$30K price range is all they need to nail. Waiting for this one in Indonesia. Edit: Extra appreciation to you for diving into deep detail even down to that hidden SD card slot! 👏🏻
Small battery pack though at that price, short driving range&slow for a 2025 model year ev charging speeds due to 400v charging. Basically a city car in basic trim. Not much better than a 2023 chevbolt euv was. Bet like the much ballyhooed ex30 the decent spec loaded awd ones will all be in the 40-45k price range. Esp outside of Korea. I also bet the real world driving ranges aren't as good as Kia claims either. But more affordable ev options are needed so good luck Kia! 🤔
Thank you for NOT showing the just the GT-Line, as most do. My family all own Kia's and we are looking at the EV3 and EV9. Keep up the the great reviews!!!
Thanks for the deep dive, man! Proud 2nd Gen Soul owner here- and I’m really excited to make the leap to electric in a few years with one of these babies!
A GT variant will likely have it according to reports. The also made mention that the US version (made in US or most likely Monterra Mexico) will have different equipment or trims compared to the ones from Korean and elsewhere. Also that fact that it will be made locally the prices will be amazing.
@@Carfan678 That was my understanding, but it’s good to have it confirmed. My point was really about my hope that they come out with AWD. I think it will sell well as I don’t think there is much competition for a small AWD, especially with the battery size of the EV 3. I think the Volvo EX 30 will be similar in size, but it probably more expensive and more minimalist and has a smaller battery. What I’d really like is an EV 5 but I know that’s not supposed to come any time soon. It will probably do well either way as it I think buyers will like the boxy shape and styling, as long as the price is appropriate.
@@Molishious From a Germans point of view i agree. AWD (or RWD) is a must have. I´m driving an eSoul64 at the moment and will never buy a FWD BEV again. So if Kia doesn´t offer an AWD/RWD, i will choose EX30, #1 or ZeekrX.
Best review so far. As for colors, the Kia website shows 3 colors: sea foam green-almost white, rust orange and grayish blue. if you want that rental vehicle look, the non-colors are hearse black, battleship gray, and 3 shades of refrigerator white.
damn what a review dude! watched the whole 40minute of it and didn't feel that long cause it was so engaging! amazing features on this new banger from kia. thanks for the hard work!!
After 7 years of driving a BMW i3, I sold it and leased an Ioniq 5. Although the Ioniq 5 is an amazing vehicle, and I’ve been spoiled by driving it, it’s more EV than I need. I miss the size and sportiness of the BMW. The BMW i3 was the perfect size for an around town EV. My lease is up in early 2026. I hope this is available by then.
@@JohnSmith-uz3dt I've had my i3 for 7 years also, and while it's got some serious flaws, there's nothing else quite like it -- my favorite car ever. I don't expect to ever find another EV to fully replace it, but the EV3, Volvo EX30, and Mini Aceman are on my shortlist.
The EV3 was clearly inspired by the i3. From the back quarter window to the rear it's especially obvious. I love my i3, but at 10 years old now, it's starting to have range issues. I'd love to hold out for this to sell in the US, but I'm not sure I can wait that long unfortunately.
Only if you havent seen the hyundai Kasper (Insta in europe) whichhas also this door latches Should come from citroen or Renault we had cars before with this lever high uprear doors
Really nice job from Kia and this car could be a game changer here in North America if cleverly priced. Just hope Kia will offer vibrant pallets of colors for interior and exterior. Great video.
Thanks🙌The price is utmost important factor when it comes to EVs proven by everyone's interests in EV3 and other affordable EVs. Sure do hope Kia North America won't miss this great opportunity.
As much as I really wanted to cover that very car, it was boiling hot that day. Maybe I get to meet the car at mobility show I will cover the car once again.
