Kia Launches Affordable EV3 in US to Boost Sales Amid Renewed Interest

• Kia will introduce a lower-priced electric vehicle, the EV3, in the US later this year to revitalize EV sales.
• The move comes as renewed interest in EVs grows due to soaring gas prices, despite the repeal of the $7,000 EV tax credit.
• The 2027 Kia EV3, a small SUV, was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show, serving as an affordable entry point.
• The US version of the EV3 is expected to offer a 320-mile EPA-rated battery range on certain variants, exceeding the 300-mile mark.
• It features two battery options (58.3 kWh and 81.4 kWh), a 10-80% charging time of 29 minutes, and is built on the Hyundai-Kia E-GMP platform.
