Saw it today at local launch event, surprisingly big car definitely more Sportage than say Soul size. Interior space is excellent front and back with big wide opening doors. Build quality up a level from Niro with solid thud from doors on closing. Not sure that van type styling really works due to size and all the glossy black exterior plastic is iffy and may well scratch etc. Drivers seat is a bit small for tall people but controls are excellent with very high quality stalks etc. Would just like the same in a small Ev6 type sportier car.
We went to the smoke and mirrors of the launch of the ev3 at our local dealers well over a month ago. A great car. We popped back a day or so later to get a closer look and it had gone!! We were told they’d have a demonstrator in the following week. So far nothing and Insurers won’t yet quote. Is there a problem? It’s a great shame. Had we test driven it and they were available, it would be parked outside by now.
I could not find information about trunk size with seats folded (length wise). Can you please do the measurment? Would it be enough for someone who is 180cm long to sleep comfortably? Thank you!
Looks really good. I’m not really sold on that table slate thing. Surely it destroys having centra console storage? I’ll be interested to see that in person.
It's the car I would like to replace my Niro EV 4 with when the PCP is up, but at the prices announced it will by then attract the Luxury Car Tax. Kia needs to announce a new version with the Air bodywork, but with features like HUD and heated/cooled seats and steering, less unnecessary things like the relaxation seats, HK audio and Sunroof, that will come-in slightly under the Tax threshold. Also I hope that, like they did with the Niro, they drop Orange as the no-cost paint option.
Ordered mine in August got a delivery date of 25th November can’t wait !!!
Have you had a test drive?
Current Price in USD?

Excellent summary. More info in less time than the big car journalists. Well done 🎉
I had a test drive. The most noticeable thing was the exceptionally smooth and very quiet ride. Much better than EV6.
Looks great! Hope it makes it to the US with a NACS charging system and no bloody tariffs!
Good well-presented concise video and script. Any idea of price for that GT-Line?
if it helps I just looked at it here in Ireland and it's an estimated price around €48,000-€50,000 for the GT line
Thank you, we’re glad you enjoyed it 😊 the GT-Line is £39,495 with the GT-Line S just up from that at £42,995

Love the ev3, defo on my potential list of replacements for my MG4 when I replace it in the long term
Annoyingly the heat pump is standard on the top spec model but not available on the smaller battery model which is the one that needs it the most😕
I could not find information about trunk size with seats folded (length wise). Can you please do the measurment? Would it be enough for someone who is 180cm long to sleep comfortably? Thank you!
Any idea when the ev3 will be available? I have one on order and would
Love to know when I can take delivery.
Really nice reviuw, new sub here. The Hyundai/KIA/Genesis products, looks like the Nr 1 brand today imo
Awesome thank you for subscribing!
I know it can tow up to 1000kg, how do order one with a tow hitch?

Damn.. regretting ordering the ford explorer ev… wonder if I can cancel my order. That Kia looks loveky
Very good video, thanks. Still hoping it comes to the United States.
Isn't the charge flap on the wrong side of the car? If you are parked next to a kerb, the flap will be open on the road side? 🤔
The EV3 Range starts at £32,999 but the car you reviewed price is?? ........ ???

£42k
Misleading price. What’s the GT cost?
Top spec GT is £43k 😢
What's the point of a power tail gate? It takes more time.
It can be done while holding things in one's hands.
350 mile range until you turn on the radio, heater or air-con, or charge your phone then suddenly your range is now only 150 mile.
not even remotely true lmao...
