Kia says $30,000 EV3 has 373 mile range and will blitz the mass market

Front wheel drive is perfect for this vehicle. You just marveled at the space inside - that's because all the drive gear is up front. This is a vehicle the US has been waiting for. Now get that EV2 here and soon! These are awesome vehicles. Thanks!

Kia and Hyundai are selling a lot of EVs in the U.S. already, specifically the EV9/EV6 for Kia and IONIQ 5 for Hyundai. This is very much an EX30-esque vehicle from Kia. Very impressive!

Hopefully this car will shake up the market here in the uk, EVs here are far to expensive, unfortunately we have been let down far to often by promise of cheaper EVs. Let’s hope this is the beginning of good long range cheaper EVs

Best wishes to Shannon. Positive news.😊

I agree, this is a very Practical design. Lots of Room.

Front wheel drive may account for larger boot space

EV3 is great and Shanna yes please Sam

This is the EV model that will become a very big seller worldwide. I expect Kia to build the EV3 here in the USA within the next few years.

Front wheel drive is much safer in snow which is important for european market

Yes to Shanna video please!

For North America front wheel drive is much better in snow than rear wheel. All our small hatchbacks are front wheel drive. I doubt people here would buy it in a rear wheel drive version.

FWD is more useful and safer in snow. Matters a lot in Canada. Bolt and Kona were both FWD and they worked well.

Front wheel drive on an EV is nothing like an ICE. Firstly the torque curve is completely different, being way higher from zero revs. Secondly, you don’t have the high down force created by a very heavy ICE engine and its associated drive train components. You need to drive one to appreciate how bad the torque-steer can be. I have driven the BYD Atto 3 Front WD and it skids all over the place when you accelerate hard. Turning on traction control helps on dry tarmac but can’t eliminate the problem on slippery surfaces. Make sure you test drive the EV3 on a wet road before buying one.

I’d buy it

Not into SUV’S but I’m really fond on this car, looks great! 🚙

Sure, hope she's doing well.

This is what Tesla should be making, but with 800V architecture, higher speed charging and LiPo battery. Come on Elon, give us what we want, not bloody Robotaxis, crazy acceleration and FSD, we don't need those thing. We just want cheap, practical cars like this.

This looks like a winner to me I would certainly consider buying one of these....

Words are easy. Manufacturing is hard.

Yes to Shanna video.