상당히 꼼꼼하게 설명해주셔서 잘 보았습니다. 차량 사전 계약한 상태고 프리뷰 행사도 참석해서 보고왔는데 제가 놓치는 부분이 꽤 많다는걸 느꼈고 준비 많이 하셨다는게 와 닿았습니다. 이제 1~2주내로 받지 않을까 싶은데 말씀하신 부분들 잘 보고 타도록 하겠습니다. 리뷰 잘 봤습니다. 감사합니다. 번창하세요. 참. 그리고 자막은 자동번역인거 같긴 한데 이것도 수준이 많이 올라왔네요.ㅎㅎ
계약 축하드려요! 정말 탐나고 갖고 싶은 차량인데, 저는 주거 환경 탓에 전기차 운용이 어려워 매번 아쉽기만 합니다. 그중에서도 EV3는 진짜 정말 탐나더라고요. 영어 스크립트는 제가 직접 전부 검수하고 그걸 자동번역해서 자막을 달고 있기는 한데 정말 많이 좋아졌죠 ㅎㅎ 예전엔 쓰기 민망한 수준이었는데 말이죠. 앞으로 한국음성 기능도 유튜브에서 열어준다면(극소수 유튜브 채널만 현재 베타 테스트 중 ㅠㅠ) AI를 이용해서 한국어 음성으로도 들으실 수 있을 것 같습니다! 따뜻한 댓글 감사드리고 EV3 축하드려요!
Wow. What a great video. And what a great car. My Audi Q4 e-tron 45 quattro leasing ends in Sept. 26 and I don't really need a car of that size. The EV3 will probably be the successor. Greetings from Germany.
@@CarSceneKorea thank you, but to be honest it is the long drive video with a fully loaded model that is the most interesting to see. This is the video that can help decide if EV3 GT-line is the one 😉
@@CarSceneKorea Thank you, look's like engineers forgot to deliver amazing solution for EV 3 fold front seats. It's a pity that auto makers focusing only on SUV's. Missing affordable estate EV cars.
@@CarSceneKorea I heard that the EV3 and EV9 should have the same CCNC System. So technically should be no problem to update. I hope that Kia will also update their flagship model.
Great review. Your English is nearly perfect. Far better than my Korean anyway! I’m due to get my first EV in October. I am torn between an EV6, EV9, Ioniq 5, Inster/Casper & EV3. I need to drive each of them. Your reviews are a big help. Thank you!
I saw many RUclipsrs reviewed the GT lines so that’s the reason why I focused on a regular model although I included the GT line at the end of the video too!
Sorry, asked my question right at the start of the video, so hopefully this isn't already covered... The car is on the E-GMP 400v architecture, right? Can you get a bidirectional charger in Korea? Assuming yes, how much is it?? Thx
I cannot recall those two cars atm, but being able to tuck my feet underneath the driver seat felt like I have a HUGE leg room. You know what I mean if you've been there 😉
Great video thanks. I'm in the UK and have a dog. What is your view of boot size for a medium size dog. Currently we have a 2019 Kona ev and boot rather small.
Won’t be much different, but the biggest downside will be the tiny rear glass compared to Kona. If you have your doggo sitting on the second row, it tilts a lot, windows go down all the way, quite roomy for the cars segment I’d say.
At the Kia website they have 3 colors, sea foam green-almost white, rust orange and grayish blue. if you want that rental vehicle look, the non-colors are hearse black, battleship gray, and 3 shades of refrigerator white.
Apart from the actual road test. I do hope they got the memo to tone down the stupid safety tech! Like false readings on the speed limit and driver's attention, both are very annoying on newer cars!
I don't like the look of the Kona. This EV3 looks so much better to me. Very good space with a length of only 4.30m. I saw the EV9 in person. It almost scared me... I hope the AWD will not impact the boot space.
There seems to be polarization in how people prefer the looks of equivalent Hyundais or Kias. A lot of people liked the look of the Ioniq 5, but I think the EV6 looks way better, so I got that.

for the range it is wonder since i can do 512 km with my 2021 Soul EV limited 200 hp and 64.8 kw/h batt that what the algorimt tell me about my city driving in summer!
