The EV3 will be introduced first in Korea in July 2024, followed by its European launch in the second half of the year. Kia has plans to further expand the sales of EV3 into other regions, with subsequent launches to be expected after the European market entry.
While it will be available initially in Standard and Long Range forms, more variants are planned, including a performance-honed GT model. The EV3 will be a key part of Kia’s efforts to further grow its global EV sales, but with a particular focus on the European market. The firm is aiming to sell around 200,000 vehicles per year, with around nearly half of those in Europe. With a target starting price of under £30,000, the EV3 is targeted at mainstream buyers and the likes of the Volvo EX30.
