- Kia announced 2027 EV6 pricing starting at $37,900, maintaining last year’s prices after a $5,000 cut for the 2026 model.
- Kia launched the 2027 EV3 at a starting price of $29,890, positioning it $8,000 below the EV6 as its new entry-level electric SUV.
- EV3 offers up to 321 miles of range on a single charge with its 81.4 kWh battery in higher trims, slightly exceeding the EV6’s long-range RWD variant.
- EV6 retains its 800V architecture, enabling a 10% to 80% charge in about 18 minutes, significantly faster than the EV3’s 400V system, which takes about 30 minutes.
- Both EV3 and EV6 feature Kia’s ccNC infotainment with a curved panoramic display and include a native NACS port for Tesla Supercharger access without an adapter.
- Kia is offering $5,000 in customer cash discounts on the 2026 EV6 and $1,500 on the 2027 EV3 to clear inventory ahead of the new model rollout.
Why it matters: The $8,000 price gap between the EV3 and EV6 gives budget-conscious buyers a compelling alternative, even though higher-trim EV3s match or exceed the EV6 in range—though they lose out on faster 800V charging, a key differentiator for road trips and convenience.
