact SUV offers an attractive design and a comfortable, well laid out interior. Eco-conscious drivers and young families will enjoy getting on board.

EV3: range and performance

Built on a 400-volt E-GMP architecture, the Kia EV3 offers two lithium-ion batteries. You will be able to choose the 58.3-kWh pack or the 81.4-kWh pack.

With the smaller battery, Kia announces a real-world range of 354 km. With the larger battery, you can travel up to 514 km. This figure is impressive and shows that the EV3 can compete easily with its main segment rivals. In this regard, it outpaces the Hyundai Kona EV (420 km) and the Nissan Leaf (488 km), to name just two examples.

Kia also announces a 10 to 80 % charge time of 29 minutes on a 400 V DC fast charger.

Performance varies depending on whether it is a front-wheel drive EV3 or an all-wheel drive EV3.

Front-wheel drive versions develop 201 horsepower, while the dual-motor setup produces 261 horsepower, or 288 horsepower if you choose the GT version.

Why the EV3 will pressure the competition

While other automakers have eased off on electrification, Kia is launching an urban all-electric SUV that will satisfy many at a time when gas prices keep rising.

With the performance noted, the EV3's efficient range, comfortable cabin and advanced technologies, the electric subcompact SUV is well positioned in the market.

As seen, its range is higher than that of the Hyundai Kona, the Nissan Leaf and even the new Toyota C-HR (500 km) and the Subaru Uncharted.

There is no doubt that the 2027 Kia EV3 will challenge the competition, especially since it is very agile, versatile with a cargo area that can reach 740 litres, and powerful with its two electric motors and all-wheel drive, ideal for the winter months. In addition, it is said to be economical to buy or lease. If you want a larger size vehicle form Kia’s electric family, take a look at the Kia EV5.
