About the Kia EV3 Long Range

The Kia EV3 Long Range (MY25-26) is a compact electric SUV that brings many of the technologies and design cues from the larger EV9 into a more affordable and practical package. Designed to compete in the fast-growing family EV segment, it offers impressive efficiency, long range and a spacious interior despite its compact dimensions.

Powered by a front-mounted electric motor producing 204 hp (150 kW) and 283 Nm of torque, the EV3 Long Range delivers smooth and responsive performance for everyday driving. The front-wheel-drive setup enables the EV3 to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in approximately 7.7 seconds while maintaining excellent efficiency.

The vehicle is equipped with an 81.4 kWh battery pack and offers up to 375 miles (605 km) WLTP range, making it one of the longest-range compact electric SUVs currently available. Its efficient drivetrain and aerodynamic design help maximise real-world driving range.

Charging is supported via 11 kW AC charging and up to 128 kW DC rapid charging, allowing a 10-80% recharge in approximately 30 minutes under ideal conditions. Battery preconditioning and Plug & Charge support are included to improve charging convenience.

Inside, the EV3 features Kia’s latest digital cockpit with dual panoramic displays, modern connectivity features and a spacious five-seat cabin. Practicality is a major strength, with a large luggage area and numerous storage solutions designed for family use.

The EV3 also supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, allowing users to power external devices such as camping equipment, laptops or electrical appliances directly from the vehicle’s battery.
