The production-spec Kia EV3 looks very similar to the previewing concept from last year, adopting modern styling cues originally introduced by the EV9 flagship. Toned-down features include the revised LED graphics on the lighting units, the slightly tweaked bumpers, the conventional mirrors, and the thicker pillars. Besides the base version, Kia also showed us the GT-Line, featuring sportier bumpers and alloy wheels.

The EV3 measures 4,300 mm (169.3 inches) long, 1,850 mm (72.8 inches) wide, and 1,560 mm (61.4 inches) tall, with a wheelbase of 2,680 mm (105.5 inches). Compared to other Kia products, the EV3 is 105 mm (4 inches) longer than the e-Soul, and 120 mm (4.7 inches) shorter than the e-Niro. This footprint places it in the heart of Europe’s B-SUV (subcompact) segment, against the likes of the Peugeot E-2008.

The Kia EV3 rides on the widely used E-GMP platform, although with a 400-Volt architecture. At launch in will be available with a single electric motor and two battery options. The standard model has a battery capacity of 58.3 kWh, while the Long Range variant upgrades to a larger 81.4 kWh unit. The latter is responsible for an estimated WLTP range figure of 600 km (373 miles) which is far more than what you get from similarly-sized EV rivals.
The single electric motor produces 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS) and 283 Nm (209 lb-ft) of torque. According to Kia, the EV3 accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 7.5 seconds and has a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph).
This is a developing story and will be updated.
