2025 Kia EV3 interior, design, and features review
Which version to get?
Kia will sell you three trims of the EV3 - Air (€36,000 with the smaller battery, €41,400 with the bigger one) has cruise control and all-around parking sensors but is otherwise too barebones. The middle option - Earth (€38,000 with the smaller battery, €44,000 with the bigger one) - adds Autobahn Assistant and Forward Collision Warning, folding mirrors, Blind Spot Assist, as well as heated front seats and steering wheel - this is the one we'd go for.
A move up to the €49,000 GT-line adds 19-inch alloys, LED lights front and back, an 8-speaker Harmon Kardon audio setup, and some GT styling. It's also the one with the heat pump. If you can swing it, it's the close second best value.

Kia puts the EV4 through its paces at Nurburgring
Kia's upcoming EV4 will be making its debut soon, and it's already attracting a lot of attention. The electric hatchback was recently spotted tearing up the Nurburgring racetrack, proving that it's more than just a good-looking city car.
The EV4 is Kia's latest entry-level EV, and it's expected to be priced between €35,100 and €46,900, depending on the chosen trim and options. It's designed to be a more affordable option than the company's other EVs, such as the EV6.
It is very likely the EV4 will share its powertrain with the EV3 rather than with the larger EV6. That means a single electric motor powering front wheels with a 150 kW output. We can expect to see the same choice of batteries as well - so a smaller 58.3 kWh battery pack will be joined by the larger 81.4 kWh battery. Since the EV4 is more aerodynamically friendly, it should have a better range - we expect to see a 563 km or higher WLTP rating.
