This electric car should be a best seller

The South Koreans had already announced the car last year. Now Kia’s new electric SUV has also appeared on the streets.

Kia has big plans: an electric SUV called the EV3 is reportedly still on the way coming to market in the first half of 2024. Now there are the first spy photos of the model. Photographers have captured two EV3 prototypes that already appear to be ready for series production Carscoops information. This suggests starting soon.

Proportions and design elements, including vertically arranged LEDs and profiles, were largely carried over from the concept presented in 2023. However, there are also some differences, such as smaller wheels, larger glass covers and standard plastic trim on the wheel arches. Inside, photos of early production models suggest a dual-screen cockpit and a smaller dashboard design.

A Sporty GT version is planned

The technical basis of the EV3 is E-GMP platform from Hyundai Motor Group, which Kia belongs to. There is speculation that a 400-volt system could be used instead of the 800-volt EV6 crossover technology to save costs – this would result in slower charge times.

As for the car, Carscoops expects an electric motor with a 54 kWh battery. In addition, there will be one later especially the sporty GT version give It remains to be seen if this will be the same as the EV6 GT, which already gives Porsche a leg up.
