Kia has unveiled its latest electric vehicle, the 2025 Kia EV3, setting a new benchmark as the brand’s most affordable electric car in Australia. The small electric SUV comes in four model grades with prices starting from less than $50,000 drive-away, making it an attractive option for eco-conscious consumers.
Competition in the electric vehicle market is heating up, with the EV3 offering up to 604km of claimed driving range, putting it in direct competition with other electric SUVs like the BYD Atto 3 and Hyundai Kona EV. Despite its affordability, the EV3 doesn’t compromise on features, boasting standard equipment such as dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless phone charging, and advanced safety technology.

Under the hood, the entry-level EV3 is powered by a 58.3kWh battery pack paired with a front-mounted electric motor, delivering a claimed driving range of 436km. For those looking for more endurance, the Air Long Range model offers an impressive 604km range thanks to its larger 81.4kWh battery pack.
The EV3 is built on an adapted version of Kia’s E-GMP platform, offering a spacious interior comparable to the popular Kia Seltos. Higher-grade models of the EV3 come with additional features like a power tailgate, leather-look seats, and a head-up display, enhancing the overall driving experience.
One of the standout features of the EV3 is the new i-Pedal 3.0 system, which allows drivers to adjust the regenerative braking effects of the electric motor. This system, combined with the ‘one-pedal’ setting, provides a seamless and efficient driving experience, making city commuting a breeze.
The EV3 also offers ample cargo space, with 460 litres available behind the rear seats and an additional 25 litres under the bonnet. With eight exterior colors to choose from and various interior options, buyers can customize their EV3 to suit their preferences.
Priced competitively and packed with features, the 2025 Kia EV3 is now available for sale, with deliveries expected to begin this month. As the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, Kia’s latest offering is poised to make a significant impact in the market, appealing to a wide range of consumers looking to make the switch to sustainable transportation.
With its combination of affordability, range, and features, the Kia EV3 represents a significant milestone for the brand as it expands its electric vehicle lineup. As the automotive industry shifts towards electrification, Kia’s commitment to offering accessible and technologically advanced electric vehicles positions it as a key player in the evolving market.
