Kia EV 3 starting at 349 euros for leasing
If you are interested in the Kia EV3, you can now configure your individual desired version of the new electric vehicle on the Configurator on the Kia website. The compact SUV with 150 kW (204 PS) and front-wheel drive is available with two battery variants (58.3 and 81.4 kWh) and in three successive versions: Air, Earth, and GT-line, all of which come standard with a wide range of features, including a digital cockpit, navigation with online services Kia Connect, smart key, LED headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels, and extensive assistance systems such as navigation-based cruise control or highway assistant.
With the standard battery, the EV3 has a range of up to 436 kilometers according to WLTP, realistically around 300 kilometers, while the long-range version can achieve up to 605 kilometers on a single charge, realistically around 450 kilometers – but in both cases, enough! These figures apply to 17-inch wheels. For both versions, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in about half an hour.
Prices start at 35,990 euros including VAT, with the long-range battery model available from 41,390 euros. The 7-year Kia manufacturing warranty includes not only the vehicle but also the drive battery. Kia has now also announced the leasing conditions for the new electric vehicle, which will be delivered to dealers at the end of this year. Without a special payment, and with a 48-month term and 10,000 kilometers per year, the monthly rates for the EV3 with 58.3-kWh battery in the basic Air version are 349 euros. The leasing offers are available at all participating Kia dealers, aimed at private customers and offering high flexibility in terms of term and annual mileage as well as equipment.
Those who order in 2024 will receive a few extras
When purchasing an EV3, Kia offers private customers who order the compact SUV by December 31 of this year various additional services. These include a two-year premium mobility guarantee, which includes, among other things, a direct call number in case of a breakdown, an adequate replacement vehicle, and increased daily rates for hotel stays – although it must be admitted that a breakdown during this time is very unlikely.
In addition, there are benefits with Kia Charge, such as the elimination of the basic fee for the Advanced tariff and the Aral Pulse Light package. Customers of Kia Charge, one of the most affordable charging service offers on the market, have access to more than 730,000 charging points in 28 European countries, including around 130,000 in Germany, accounting for 99 percent of all public charging stations in this country.
Currently, the “Kia EV3 Preview Tour” is also starting at selected dealers. More information about the leasing offers, early bird benefits, and roadshow locations can be found on the Kia EV3 website.
What does this mean?
The EV3 is likely to boost Kia's electric sales numbers. It should still be “right sized” and “right prized” for most customers. And if we break down the potential of the EV9 even for long distances, the EV3 is expected to make its way!
