The EV3 is tailored to meet diverse lifestyles and usages, centred on universally appealing attributes such as affordability, utility, and maneuverability. Underpinned by Kia's dedicated 400V E-GMP platform, the Kia EV3 is powered by a choice of two battery options: a standard 58.3 kWh battery powering the front wheels, or a long-range 81.4 kWh battery which makes all-wheel-drive (AWD) possible (optional on Wind, Land, GT-Line, GT-Line Limited; standard on GT).

As far as all-electric range goes, the 58.3 kWh battery is designed to allow up to a Kia-estimated 356 kilometres^iv and the 81.4 kWh battery up to a Kia-estimated 517 kilometres (FWD) and up to a Kia-estimated 451 kilometres for (AWD) in ideal conditions. Charging is convenient with the built-in NACS port for greater compatibility, and a charge of 10% - 80% in approximately 31 minutes using a 350kW DC fast charger^v.

For those customers seeking a more spirited driving experience, the GT is available by factory order, powered by the 81.4kWh battery producing 288 horsepower and 345 lb. ft. of torque. Maintaining consistent design language across Kia's lineup, the EV3 GT gets the neon accent colour on the calipers, suede and synthetic leather seats, themed cluster and the GT-button mounted to the steering wheel for the boost in performance.
