Explore the All-New Kia EV3 at Peltier Kia Longview
Kia's EV lineup has needed a genuinely accessible entry point, and the EV3 is it. Right-sized for shoppers who are curious about going electric but weren't ready to commit to something EV6 or EV9 sized, it borrows the design language of Kia's bigger electric SUVs while keeping the footprint compact. Peltier Kia Longview is bringing in the all-new EV3 for East Texas drivers ready to make the switch without compromising on range or technology.
An All-New Model Making Its North American Debut
The 2027 EV3 made its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show, setting a new benchmark as the most attainable model in Kia's growing electric lineup. Built on Kia's dedicated 400V Electric Global Modular Platform, it's a genuinely new vehicle rather than an adaptation of an existing gas model.
Two Battery Choices, Up to 321 Miles of Range
The EV3 offers a standard-range 58.3-kWh battery on the Light trim, delivering up to a Kia-estimated 220 miles of range, or a long-range 81.4-kWh battery on Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT trims, delivering up to 321 miles on the Wind FWD and Land FWD configurations. That spread lets buyers choose between a lower starting point and maximum range depending on their daily driving distance.
Five Trims From Well-Equipped Light to Spirited GT
The EV3 spans five trim levels: Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT, offering a straightforward progression rather than a confusing jump between base and loaded. An available dual-motor AWD setup and the 288-horsepower GT model broaden the EV3's appeal well beyond a single, narrow use case.
288 Horsepower on the GT, Up From 261 on Other AWD Models
Dual-motor all-wheel-drive EV3 models produce 261 horsepower, while the GT steps that up to 288 horsepower for noticeably quicker acceleration. It's a meaningful jump for shoppers who want the EV3's compact footprint without giving up genuine off-the-line punch.
A Native NACS Port With Standard Plug and Charge
Every EV3 includes a native NACS charging port, giving direct access to Tesla Supercharger stations without an adapter, along with standard Plug and Charge capability through Kia Charge Pass in the Kia Access app. Fast charging from 10% to 80% takes as little as 29 minutes on the Light trim and 31 minutes on the long-range models.
EV9-Inspired Design in a Compact Package
The EV3 borrows styling cues from the larger EV9, giving it a distinctive, upright presence that stands apart from typical compact crossovers. It's designed to expand EV adoption by making that larger-SUV look approachable in a genuinely smaller, more affordable package.
