Kia EV3

Kia EV3

The Kia EV3 looks like a shrunken EV9 and is priced to sell in big numbers.

Kia’s EV3 could be one of the new generation of electric models that kick-starts the electric revolution in Ireland. It’s available at a temptingly affordable price point, with two battery options that offer ranges from the perfectly acceptable to the genuinely long-legged, and it has cool styling plus a roomy and high-tech interior. Seriously, what’s not to like?
