Another affordable electric SUV is joining the U.S. market. ⚡
The 2027 @Kia EV3 starts at $31,385, and offers up to 321 miles of range—giving consumers more affordable options for going electric.
Affordability remains a priority for the EV industry. By pairing a lower starting price with range designed for everyday driving and longer trips, the EV3 addresses two important considerations for consumers: cost and practicality. Its arrival also reflects continued automaker investment in expanding EV options across the market.

EVs are becoming more than a way to get from point A to point B. They can also provide backup power for homes and help support the energy grid.
Automakers and technology partners are expanding these capabilities:
• @Ford Motor Company is enabling select F-150 models to power parts of a home during an outage.
• @Kia America is helping eligible vehicle owners access backup power and send energy back to the grid through its collaboration with Wallbox.
• @GM and @WeaveGrid are connecting eligible GM EV drivers with utility programs that support grid reliability, while providing vehicle-to-home backup power during outages.
With more than 630,000 vehicles in the U.S. already estimated to offer this functionality, these advancements are extending the benefits of driving electric beyond the road and opening new possibilities for how EVs can support drivers, their homes and the energy grid.
