The EV3 is Kia's cheapest electric offering in the U.S.
Kia is also bringing a GT trim with simulated manual gear shifts.
It will rival the Chevy Bolt and the Nissan Leaf.
Kia has finally announced pricing for the long-delayed EV3, which will start at $31,385 in the U.S. for the entry-level trim, including $1,495 in destination charges. That makes it Kia’s cheapest EV in the U.S. and among the most affordable EVs in America.
The EV3 has been on sale in Europe and other overseas markets for nearly two years. But the Trump administration’s tariffs and rollback of the federal EV tax credit derailed Kia’s original plans to bring the electric crossover to the U.S., since the EV3 is built in South Korea. Kia recently finalized plans to assemble the EV3 in Mexico, however, making its U.S. launch far more feasible.
