EMBARGOED 4/1 DNP: 2027 Kia EV3The EV3 starts at just over $30,000 to rival the Chevy Bolt and the Nissan Leaf.Kia has finally announced pricing for the long-delayed EV3, which will start at $31,385 in the U.S. for the entry-level trim, including $1,495 in destination charges. That makes it Kia's cheapest EV in the U.S. and among the most affordable EVs in America.The EV3 has been on sale in Europe and other overseas markets for nearly two years. But the Trump administration's tariffs and rollback of the federal EV tax credit derailed Kia's original plans to bring the electric crossover to the U.S., since the EV3 is built in South Korea. Kia recently finalized plans to assemble the EV3 in Mexico, however, making its U.S. launch far more feasible.Kia will offer the EV3 in five trims: Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line and GT. Prices range from $31,385 to $47,385, including destination. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe EV3 will be available in front- and rear-wheel-drive configurations. The FWD Light trim gets 58.3 kilowatt hours of battery capacity which delivers an EPA-estimated 221 miles of range. Rest of the trims get the 81.4 kWh Extended Range battery, which delivers 321 miles with a FWD configuration and 280 miles with AWD.Its charging speeds appear to be on par with rivals. It will get a Tesla-style North American Charging Standard (NACS) port right from the factory. Kia says it can juice up from 10-80% at a 350 kW public fast-charging station in 29 minutes for the smaller battery and 31 minutes for the larger pack. A 240 volt, 11 kW Level 2 charger will do the same in about 5 hours for the smaller pack and 7 hours for the larger one. This is a breaking news story.
