Performance
The KIA EV3 Standard Range offers modest performance with a maximum power of 150 kW (204 hp / 201 bhp) and a total torque of 283 Nm (209 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.5 seconds and has a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph), aligning more closely with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 58.3 kWh and a net usable capacity of 55.0 kWh, providing a 3.3 kWh buffer (5.7%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 369 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 436 to 414 km (271-257 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 12.6 kWh/100 km for the base model and 13.3 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 100 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 50 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 22 minutes with an average charging speed of 105 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 10% to 72%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 89 kW, with each charging session taking about 23 minutes and 1 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 20 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 58 minutes, requiring four charging stops from 7% to 73%, totaling 98 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full charge from 0 to 100% in about 5 hours and 0 minutes using a home setup.
