Kia has given the 2027 Kia EV3 a flexible electric lineup with both efficiency minded and performance focused options. The standard range model uses a 58.3 kWh battery, while long range versions use an 81.4 kWh battery. Kia says the long range battery allows up to a Kia estimated 320 miles of all electric range in front wheel drive form, while the standard range battery is rated at up to a Kia estimated 220 miles. This gives shoppers a clear choice between lower entry cost and longer driving range.

Performance also scales across the lineup. Kia says all wheel drive is optional on Wind and Land trims and standard on GT-Line and GT. The EV3 GT raises output to 288 horsepower, compared with 261 horsepower on all wheel drive EV3 models. Kia also adds available Virtual Gear Shift and Active Sound Design to make the drive feel more engaging.
