Thank you! This was the video we all wanted! This was big battery option? NMC chemistry because the smaller one would be LFP and more robust chemistry but way far from 350km+ reach
Well, almost. Having the rear glass being able to slide down like Fisker introduced with their Pear model, which has now been adopted by Rivian for their R2 and R3 model, would make it perfect. Having an automatic sliding rear glass for tossing gym bags, work bags, etc is a clutch feature. Typically people bring their bags in and plup it on the passenger seat, like Car Scene did with his bag😅. Oh, and built-in dashcam aka Sentry Mode. That's very important in North America, where crime and vandalism are a little higher. Rivian addressed it all and included NACS charge port. Of course, slightly higher prices, perhaps 5-10k difference. Interesting space to watch in the next 2 years.
Kia and hyundai are absolutely amazing and the engineering is the best ever really pushing the envelope with technology and build quality keep up the good work love the channel and videos kev from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Although not that long at 4300mm. It is allmost as wide as an EV6 which makes it a bit too wide for UK roads and parking spaces. Love that Kia are keeping physical buttons and those great regen adjust paddles.
Thank you for the review of the Air trim. This confirms what I suspected and is great news for people like my wife who are not into tech and want something simple to use. She currently drives a 2019 Soul EV, but I want her to get the EV3 when it arrives in Canada. Thanks again.
I am no't a fan of the table and prefer a center storage myself. They should have it as an optional purchase rather than standard on the upper trims. That would be ideal.
I agree. It feels silly, but this is my only deal-breaker. I don't see why they couldn't make it like the EV9's rear center console that has hidden storage AND a built-in table.
Oh sweet, they removed the table for a real center console storage! This EV3 Air is the one I'd get, didn't even know it existed. I just hope it still gets the long range battery and the trim will be available in other countries. I also like these wheels more. I can live without the features it's missing.
I ordered the air in september and was under the impression that the Air model did not have wireless charging and wireless apple carplay. very happy to see that it does!! 😀 thanks for the review
I just discovered your channel. It's a really nice video. We are looking forward to this vehicle in Turkey. This detailed review was very useful for those waiting for this vehicle in Turkey. Thank you very much.
Great review about the Air trim, although I’ve chosen a higher trim. 😎 It doesn’t happen often to see reviews about the lowest trim, so I really appreciate that. Counting down the days to drive it myself. 😜 What’s the sound like, because it doesn’t have a Harmon Cardon sound? Enjoy your time with it. 😉
I didn't get to test out the speaker system unfortunately, I do sense the difference between the expensive optional speakers, but I'm satisfied so long as I get good enough bass :P
Just an update 😜 Already got a testdrive. Man, I love driving it. 😎 My car, Business Plus, is expected end of November. Really, really looking forward to it. 🤗😉
It's been years Korean spec cars didn't get a spare tire because we nearly never use them, thanks to amazing roadside assistance and insurances, but necessary markets will get spare tires.
Thank you for another great review! I love this car. Do you plan to do a review of the audio quality? I hope they did a great job on the stereo and speakers so music sounds as good as this car looks. Once again, thank you for showing this car to those of us who live far away.
I don't really go over audio system on my review since I am no expert, but I always do love Meridian, Bose, and Harman Kardon system from Hyundai Motor Group, no complaint. Any moderate bass does the work for me :P
love your reviews of the EV3 ... can not wait for my EV3 in Januari ... looking at your reviews I have made the right choice without a test drive. (in the Netherlands they have 5 models ,,, 2 GTLINE and 3 models not GTLINE .. I bought the highest not GTline .. (advanced plus) ...
Great review as usual! Thanks for getting a base car. The things it lacks in the review are minor but, per the brochure I have, you can add everything piece by piece except the Harmon-Karson stereo. So the big question now is when will DumA make her review? She has a unique take on things that I appreciate 😊😊
Really a great review of a great car - thank you very much! I just hope that the AWD version comes as soon as possible. Then the EV3 will be my next car.
