Kia unveiled the all-new EV3, the latest member of its fully electric lineup that will be offered in global markets including the U.S. The sub-compact SUV promises a driving range of up to 600 km and quick charging capabilities. The production-spec Kia EV3 looks very similar to the previewing concept from last year, adopting modern styling cues originally introduced by the EV9 flagship. The EV3 measures 4,300 mm long, 1,850 mm wide, and 1,560 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,680 mm .
Compared to other Kia products, the EV3 is a full 380 mm shorter than the EV6, but 105 mm longer than the e-Soul. The Kia EV3 rides on the widely used E-GMP architecture, and is available with a single electric motor and two battery option. The standard model has a battery capacity of 58.3 kWh, while the Long Range variant upgrades to a larger 81.4 kWh unit. The single electric motor produces 201 hp and 283 Nm of torque, moving the rear wheels.
