One of the most common objections we hear from the EV-hesitant is one of price. Today at the New York Auto Show Kia pulled the sheets back on the 2027 EV3, the brand's smallest all-electric model on this side of the pond and a direct response to questions of affordability. Promising just shy of 300 miles (482 kilometres) of range and rare-for-its-class available all-wheel drive, the EV3 is a Seltos-sized shot at the likes of the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Bolt.Kyle PatrickKyle PatrickEV3 Model Hierarchy and Powertrain SpecificationsThe EV3 lineup spans five core trim levels: Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT. Standard models utilize a front-wheel-drive single motor producing 201 horsepower, while all-wheel-drive configurations employ a dual-motor setup generating 261 horsepower.