Demo the huge monitor, front seat features, second row and rear lift gate! The EV3 is spacious for a 2m man! I look forward to test-driving the EV3 GT!
You missed a great opportunity to show us the "Multimedia" section that have Netflix, RUclips etc... We need to know more about that section and if it will be an update for KIA EV9?
I tried, but I couldn't open anything up because it wasn't activated (signed in). I sure do want to try it out on a test drive, hopefully it will also be updated via OTA for EV9 as well.
@@CarSceneKorea I only use apple carplay. I’ve noticed some cars mirror screen is about 1/4 of the entire screen size. What is the dimension or screen size it covers. Can you watch RUclips like that of Tesla or Polestar? Hopefully Kia and other manufacturers would be compatible with Apple’s next gen CarPlay. Thanks
Not sure about how EX30's is since I haven't seen one myself, but the latest HMG cars, Hyundai Motor Group, including this EV3 has ccNC, which supports full-screen Apple CarPlay. Watch videos by typing ccNC CarPlay, you'd find quite a few.
@@CarSceneKorea do you have an estimated distance between the screen and driver position. The screen looks far compared to the traditional design where the screen is in the centre just above the fan/ physical nobs.
Where are the switches for the Rear heated seats? Shouldn’t be on the vertical strip applied to the rear doors? Like they are in the front? I don’t believe they are not offered on the GT line….
Thank you so much! Your insights are very helpful! I currently drive a 2021 e-Niro but the lease runs out at the end of this year, and I am contemplating what car to get next. The EV3 and the EV4 are currently my favourites (the EV4 even more than the EV3).
Perhaps the EV6 and IONIQ 5 that's been running around for years could be the proof? There are many cars that clocked over 100,000 km+ here in Korea running w/o a single issue.
Finally got to the EV Unplugged Ground today. The EV3 is amazing. Looks better in person. We spent about an hour poking around it. Very popular, too, there were a lot of lunchtime visitors. Definitely at the top of our buy list.
@@CarSceneKorea that's okay. I'm happy to give KIA a few months to work out the initial production bugs that you know are going to occur. Did you get to the EV3 tech show? I've seen other reviews on RUclips but not from you. Kia really put their heart into this car. If you were ordering one which model and what options would you select? Just curious, I already made my choices when I ordered.
Thanks for the video, i have a question, is the hud compatible with google maps with an iPhone ? It might functionning with Apple maps with iphone or google maps with android phone, like on the ev9. But it would be so goood if it works with an iPhone and google maps !
What about phone connectivity or apps on the car? I have RUclips Music instead of Spotify, so it's a dealbreaker for me if it cannot play RUclips Music.
Missed opportunity with the tape measure handy. I would have loved to see those trunk measurements, particularly the width for a golf club compatibility check. Hopefully you can grab that whenever you get to see the K4. Both are strong competitors for my next vehicle.
The precise trunk size was released by Kia, which I didn't find the chance to insert on my video. Well, that's what I will be measuring in a few days then :)
If the canadian version can have the same perks that you guys do, this will be huge! If not, hopefully they can keep the price at around 42 000$-50 000$. Thanks for the video! Easily the most complete one that exists on RUclips for this great looking car. Looking forward to your test drive!
Great review as always! You mentioned that the side profile is unique (I forget your exact language) - I think it looks very much like the Kia Soul EV's side profile. Which is a great thing as IMHO that's one of the best smaller EV's out there. I'm very excited and hope we see the EV3 in the US.
The wife and I are going to the EV Unplugged Ground on Friday to check it out in person. Very excited based on your thorough review and video. When will KIA finally allow test driving?
Does the EV3 have a spare wheel? I didn’t see it in your video. If not, what does Kia expect the driver to do if they get a flat tyre? It seems like a deal breaker if it doesn’t have a spare wheel.
