    Bit of a shame, if you want a 360 degree camera, heat pump and lumbar support, you need to get the top spec car for £45k, with bells and whistles I don’t want like heated rear seats. Ideally the 360 degree camera should be an option on all models, it’s super useful around town.

      Isn't that the point ? They put features that are desirable to make you buy the higher spec models. The entry price is always the stripper, designed to advertise a low price and get you into the shop, and then the salesman will upsell you to a more expensive model. Been happening since the dawn of time...

    A bit of a niche question but does this have enough space for two adults to sleep in the back with the back seats folded? Tesla Model Y is much bigger and has ample space for that, but so does the Model 3 even though it's a sedan. Kia/Hyundai are one of the few manufacturers that fit a similar feature to Tesla's Camping mode in their car (Utility mode) so they would be a great option for us who love to do road trips and sleep their nights in the car.

      Check out EV database. It's the best UK range resource out there. It tells you that real range of the bigger battery version at motorway speed is 200 miles cold weather and 260 miles hot weather. That 60 mile gap could probably be halved if the car had a heat pump as standard. The results are about as good as you can get from such a blocky shaped car. You can check them against any other vehicle sold in the UK such as the Niro EV which gets 170miles and 220 miles respectively.

On that occasion it made wltp. On another trip in the summer without roofbox ( still 4 occupants and full boot ) of similar length I have exceeded wltp by about 5%. I would certainly get or exceed 375 miles for a good few months of the year in an EV3 bigger battery version, irrespective of what anyone else, professional motoring journalist / tester or otherwise could manage to get.

      That's a normal price for normal people now. I don't think you understand how much cars cost. A ford fiesta is also 30k. A golf is 40k. Unless everyone owns a dacia you won't be happy

    In mi humble opinion EV’s are still too expensive. Good that at the start of this film EV3 was compared to VW Golf. Let’s talk money then. Base KIA is £33.000 base VW Golf is £27.490. At ease it does 50mpg I know because I have one. (Pre facelift 1.5 130ps) Golf offers everything that a normal person needs. Maybe it’s bit smaller inside but it’s still gold standard for practical family hatchback. Situation for KIA is even worse in Poland where I currently live. Here Golf starts at £22.500 at this same level of equipment as in UK and KIA starts at £32.500.

    Given the infrastructure in the UK, most EV owners probably own / rent a house with a drive, even if EVs were cheaper many people in the UK would struggle to recharge then conveniently on a regular basis, this to me is a bigger problem than price.

    If you can't stretch to this, then consider a 2nd hand eNiro 4+. 270 mile range, a battery that shows only 3% degredation after 100k miles. A bulletproof car for around £16k current market prices. No brainer.
