It may be small, but Kia\u2019s new EV3 GT-Line<\/a> has a big presence on the road. Hyundai gave us a closer look at the sporty electric SUV driving on domestic highways. From the first look, the EV3 GT-Line appears nimble and quick. Check out the new video below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kia revealed the EV3<\/a> in October as part of its new low-cost EV lineup. The EV3 is a compact electric SUV that pulls tech and features from Kia\u2019s larger EV9 but at a more affordable price.<\/p>\n

After Kia opened EV3 orders in Korea, starting at just $30,700 (KRW 42.08 million), the electric SUV racked up over 10,000 reservations<\/a> in 23 days. Kia\u2019s vice president, Jeong Won-Jeong, called the EV3 a \u201cgame changer\u201d in its home market.<\/p>\n

Like Kia\u2019s EV6 and EV9, the EV3 is based on Hyundai\u2019s E-GMP platform. Powered by Kia\u2019s fourth-gen batteries, the Long Range EV3 (81.4 kWh battery) gets up to 311 miles (501 km) range. <\/p>\n

The Standard Range model, with 58.3 kWh battery capacity, gets up to 217 miles (350 km) range in Korea.<\/p>\n

After improving the battery<\/a>, Kia\u2019s EV3 can fast charge (10% to 80%) in 31 mins, which is about 12 minutes faster than the Niro EV (with the same 400V system). Kia\u2019s fourth-gen batteries pack 25% more cells with 22% higher energy density than its previous tech.<\/p>\n

Kia launched the EV3 in Korea first, followed by Europe later this year. The EV3 is expected to start at just over $30,000, rivaling Volvo\u2019s EX30<\/a> and BYD\u2019s Atto 3.<\/p>\n

Kia\u2019s new European boss expects the EV3 to help it gain market share in the region. Ahead of its European debut, Hyundai is giving us a closer look at Kia\u2019s new EV3 GT-Line.<\/p>\n