It’s been a while since Korean spec models did not get a spare tire in the trunk. However, depending on the market there certainly will be and are spare tires.
question for you, CarSceneKorea: what's the attack angle the EV3 can address? Meaning the angle of ascend it could address when going from flat to steep road? This should be an angle between front of car and wheels. I'm asking this due to fact that distance from floor for EV3 is a bit lower than other SUVs (only 14cm, I assume). Cheers
If you watch below time stamped video of mine on KGM Torres EVX, IONIQ 5 has 18.8 degrees on the front. I could not find the number for EV3, but given the front bumper design, I think it'd be safe to assume that it will be more similar to that if not slightly more: ruclips.net/video/4BrNgljgTYs/видео.html
@@CarSceneKorea : Thank you. This is much more than my current (old) Volvo V40. I'm targetting to move to KIA EV3 as this looks fantastic, close to same length, extremely modern! Ciao from Italy.
@@CarSceneKorea I am surprised that even the cheapest model has a heat pump. Who knows what they put into the 4WD and GT versions :) This car is going to beat all competition here in Europe. Especially if EU will up the import taxes for Chinese vehicles. Subscribed to your channel, cant wait to see a test drive and real range test!

자동차리뷰 넘잘보고 있어요 1000만구독 가봅시다!!!
시청감사합니다 우선 10만부터 가보겠습니다 🤣
상당히 꼼꼼하게 설명해주셔서 잘 보았습니다. 차량 사전 계약한 상태고 프리뷰 행사도 참석해서 보고왔는데 제가 놓치는 부분이 꽤 많다는걸 느꼈고 준비 많이 하셨다는게 와 닿았습니다. 이제 1~2주내로 받지 않을까 싶은데 말씀하신 부분들 잘 보고 타도록 하겠습니다. 리뷰 잘 봤습니다. 감사합니다. 번창하세요. 참. 그리고 자막은 자동번역인거 같긴 한데 이것도 수준이 많이 올라왔네요.ㅎㅎ
계약 축하드려요! 정말 탐나고 갖고 싶은 차량인데, 저는 주거 환경 탓에 전기차 운용이 어려워 매번 아쉽기만 합니다. 그중에서도 EV3는 진짜 정말 탐나더라고요. 영어 스크립트는 제가 직접 전부 검수하고 그걸 자동번역해서 자막을 달고 있기는 한데 정말 많이 좋아졌죠 ㅎㅎ 예전엔 쓰기 민망한 수준이었는데 말이죠. 앞으로 한국음성 기능도 유튜브에서 열어준다면(극소수 유튜브 채널만 현재 베타 테스트 중 ㅠㅠ) AI를 이용해서 한국어 음성으로도 들으실 수 있을 것 같습니다! 따뜻한 댓글 감사드리고 EV3 축하드려요!

Hi can you do the comparison of rear leg room and rear shoulder room between this and Kona EV? using the measuring tape
Base trim please. Especially wheels. Is 17” diameter too small for the design?
I sure will come up with a video when I find one. It's mostly loaded models in show rooms for now.
Can't wait! Hopefully the price is around 30000-35000€ in Europe!
🤞
Is blind spot monitoring availabe for the car?
Yep :)
Do the front seats fold forward, as in the Hyundai you showed briefly?
Nope, it's only Hyundai CASPER (INSTER) that does it, with the exception of commercial trucks.
What is length of trunk when rear seats are folded? It is posible to fold front seats to like in Hiunday Insta/Casper?

Any idea if the infotainment will be updated for Hyundai models like updated ioniq 5?
No mention about it from Kia, sure do hope that becomes a reality!
Demo the huge monitor, front seat features, second row and rear lift gate! The EV3 is spacious for a 2m man! I look forward to test-driving the EV3 GT!
Coming soon..!
After long time with another banger ev, many people are eyeing this oñe ev 3, rear door design could change. ..... nice vid
Glad you like it! 👍
You missed a great opportunity to show us the "Multimedia" section that have Netflix, RUclips etc... We need to know more about that section and if it will be an update for KIA EV9?
I tried, but I couldn't open anything up because it wasn't activated (signed in). I sure do want to try it out on a test drive, hopefully it will also be updated via OTA for EV9 as well.
