- Kia launched the 2027 EV3 in the US starting at $29,890 across five trims (Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, GT), with EPA range up to 321 miles from an 81.4 kWh battery and 221 miles from the base 58.3 kWh pack.
- Every EV3 trim ships with a standard NACS port, giving drivers direct access to Tesla Superchargers without an adapter.
- Kia is advertising EV3 Wind FWD leases at $349/month for 24 months and $359/month for 36 months, both with $3,999 due at signing; the Wind AWD runs $399/month (24 months) or $409/month (36 months).
- All 2027 EV3 models qualify for a $1,500 customer cash discount plus 0.90% APR financing for up to 48 months.
- The EV3 Wind FWD carries an effective cost of $515/month — about $46 less than the 2027 Chevy Bolt FWD LT ($561/month) and roughly $12 less than the Hyundai IONIQ 5 ($527/month).
- The EV3 claimed the title of "America's most affordable 315+ mile range EV" from the Chevy Equinox EV, delivering 321 miles for about $35,000.
- The EV3 GT tops the lineup at roughly $46,000 with up to 288 horsepower and Kia-exclusive GT design elements; FWD models use a single 201-hp motor, while AWD adds $3,200 for a combined 261 hp.
Why it matters: At an effective $515/month for the EV3 Wind FWD, Kia undercuts the 2027 Chevy Bolt LT by about $46/month while matching the Chevy Equinox EV on 315+ mile range at a lower entry price — giving budget-conscious US EV shoppers a new monthly price floor that the Hyundai IONIQ 5 (now $319/month lease, up to $5,000 off) still has to chase.
