The Kia EV3 has been announced, and it's set to be Kia's cheapest electric car to date. But how does it compare with the Hyundai Ioniq 5?
The Kia EV3 has finally been announced, and it could well become the best low-cost electric car yet. The new EV keeps many of the design elements that I loved about the Kia EV9, but in a much smaller body and likely at a much lower price.
Related Design The designs of the Kia EV3 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are quite different. The EV3 is built to look like an SUV with a boxy shape — however, it really is much smaller than a typical SUV. It has Kia’s now-famous Tiger Face design at the front, with the slim split headlights and the Kia logo emblazoned on the front. On the rear of the vehicle, there are split taillights, with a relatively slim rear window. It’s a great-looking vehicle, especially for those who liked the design of the EV9.
The interior of the Ioniq 5 looks great too. I’ve tested a number of Ioniq 5 models since the car was first launched and always found it to be premium and comfortable. Sure, the seats don’t feel like those in a high-end BMW, but they’re certainly comfortabl, and feel more expensive than they are. The Ioniq 5’s interior is also spacious, thanks to touches like the flat floor in the front row. The Ioniq 5 also has two rows of seats.
The base model of the Ioniq 5 is faster than the fastest EV3 — and while 0 to 60 times aren’t everything, they’re what we have to go off right now.Range and charging It’s a little difficult to compare the range and charging of these two vehicles. That’s because of the fact that we still don’t know all the details of the range of the Kia EV3. The EV3 will be available in two battery sizes — a Standard Range 58.3 kilowatt-hour battery and a Long Range 81.4kWh battery.
