The 2027 Kia EV3 is priced starting at $31,385, offering an affordable electric vehicle option with a range of up to 321 miles. The thriftiest model is left wanting for range, but spend a little more and the EV3’s value proposition soars.
The American car market may finally be turning a corner when it comes to EV affordability. While automakers have focused on the upper bounds of the market with their EVs in the first half of the 2020s, things are finally trending downmarket a bit—aided by the new 2027 Kia EV3.
View Price on AmazonThe EV3’s base price applies to the front-wheel-drive Light trim level. Stepping up to the Wind model increases the price to $36,485, with all-wheel drive raising that figure by $3,700. The front-drive Land trim starts at $39,985, and it requires a slightly lower $3,200 to power both axles.
We’ve also got updated range estimates for the EV3, courtesy of the EPA. The Standard Range Light trim is rated at 221 miles—one more than previous estimates, while the FWD Wind and Land trims with the Extended Range battery earn new max-range estimates of 321 miles—also up one from before.
Kia says that despite a 400-volt architecture versus an 800-volt system underpinning the EV3, the SUV is still able to juice its smaller 58-kWh battery from 10 to 80 percent in a claimed 29 minutes. Filling the larger battery from 10 to 80 percent requires just two more minutes.
