Kia is introducing the 2027 EV3 with pricing that starts below $35,000, according to reporting from Car and Driver and Jalopnik. The least expensive version is listed at $31,385, while higher-trim models cost more as battery size and range increase.
Jalopnik breaks out the lineup by model name and range figures. It says the base “Light” trim uses a smaller battery and is rated at 221 miles of range. It also reports that the AWD models offer higher output and range, including an AWD GT with 288 hp and 280 miles of range. Another version with 321 miles of range is priced at $36,485.
Car and Driver frames the EV3’s value proposition as strongest for buyers willing to pay more than the entry price, noting that the cheapest model’s appeal is limited by shorter range. Across both outlets, the central differences are how they emphasize the lineup’s trade-offs between starting price and driving range rather than disputing the pricing tiers and published range estimates.
