The Brand-New Kia EV3 Already Has Some Attractive Discounts

2027-EV3-Side

The all-new 2027 Kia EV3 subcompact electric SUV has only been on sale for a few weeks in the U.S., but it’s already available with a range of discounts and incentives. Starting with up to $1,500 customer cash, the deals make one of the country’s most affordable electric vehicles (EVs) an even more compelling prospect.

Kia offers five EV3 trims for the 2027 model year: Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT. The incentives apply to the base and Wind trims, with $1,500 customer cash only applicable to the entry-level model. It’s also eligible for a finance deal with 0.9% interest for 48 months.

The Wind trim is available with several finance offers, starting at $319 per month for a 24-month lease, though all deals for the Wind trim require a $3,999 down payment. Other lease offers include $369 per month for 24 months and $379 per month for 36 months. Note that deals will vary depending on your region.

The EV3 already has a reasonable starting price, at $31,385, including the $1,495 destination charge. The range-topping GT AWD trim costs $47,385, significantly more, but still less pricey than many new electric models.

Front-wheel-drive (FWD) EV3 trims, such as the Wind and Land, offer the best range, at up to 321 miles per charge, though the base Light trim is limited to 221 miles with its standard-range battery pack. All-wheel-drive (AWD) variants have an additional electric motor that cuts range to 280 miles.

Standard features include dual 12.3-inch displays with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 5-inch climate control display. All EV3 variants come with a North American Charging System (NACS) charging port and fast-charging capabilities.

Kia was generous with safety tech, equipping a range of standard driver-assistance features, including blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, safe exit warnings, navigation-based adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and more.