Would it be possible to demonstrate apple CarPlay for us. I know EX30 still doesn’t have it. Thanks
Is there anything in particular you curious about because the system won’t be much different from other cars.
@@CarSceneKorea I only use apple carplay. I’ve noticed some cars mirror screen is about 1/4 of the entire screen size. What is the dimension or screen size it covers. Can you watch RUclips like that of Tesla or Polestar? Hopefully Kia and other manufacturers would be compatible with Apple’s next gen CarPlay. Thanks
Not sure about how EX30's is since I haven't seen one myself, but the latest HMG cars, Hyundai Motor Group, including this EV3 has ccNC, which supports full-screen Apple CarPlay. Watch videos by typing ccNC CarPlay, you'd find quite a few.
@@CarSceneKorea do you have an estimated distance between the screen and driver position. The screen looks far compared to the traditional design where the screen is in the centre just above the fan/ physical nobs.
Unfortunately not, but nothing too significant that I noticed.
can u highlight all the differences between the different models? like in features etc
That'd vary depending on a market to another, your local dealer should have the answer to that.
Does the car have double-pane glass on the side windows like a Tesla? I'm curious how good the sound insulation is.
Yes for first row windows.
really love how this thing looks, if it comes at a decent price in europe im interested, looks nicer than other compact suvs
Fingers crossed!
Where are the switches for the Rear heated seats? Shouldn’t be on the vertical strip applied to the rear doors? Like they are in the front? I don’t believe they are not offered on the GT line….
Weren’t they? Let me watch the video again.
Thank you so much! Your insights are very helpful! I currently drive a 2021 e-Niro but the lease runs out at the end of this year, and I am contemplating what car to get next. The EV3 and the EV4 are currently my favourites (the EV4 even more than the EV3).
Sure do hope to get my hands on the EV4 🥲
Does the 360 camera function as dashcam like Tesla?
No Sentry Mode, but does record front & rear while parked.
Great review - what battery type is it going to use?
NCM batteries :)
@@CarSceneKorea I'd like to see some reliability and longevity data, and cold performance.
Perhaps the EV6 and IONIQ 5 that's been running around for years could be the proof? There are many cars that clocked over 100,000 km+ here in Korea running w/o a single issue.
Is bidirectional charging available ?
Only V2L at the moment from Hyundai Motor Group.
Finally got to the EV Unplugged Ground today. The EV3 is amazing. Looks better in person. We spent about an hour poking around it. Very popular, too, there were a lot of lunchtime visitors. Definitely at the top of our buy list.
Glad you like it! 👍 Nice meeting my English viewers in Korea :)
Our EV3 is officially on order. It'll be at February at least before we get it. Must be a lot of orders already!
That long? I've heard some are getting theirs delivered in August.
@@CarSceneKorea that's okay. I'm happy to give KIA a few months to work out the initial production bugs that you know are going to occur.
Did you get to the EV3 tech show? I've seen other reviews on RUclips but not from you. Kia really put their heart into this car.
If you were ordering one which model and what options would you select? Just curious, I already made my choices when I ordered.
Where is V2L Inside the vehicle? and is it in standard model as well?
V2L available inside, the option will depend on the market.
Thanks for the video, i have a question, is the hud compatible with google maps with an iPhone ? It might functionning with Apple maps with iphone or google maps with android phone, like on the ev9. But it would be so goood if it works with an iPhone and google maps !
Sorry, cannot find that out for you since Google Map is not available in Korea 😢
Thanks a lot for your return and sorry for my ignorance. You can try with naver or kakaomaps with an iPhone, see if turn by turn will show on the hud
Any info on vehicle to home or vehicle to grid capabilities?
I could not find any info about V2G at the moment.
Isn't there any ambient lighting in the back?
Can’t recall off my head now, shall find out on my night test drive video.
@@CarSceneKorea Great! Looking forward to that! 👍
Looks nice but quite wide for a "small car". Is there a measurement for width including wing mirrors? The 1850mm is going to be without.
