Overview
- Kia, which announced the 2027 update Monday, added a two‑motor all‑wheel‑drive option rated at 195 kW that pairs with the 81.4 kWh battery for up to 572 km of WLTP range.
- The twin‑motor setup cuts the 0–100 km/h time to 6.6 seconds and lifts braked towing capacity to 1,500 kg, while top speed stays limited to 170 km/h.
- An optional 22 kW onboard AC charger available from the Earth trim shortens full AC charges to about 2:55 for the 58.3 kWh pack and 3:55 for the 81.4 kWh pack, with DC fast charging unchanged at roughly 30 minutes from 10–80%.
- Pricing holds at €35,990 for the base front‑drive EV3, with the Earth AWD at €46,880 and GT‑Line AWD at €51,190, and deliveries for the refreshed range scheduled to begin in July 2026.
- Kia also confirmed an EV3 GT rated at 215 kW with a 5.8‑second sprint that uses the 81.4 kWh pack on the E‑GMP platform, with full market details to follow closer to launch.
