The EV3 starts at $29,890 as Kia’s most affordable electric SUV, so how much does it cost to lease? 2027 Kia EV3 prices and lease rates Kia’s compact electric SUV is finally on sale in the US. Starting at just $29,890, the EV3 is one of the most affordable EVs on the market, alongside the new Chevy Bolt and Nissan LEAF. The 2027 Kia EV3 is available in five trims: Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, and a range-topping GT model. It’s offered with two battery packs, offering an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 321 miles. The base EV3 Light has a 58.3 kWh battery that provides up to 221 miles of range, while the Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT use an 81.4 kWh battery for up to 321 miles of range.

Upgrading to all-wheel-drive (AWD) costs $3,200 but adds a rear electric motor for a combined 261 horsepower. 2027 Kia EV3 (Source: Kia) If you really want to get crazy, the $46,000 EV3 GT bumps up the power with up to 288 horsepower and adds a bit of flair with Kia’s exclusive GT design elements. All EV3 trims come with a standard NACS port so that drivers can use Tesla Superchargers without a separate adapter. The 58.3 kWh battery takes about 29 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%, while the 81.4 kWh takes around 31 minutes. 2027 Kia EV3 interior (Source: Kia) Inside, all models feature Kia’s latest ccNC (connected car Navigation Cockpit) with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The setup offers nearly 30″ of combined screens, including a dual 12.3″ instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment, plus a 5″ climate control display. So how much does it cost to lease? Kia is now advertising 2027 EV3 leases starting at $349 a month. 2027 Kia EV3 (Source: Kia) Keep in mind, however, that the offer is for the EV3 Wind FWD model with $3,999 due at signing for 24 months. Kia is also offering a 36-month lease for $359 a month with $3,999 due at signing. The 2027 Kia EV3 Wind AWD version has a special lease offer of $399 for 24 months with $3,999 due at signing. Or, again, a 36-month lease is available for $409 a month, still with $3,999 due at signing. On all 2027 EV3 models, Kia is offering a $1,500 customer cash discount. Other offers currently available include 0.90% APR financing for up to 48 months. 2027 Kia EV3 interior (Source: Kia) The base $30,000 EV3 Light FWD trim doesn’t have a special lease offer, but Kia’s payment calculator puts it at about $352 per month to lease for 24 months, with $3,999 due at signing. A 36-month lease would be about $350 a month. At an effective cost of $515 a month, the EV3 Wind FWD is still cheaper to lease than the 2027 Chevy Bolt. The 2027 Chevy Bolt FWD LT is listed at $419 a month for 36 months with $5,119 due at signing. That’s an effective cost of $561 a month, or nearly $50 more than the EV3. 2027 Kia EV3 TrimStarting Price*Driving RangeKia EV3 Light FWD$29,890221 milesKia EV3 Wind FWD$34,990321 milesKia EV3 Wind AWD$38,690280 milesKia EV3 Land FWD$38,490321 milesKia EV3 Land AWD$41,690280 milesKia EV3 GT-Line AWD$43,490280 milesKia EV3 GT AWD$45,890280 miles2027 Kia EV3 starting price and range by trim (*Prices do not include a $1,495 delivery fee) Kia’s compact electric SUV also took the title of “America’s most affordable 315+ mile range EV” from the Chevy Equinox EV, offering up to 321 miles for about $35,000. However, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is still hard to beat, with more power and space inside. Hyundai is offering up to $5,000 in total savings, with IONIQ 5 leases starting at $319 for 24 months and $4,999 due at signing. Top comment by travis peterman Liked by 6 people Frankly i don't see how they think they'll move these at an effective rate of $515. That's just $22 dollars less than an Ioniq 5s current effective rate ($537) and the Ioniq 5s were available for lease a mere 4 months ago (before EV popularity skyrocketed again) for effective rate of under $400 a month. I think they'll have to get that $515 down below $429 before they start moving. View all comments With an effective cost of $527 per month, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is only about $10 more than the Kia EV3. Which one would you drive?
