2025 Kia EV3 GT-Line Review | In-Depth Test & Analysis

This is the new Kia EV3, and it has just finished in 2nd place in the “car of the year in Europe” contest for 2025. So, the jury clearly thinks a lot of the EV3. The Kia EV3 has been eagerly anticipated, and it is what many have been waiting for. Ultra-compact, reliable, and spacious at an affordable price. It looks like the big EV9 but the smaller EV3 stands out, and it defines a new no-nonsense, contemporary premium segment with a bold design. Like the excellent EV6 and EV9, it is built on Kia’s E-GMP platform. The car is 431 cm long and 185 cm wide, with mirrors it is about 205 cm wide. The drag coefficient is a decent 0.263. The car on test has the optional GT-Pack which costs 1500 CHF, plus the glass sunroof, a 900 CHF option, as well as the matt-paint, a 1’950 CHF option. Kia’s Head of design, Karim Habib, is recognized for establishing Kia’s new design philosophy, expressed by the new “Opposites United” design philosophy, which takes inspiration from the contrasts found in nature and humanity. The first car with the new design was the EV6, then came the EV9, then this EV3, and more EVs will follow, incl. an EV2, EV4 and EV5. There is a fair amount of space in the EV3; 25 litres in the frunk, and 460 litres in the back without the second seat row folded and a practical two-level floor. With folded seats the capacity increases to 1250 litres. The car weighs 2005 kg and can pull a trailer up to 1000kg depending on the trim. In the single motor FWD-version GT-Line we have here, we get 204 HP and 283 Nm of torque and the claimed WLTP range is 525 km. The top speed is 170 km/h, and 0-100 km/h will take 7.9 sec. I like the way it drives; it is clearly focused on the needs of young families or elderly couples who want to travel in comfort. The Kia EV3 takes the stress out of driving, and you feel totally in control. The car is filled with high-tech, and driver assist systems make some unnecessary, annoying bling noises. It feels at home in the city and on shorter distances – at motorway speeds the consumption goes up but the car stays very composed and if you can live with the slightly longer charging time, then you will be fine on longer trips.
