All-Electric 2027 Kia EV3 Coming to America Later This Year

After first launching in European and Korean markets, the all-electric subcompact Kia EV3 is finally arriving in the US later this year.

Though 15 inches shorter than the Kia EV6, the EV3 retains comparable interior volume due to its taller roof and more upright stance.

The EV3's fascia draws inspiration from the automaker's flagship Kia EV9.

Two battery options will be available -- 58.3 kWh or 81.4 kWh -- offering between 220 and 320 estimated miles of range.

Both front and all-wheel drive configuration will be available with the 288-horsepower EV3 GT topping the line.

The Tesla Supercharger-compatible NACS charging port is standard on EV3 in the States. A 10% to 80% DC fast charge is expected to take around 30 minutes.

The EV3 rides on a 400-volt variant of Hyundai Motor Group's E-GMP electric architecture -- as opposed to the 800-volt system in the larger models. This cost-saving measure explains the somewhat slower charging times.
