Expand Expanding CloseThere’s no denying that Kia is on a roll with its EV design language.

Expand Expanding CloseI won’t lie: We don’t know a lot about the Kia EV3 Concept from a technical perspective. Like, basically anything. We don’t have battery capacity, range, power output, or even dimensions.

Kia announced the EV3 Concept at its EV Day event in Korea.
Expand Expanding CloseThe Kia EV5 was first announced in concept form last month. Today, Kia is releasing more details on the production version at its EV Day event in Korea.

The EV5 will start around $35,000 for the basic FWD model and go up to $50,000 in the top-tier long range AWD trim. That pricing appears to be a global estimate from Kia’s CEO, according to InsideEVs, who attended the launch — so don’t take this as an indicator of US pricing. Unfortunately, Kia is signaling that the Inflation Reduction Act means the car may never come to the US at all (more on that later).
