NEW KIA EV3 DRIVEN: VOLVO EX30'S WORST NIGHTMARE

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV3 is presented as a strong contender in the compact electric SUV segment, potentially challenging rivals like the Volvo EX30. The reviewer highlights its attractive design, spacious interior, and impressive practicality, noting it offers more interior space than most competitors in its class. The technology integration, including a triple-screen display and a blend of physical and touch controls, is praised for its user-friendliness. Driving dynamics are described as stress-free and easy, with well-calibrated regenerative braking, including a useful one-pedal driving mode. While the current model features a single motor, a dual-motor and GT version are planned. The claimed range of up to 372 miles from the larger 81.4 kWh battery is considered a significant advantage. The reviewer found it difficult to fault the EV3, praising its overall package of design, technology, driving experience, and range for the price.
