While there’s much to look forward to, Kia has several great electric options. The 2024 EV6 has an EPA-estimated 310-mile range of all-electric driving. If an SUV is more your style, the 2024 Kia EV9 may have a higher price tag, but it has a comparable amount of range with many features perfect for those who crave adventure, including a 5,000 lb. towing capacity.
Not ready to commit yet? The 2024 Sorento Hybrid offers double the range with the combined power of electric and gas that’s perfect for any driver.

The Kia EV3: Amazing Features in a Smaller Package
Kia is dominating the electric vehicle market recently, and the brand-new, upcoming fast-charging Kia EV3 is no exception. But when can we expect to see these sustainability mobiles cruising around Satelite Beach?
EV3 External Specs
The Kia EV3 fits somewhere between a subcompact and compact SUV, a crossover in concept that packs as many features as possible in a smaller package. This FWD, 5-passenger, 4-door SUV will offer a 201 hp motor and 81.4 kWh, fast-charging battery with an estimated range of 300 all-electric miles. That’s enough power and speed for a reasonable 0-62 mph acceleration in 8 seconds on-track estimate. The EV3 will also be their first car to use Kia’s new iPedal 3.0 tech, letting you change the aggressiveness of regenerative braking during one-pedal driving.
Interior
A boxy exterior can only mean one thing: plenty of space inside. The Kia EV3’s cabin allows you the freedom to spread out despite the raised floor height. On the dash, a 30-inch driver information cluster and infotainment screen show you everything from climate and volume controls to speed and mileage, all powered by the same ccNC operating system and an AI voice assistant. The vehicle will also have electric capabilities outside of driving like powering small appliances – which will be useful on adventures.
The EV3 also takes eco-friendliness and sustainability to the next level through a sugar-cane-based dashboard, recycled polyester (polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in the carpet and headliners, and exterior panels made from recycled Kia parts!
Unfortunately, there’s a bit of waiting to be done before one of the most unique small EV SUVs hits the US market. The EV3 will first be introduced in Korea in July of 2024 but will have sales expanded into the North American and European markets later. It’s estimated that we could see EV3s hit the market in early 2026, though orders are anticipated to be available sooner! At an estimated base price point of $35,000, it’s no surprise that the EV3 is highly anticipated.
Year after year, Kia continues to knock it out of the park in the EV market. While we patiently wait to see EV3s all over Cape Canaveral, start your electric journey by joining the Kia EV family at Jackson Kia. We have a variety of new and pre-owned Kia Electric Vehicles to fit your needs before you add the EV3 to your fleet.