Will measure that too in a few days.
Looks good 👍👀, looking forward for a test drive in Germany .
Thans! Could you do night drive, so we see the lights in and out the car.
What about phone connectivity or apps on the car? I have RUclips Music instead of Spotify, so it's a dealbreaker for me if it cannot play RUclips Music.
You can play RUclips Music using Bluetooth no problem, I could not check out the phone connectivity since it wasn't unlocked on this display EV3s.
Missed opportunity with the tape measure handy. I would have loved to see those trunk measurements, particularly the width for a golf club compatibility check. Hopefully you can grab that whenever you get to see the K4. Both are strong competitors for my next vehicle.
The precise trunk size was released by Kia, which I didn't find the chance to insert on my video. Well, that's what I will be measuring in a few days then :)
리뷰 디테일하게 잘 하시네요 40분동안 지루하지 않게 잘 봤습니다
시청 감사합니다! 원본 3시간을 정말 추리고 추려서 편집했습니다 😅
What about car camping features?
If the canadian version can have the same perks that you guys do, this will be huge! If not, hopefully they can keep the price at around 42 000$-50 000$. Thanks for the video! Easily the most complete one that exists on RUclips for this great looking car. Looking forward to your test drive!
Coming up asap!
Great review as always! You mentioned that the side profile is unique (I forget your exact language) - I think it looks very much like the Kia Soul EV's side profile. Which is a great thing as IMHO that's one of the best smaller EV's out there. I'm very excited and hope we see the EV3 in the US.
You got me good there, it's near impossible to spot a Kia Soul here in Korea which got me completely forget about the car 😭
The wife and I are going to the EV Unplugged Ground on Friday to check it out in person. Very excited based on your thorough review and video. When will KIA finally allow test driving?
No info on that yet, won't be another week or two at the minimum after seeing youtubers test driving the car.
Thank you mate. Do you choose Torres EVX or Kia EV3?
EV3.
Does the EV3 have a spare wheel? I didn’t see it in your video. If not, what does Kia expect the driver to do if they get a flat tyre? It seems like a deal breaker if it doesn’t have a spare wheel.
It’s been a while since Korean spec models did not get a spare tire in the trunk. However, depending on the market there certainly will be and are spare tires.
Kia has been killing the game man
I want one... when is it hitting the US Market?
It typically takes about six months to reach other parts of the globe 🥲
Are there any AC outlets?
If you are referring to V2L - yes, both inside out.
Great review! When do you get your hands on the EV5?
It is not yet released here in Korea. I will do so as soon as possible.
question for you, CarSceneKorea: what's the attack angle the EV3 can address? Meaning the angle of ascend it could address when going from flat to steep road? This should be an angle between front of car and wheels. I'm asking this due to fact that distance from floor for EV3 is a bit lower than other SUVs (only 14cm, I assume). Cheers
If you watch below time stamped video of mine on KGM Torres EVX, IONIQ 5 has 18.8 degrees on the front. I could not find the number for EV3, but given the front bumper design, I think it'd be safe to assume that it will be more similar to that if not slightly more:

@@CarSceneKorea : Thank you. This is much more than my current (old) Volvo V40. I'm targetting to move to KIA EV3 as this looks fantastic, close to same length, extremely modern! Ciao from Italy.
Great review! Do you know if the store like TikTok will come to the current EV’s as an update? Or any insight?
Not quite getting the question here since I don't use TikTok.
Wonder if there will also be a small fridge in the middle console as an option. Such an unique feature.
I doubt that given its segment.
@@CarSceneKorea I am surprised that even the cheapest model has a heat pump. Who knows what they put into the 4WD and GT versions :)
This car is going to beat all competition here in Europe. Especially if EU will up the import taxes for Chinese vehicles. Subscribed to your channel, cant wait to see a test drive and real range test!
@@Cyril_H Will deliver asap!
Great job as usual my friend! 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
