Kia’s electric SUV offers it all: more than enough driving range, a practical interior, and modern tech at an affordable price. The Kia EV3 is a hit in Europe, the UK, and several other parts of the world, and it will finally go on sale in the US soon.

After the EV3 went on sale in Europe in late 2024, the compact electric SUV quickly became one of the most popular electric vehicles, offering a segment-leading range of up to 375 miles and an affordable price starting at around 36,000 euros ($$42,000).

In its first year, the EV3 was the third top-selling EV in the UK, behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3, and ranked 10th in Europe.

Through the first few months of 2026, it remains one of the most popular EVs in several regions, including Germany, the heart of Europe’s auto market.
