KIA's NEW SUV is ALMOST PERFECT, and CHEAP! | I test drive the KIA EV3

I've tested the KIA EV3, and it's the best electric car for most people. It's an SUV, not very big, has a good, distinctive design, very well-built, plenty of interior space, is comfortable, and has high performance. Plus, it's at a knockdown price. === 📸 Follow me on Instagram 👉   / earcos   🐦 Follow me on Twitter 👉   / earcos   🕹 Follow me on TikTok 👉   / earcos   ✅ Subscribe to my newsletter 👉 https://geni.us/YsJMIA /// OFFERS + DISCOUNTS FOR MY SUBSCRIBERS //// 🤑 Get €5 to open an N26 account, commission-free: https://arcos.co/n26 📗 Up to 90 days free of thousands of audiobooks: https://arcos.co/audible === The KIA EV3 presents a proposal focused on design and technology, with a configuration that seeks to position itself within the compact electric SUV segment. Its proportions include a length of 4,300 mm, a width of 1,850 mm, and a height of 1,560 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,680 mm. These dimensions translate into a spacious interior, accompanied by a 460-liter cargo capacity in the rear trunk, which can be expanded to 1,250 liters by folding down the seats. It also features a 25-liter front compartment. The exterior design reflects the brand's "Opposites United" aesthetic language. The front features the "Digital Tiger Face," accompanied by the vertical "Star Map" lighting pattern. The striking lines of the body, along with the distinctive light clusters, give it a clear visual identity. Aerodynamics have also been carefully considered, with a drag coefficient of 0.263 Cd, achieved through elements such as specific wheels and an optimized underbody design. In terms of powertrain, the KIA EV3 features a 150 kW electric motor, equivalent to 204 horsepower and 283 Nm of torque. This configuration allows it to reach 100 km/h from a standstill in 7.5 seconds, with a top speed limited to 170 km/h. It will be available with two battery options: a standard 58.3 kWh version and a long-range 81.4 kWh version. The estimated range is up to 435 km for the former and up to 600 km for the latter, according to the WLTP cycle. The Hyundai-Kia Group's E-GMP platform, adapted in this case to a 400-volt architecture, allows recharging from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes. The maximum DC charging capacity is 102 kW for the standard battery and 128 kW for the higher-capacity version. Additionally, the i-Pedal 3.0 system allows one-pedal driving, adjusting regeneration according to the environment. The interior uses recycled materials, with surfaces made from PET, including the seats, headliners, and part of the door panels. The cockpit integrates a nearly 30-inch continuous digital display, divided between a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a central touchscreen of the same size, and an additional 5-inch touchpad for the climate controls. The center console includes a sliding surface that can function as a support table. Among the available systems is Digital Key 2.0 technology, which allows a smartphone to be used as a vehicle key. Connectivity includes connected navigation, OTA updates, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and an artificial intelligence-based voice assistant. The suite of driver assistance features includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking, sign recognition, and blind spot monitoring.
