The 2025 Kia EV3 is a battery-electric SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Long Range is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Long Range version develops 204 hp and 283 Nm (209 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.5 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 170 km/h (106 mph). Its power output is about 40% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 22% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 81.4 kWh. The recorded electric range is 501 km (311 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 16.3 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 128 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,300 mm (169.3 in) in length, 1,850 mm (72.8 in) in width, and 1,560 mm (61.4 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,680 mm (105.5 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 460 litres (16.2 cu ft), expanding to 1,251 litres (44.2 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,710 kg (3,770 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 750 kg (1,653 lb). That cargo volume is about 15% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2025 Kia EV3 is strongest on price, while towing capacity and power stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
