Kia EV3
Coming soon: Kia EV3 promises to be affordable and just as cool as the EV9.
Kia is about to put the smallest member of its EV-badged lineup on sale, with the EV3 joining the range alongside the big EV6 and bigger EV9. It’s a compact electric crossover, and a rival to the likes of Ford’s upcoming electric Puma, the Jeep Avenger and the Fiat 600e. It should be one of the more affordable EV models around. Inside, there’s a gorgeous cabin made largely from recycled materials featuring neat fold-out tables. There will be two battery pack sizes - 56kWh and 79KWh - with the largest capable of a range of up to 560km. Sadly, the EV3 won’t get the ultra-fast 800-volt charging of the bigger EV6 and EV9, however.
