KIA EV3 Europe Debut First Hands On

[@지튜브-i5y]

Korean reviewers and critics have been test-driving and buying this car. It is now very popular in Korea.

The EV3 is a well build, well designed and a practical car. Not too big, not too small. No doubt KIA will sell a lot of them.

That's right. It is already a big hit in Korea.

Went to the local "unveiling" and had a few thoughts: The rear camera will get filthy - should have a jet wash for it like on other cars. There are no rear seat belt guides to stop the seat belts getting trapped when seats are lowered and raised (managed to trap one when I tried it) The presenter kept going on about the 370+ mile range of the car, whil;st the car had the larger wheels so "only" a 340 mile range. Too much glossy plastic on the exterior (GT-Line) Too expensive - if you want either of the higher spec versions, and don't want an orange car, you will be in the "luxury car tax bracket". They need a top levl model, perhaps without the "premium" stereo and "relaxation" seats that comes in below that level. Other than that it's a fine car, but at current prices I don't see me getting one to replace my Niro EV 4 when the lease is up.

I agree would have been great to get the price lower on this one great looking car but shouldn’t be this expensive

Shame the text didn't stay on the screen long enough for me to actually read it.

This will not compete with Model Y. 😂 To small and to slow charging. To complete it needs to be at least 10000 Euro cheaper...Problem is that a model 3 hatch back is coming that will be in the same size range, probably with better specifications at the same or lower price point. But it's a nice and practical car...

[@TheEVside]

Just depends what you want in a car it’s not about competition for me it’s about what I want in a car

Teslas may be the ev innovators but they're seriously dull to look at both outwardly and interiors. Much like combustion VWs and their offspring variants. 😊
