Video Summary
Here is a summary of the electric car review:This is a new EV3, smaller than the EV6. Kia believes in electric cars, this one promises to have the best range in its class at 375 miles on one charge and undercuts the price of its rivals.
It is a 4.3 meter long family car, boxy at the back, which means it maximizes boot space and internal space.
Storage under the hood is token.
The EV3 is a bit of a Lego block with some squared-off surfaces, there are standard roof bars, and a vertical back end. It has pop-out door handles on the front for aero. Back doors have handles up high. Exterior looks good.
Rear seats have good legroom thanks to a flat floor design, but the seat fabric itself could be more interesting. Physical buttons and thumbwheels are used for many controls.
It has a phenomenal boot and is 460 Liters big.
It drives very familiar, cozy and homely. It’s quiet. It smells odd.
It may have a bit of body roll, the suspension is calibrated more for comfort and less for sporty firmness.
It will charge at a maximum of 129 kW rapid charge,
EVs shouldn't be huge, luxurious vehicles.
A new all-wheel drive version is confirmed to come to Europe.
This model does not have the 800-volt architecture to keep costs down. It starts at 33,000 pounds.
