- Kia confirmed the 2027 EV3 has arrived at US dealerships in five trims, starting at roughly $30,000 for the Light model with a 58.3 kWh battery rated at 221 miles of range, after first-month sales of just over 500 units.
- The EV3 lineup includes a larger 81.4 kWh battery option delivering up to 321 miles of range, and every model comes with a native NACS port for direct Tesla Supercharger access plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Kia is offering EV3 Wind FWD leases at $349 per month for 24 months with $3,999 due at signing, and AWD versions at $399 per month, alongside $1,500 customer cash or 0.90% APR for 48 months on all EV3 trims.
- The EV9 three-row SUV carries the biggest incentive at up to $10,000 in customer cash, with 2026 Light Long Range RWD leases listed at $399 per month and 0% APR plus $5,000 APR bonus cash.
- The all-electric Niro is available with $10,000 customer cash while supplies last and leases from $289 per month, as the model winds down, while the 2026 EV6 carries a $5,000 customer cash discount and leases starting at $369 per month.
Why it matters: Kia is leaning on its freshest and most affordable EV, the sub-$30,000 EV3, to chase a fourth straight US record sales year, while stacking up to $10,000 in cash on the EV9 and Niro to clear inventory before offers expire November 2, 2026. With every EV3 now able to plug into Tesla's Supercharger network natively, Kia gains the same charging access that has been a key selling point for competitors without requiring an adapter.
