Through the first three months of 2026, Kia sold just over 2,000 EV6 models in the US, 46% fewer than in the same period last year. As a more affordable, entry-level SUV, the EV3 is expected to attract a new market of buyers as an alternative to the Chevy Bolt EV and Nissan LEAF. With the new 2026 models coming soon, Kia is offering a $10,000 customer cash discount on all 2025 EV6 and 2026 EV9 models.
