The Kia EV3 is an electrified version of the popular Kia Soul, with a cute design and ample space for five passengers and cargo. It will come to the US with an 81.4 kWh battery offering a range of 350 miles or more. The single-motor version can go from 0-60 mph in just over 7 seconds, and a dual-motor option may be available. The target price range is $30,000 to $50,000. The AI Assistant in the Kia EV3 uses ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, and will be available in select regions starting in Korea in July. The interior features a large center console, a 30-inch dash screen, and ample storage space. Driver assistance features include torque vectoring, lane assist, collision avoidance, and highway self-driving mode. Despite concerns about the EV revolution stalling, the Kia EV3 exemplifies the ongoing growth of electric vehicles. The car market may be experiencing fluctuations, but the demand for EVs like the Kia EV3 is expected to increase as more models are introduced.
