The 2027 Kia EV3 is getting closer to its market launch here in the U.S.
Kia’s affordable electric compact crossover went through the EPA’s range tests.
The new EV3 is expected to go on sale this summer, with pricing rumored to start from $35,000.
We’ve been eagerly waiting for the Kia EV3 to come stateside ever since our former editor-in-chief, Patrick George, drove one in South Korea back in 2024. After a relatively brief stint behind the wheel of Kia’s electric compact crossover, he summarized the whole experience in the headline: “An Affordable Electric Breakthrough.”
Well, the 2027 Kia EV3 is closer than ever to hitting American showrooms, with the automaker saying that the launch will happen this summer. And to prove that the car isn’t yet another casualty of the ongoing EV schism that has led to the cancellation or delay of multiple models, the EPA has published the official range ratings for all of the EV3’s powertrain variants.
