The model
Read full Kia EV3 reviewThe Kia EV3 has an impressive range between charges, a comfortable ride, a competitive entry price and plenty of standard kit. In short, it's a brilliant small SUV. Our favourite version is the entry-level Standard Range Air, but if you need to reliably travel more than 200 miles between charges, the Long Range GT-Line is well worth a look.
The trim
See full equipmentUpgrading to mid-spec GT-Line trim gets you larger 19in alloy wheels, sportier styling, wireless phone-charging, rear privacy glass and adjustable lumbar support. We wouldn't bother if you're planning to stick with the Standard Range battery, but if you decide you need the extra range of the Long Range battery, we would be tempted to go for GT-Line for the more controlled ride it brings.
The engine
See full engine specsWhichever battery option you go for, the EV3 comes with the same 201bhp electric motor. It delivers decent acceleration, with 0-62mph taking around 7.5 seconds.
