Take care
In the UK, £44k seems too high for the GT Line S, that's EV6 money. I think £33k for the 58kwh Air will be much h more popular, that's all you should need in a car this size.
Great price? What? Where?
Can't wait for it to be available in the US!
An actual interesting car. FWD smallish size, reasonable battery size.
I preferred the simple - you 'get everything' spec of the early Hyundai Ioniq.
With this if you want a heat pump you have to get a big battery high-spec car with big wheels? No smaller battery - that would benefit from having it - option. That's very poor.
Glad I don't care for SUVs. This will be another car to ignore.
Great/good/reasonable price? 😮 it was supposed to be low to mid and high 30k eur!! 😅
Omg that is nowhere near cheap car cuz you need many extras.
I think it is not a pretty var from the outside but since I am usually driving it from the inside and I love its interieur, I really like it.
What I find terribly stupid that when you order the GT line package, you loose many miles in range while having a car that is louder because of these 19 inch wheels. If that car could go 150 mph or more that would make some sense here in Germany, but it is cut off around 100 mph so what is the point of having a louder less comfortable car while having less range? You will never drive fast with it anyway and if you are like me and don't want to be bothered much with driving, you will use the HDA anyway and that keeps you at a max of 130kmh (around 80mph) and here you want silence, comfort and not be bothered. I like that fact that it has a capacitive steering wheel sensor, so you just need to have your hand on it, without having to to push it left or right for the annoying "hands on steering wheel" message to disappear.
I would go for the earth with heat pump and that's it.
By the way I thought car2x would an automatic bidirectional vehicle to load, but it turns out to be an emergency communication system that will send out a crash signal to others or receive a crash signal from other cars to you are being slowed down instantly ... it also is supposed to communicate with traffic lights and I like that concept. Though I have been reading that the manufacturers are fighting with incompatibilities ... I don't know why some European or Worldwide consortium with actual specialists with no lobby connections doesn't step in and clearly defines binding standards - end of discussion!
Chris men,you forgot to mention about charge...ac charge up to 22 in all the options or only in the gt line??
Seems like leasing starts from 349 € in Germany.
The car is decent, but 46k is not a decent price for this car.
Compared to the much louder Niro EV it definitely is a good price.
I would say it's definitely a decent price. Depending on personal preference it might not be for everyone and not amazing price, but saying that it's not even decent sounds wrong.
@@tkermi 3 years ago a segment B car like this could cost 25k in its medium configuration. Litium has reduced its price and EVs have less mechanic part. There's no reason to cost 45k except the ambition of manufacturers to gain more and more and the stupidity of people who are ready to pay the price they request thinking it's a decent price.
@@P_R_379 lol, I wasn't quite that ambitious and seeking the betterment of the World there. Just comparing to today's market.
So what car brings better value and also warranty if you want all the same bells and whistles and the range?
Great value? Tesla: hold my beer.
10k to expensive. EX30 will be hard to beat in Sweden.
Terracotta looks like Dacia Duster.
EX30 doesn't attract Kia customers who want a real cockpit and physical button on top of many big screens. But agree that its not a pretty car at all, but is interieur rocks.
@@n1vcaYou will be surprised how strong Volvo brand is in Sweden. And so will Kia if EV3 isn’t priced lower.
@@The_Observer72 Here in Germany the EV3 starts at a lower price than the EX30. I agree with you that the Volvo is great car at a good price point, especially for those who like power and AWD, but you have to like its interieur and the fact that its efficiency isn't anywhere near the Niro EV or EV3. I have high respect for Volvo for that fact that just, like the Korean cars, they use recycled material that will also later be easy to recycle. For people who are not much into range and love to accelerate real fast and then break real hard, the Volvo is better a choice. 🤣
@@n1vca It’s kind of more like “Swedes buy Volvo”. Period 😊
50 grand to expensive for big battery and 30 minutes 10-80 is slow when You have 800 volt ev’s that charge that in 15 minutes
Just wait for smart #5 💪
Which 800V vehicle for 42k€ with ~80kWh is able to charge 10 - 80% in 15minutes ?
@@Dqtube xpeng g6
@@danielstefanovic2604 This brand talks about a 20-80% charge cycle in their specs and there is no information about pricing on their German site. On their Danish website they quote 10 -80% in 20 minutes and a price of 49,5k€ for the +80kWh configuration. So what is your source of information ?
@@danielstefanovic2604 Even 66kWH LFP battery version is priced 43 900Euro in DE
Way too expensive. They need to get this under 30K or flop
It could be a great car but definitely too expensive.
How much do you pay for another car with such a range if you want a real cockpit and physical buttons (excluding Tesla and Volvo)? That is not bad at all.
@@n1vca I'd expect the EV3 to be a lower-end car, on par with Kia ceed or so, as the name would suggest. I don't need million fancy features. I have yet to see an affordable EV outside of China and similar markets.
I have to wait 3 years four buy it cheaper...
To expensive and looks rather plastic. Few fun colors.
So stupid, in the Netherlands, the basic car is 1000 euro more expensive... why??????
And..... in the Netherlands, there are 5 versions. You show only 3. In the Netherlands, there are the Air (same as here), the Plus (Earth), Plus Advanced (not shown here), the GT-Line and the GTLinePlus (Not shown here) The most expensive version in the Netherlands is 49.195 euro with all you can get. So, strangely cheaper than in Germany.
FWD = nope
Great price? What? Where?
An actual interesting car. FWD smallish size, reasonable battery size.

Late 2025 or 2026 coming from Mexico. Kia has delusional plans to make 110,000+of them just from that plant for the n.a. market. 😅
Except for that entire segment of cars is 800,000-1,100,000 total unit's here in the U.S. annually across ALL model's&trims sold.
In the UK, £44k seems too high for the GT Line S, that's EV6 money. I think £33k for the 58kwh Air will be much h more popular, that's all you should need in a car this size.
