A new budget Kia electric car is expected to debut this summer. Kia will unveil the EV3 later this year, with a sporty GT Line trim.
After unveiling the concept at its first annual EV Day in October, Kia’s EV3 will be a reality in 2024.
The concept looks like a mangled edition of Kia’s three-row EV9 SUV, exactly as Kia had planned. The Kia EV3 takes the complex technology, practicality and design of the EV9 and brings them together in a more compact package.
You can see the brand’s new ‘Opposites United’ design, with a reimagined ‘Tiger Face’ grille and heavy-duty wheel arches.
The interior features plant-based fabrics to complement the slightly minimalist atmosphere. While the concept is presented with a giant screen for driver demonstration and infotainment, the production edition is expected to include Kia’s next-generation ccNC infotainment system.
Prototypes of the new electric vehicle are seen in wild testing as the EV3 nears its debut. A video from ShortsCar gives us a glimpse of the new EV as it passes.
The EV3 is expected to be similar to the Volvo EX30 and Hyundai Kona, approximately 170″ long, 72″ wide and 62″ tall.
Kia’s EV3 will launch a new series of cheap electric cars, EV2, EV3, EV4 and EV5, priced between $25,000 and $50,000. It is expected to debut in July 2024 for less than $30,000.
That’s good news, and it’s also why Tesla will regret not focusing on the Model 2 first than the robotaxi. After a terrible quarter where demand wasn’t keeping up with supply, deciding to put your more affordable vehicle on the back burner probably wouldn’t be enough. any favors. The festival will also benefit. Many are interested in electric vehicles, but don’t have more than $50,000 to seamlessly invest in a vehicle, so we congratulate Kia on launching it.
According to TheKoreanCarBlog, a sporty edition of the Kia EV3 GT Line is also expected to be released. The GT Line styling was first spotted via Korean channel HealerTV, sporting a redesigned front bumper and competitive design lines.
The new series of electric vehicles will complete the Kia range with electric cars covering maximum segments, from EV2 to EV9. Prices are expected to range from $25,000 to more than $80,000.
Although Kia recently announced that it will introduce more hybrid cars to its lineup, the automaker is committed to offering electric cars, with the EV3 expected to launch this year and the EV4 to stick around in 2025.
Kia has already unveiled its smallest EV5 SUV in China, for around $20,000 (149,800 yuan). In Australia, it will cost around $46,000 (AU$70,000).