One thing to criticize here is the lack of 40/20/40 rear seat folding. That thing is super handy, but of course more expensive. P.S. regarding the table. I actually enjoy spending my time inside the cafe/shop while loading on the road, instead of in the car.
I’ll have to wait to see the prices of all the trims when it comes to Canada. When I buy one, I’ll keep it for 10+ years so I’ll likely get the higher trim for the extra features and to future proof it a bit since I’m still driving my 2011 Kia Soul 4u luxury trim. I really want these upgrades: HUD, sunroof, laminated windows, larger battery, the 12 pixel front lights, all LED interior lights, blind spot view cameras the upgraded steering wheel. I’d rather have body colour wheel trim, LFP battery, and a real console with or without the table, and assuming the NACS Port will be in all trims by the time we expect it to come to canada in maybe 2026. 🤞🏻
Thanks for reviewing the basic model. It is always difficult to find reviews of the lowest trim versions of cars. The differences here are not huge (great job Kia), but some manufacturers create an almost entirely different car. Also, maybe I missed it, but check out the connectivity of the car as well. My basic Peugeot EV doesn't have an app, can't even see my charging status remotely..
KIA went on a germany tour to introduce the EV3 at diffrent dealerships. The car really feels great and looks awesome. There are two diffences what if have seen. There will be no AC outlet in the cabin and the back seats can´t be adjusted as well. I really hope its just because it was an event car and the real relaesd car will have this features, specialy the AC outlet.
Merci pour vos vidéos qui m'ont beaucoup fait apprécié le EV3. En France, si on veut le toit vitré, les aides à la conduite niveau 2 et la pompe à chaleur, il faut dépenser 51500 €. C'est très cher pour cette taille de voiture. Surtout que la recharge DC est limitée.
Merci pour la réponse ! Chaque marché dispose de différentes options et finitions, j'espère vraiment que Kia apportera toutes les technologies et fonctionnalités dont ils disposent sur leurs voitures :) Thanks for the reply! Each market gets different options and trims, sure do hope Kia will bring over all the techs and features they have on their cars :)
Really want to see the EV2. EV3 is too big for my needs. Love how Kia have made these instantly recognisable car, starting off at the EV9 and reducing in size, whilst keeping many design traits. EV2 or Model 2 will be next car I believe 😊 depending on which one comes to Australia, as I’ve heard Kia won’t being the EV2 , which isn’t a good rumour.
I don’t know about any of you but I’m used to sticking a coffee from Starbucks/costa within easy reach and drinking it while on the motorway etc. Putting the cup holder down there makes me wonder if I would have to bend over to reach the coffee and taking my eyes off the road
I did mention that on my long distance test drive video, I'm a coffee person myself as well always carrying my venti size Yeti tumbler. I didn't have to "bend over" to reach the tumbler, but it does require you to reach further out due to the physical limitations. It did bother me a little at first, but got used to it. You should definitely bring your tumbler on a test drive see if that's going to be a deal breaker for you or not. The armrest indeed is a bit obstructive when reaching in and out tbh.
Well, it looks amazing for a base model. We don't see many options out there with this bunch of useful features. Looking at Kia's web site it says the standard model comes with cloth seats but in the video it looks more like synthetic leather. Anyone knows what kind of material are being shown in this video?
Given the choice, I would take the storage over the sliding table. However, I don't get that choice on the GT Line S I have ordered. (which I will hopefully have in the next couple of weeks. In sunset orange. Not sure if it's just a UK colour.)
I don't know if the details will be identical all over the world, but where I live (Europe), the Air does not come with a heat pump. I already looked because I too am interested in that car! "My" Kia dealer said they should have two EV3s ready for test-driving by mid-November. I can't wait!
This could differ from one market to another, so please check with your local dealership. The last thing I want is to give my viewers false information.
In Italy the Air doesn't come with the heat pump, I also saw that a whole series of driving assistance systems should also be added, sadly: -Rear Cross Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA) -Safe Exit Assist (SEA) -Electrically foldable exterior mirrors -Blind-spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA) -Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA) -Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2)
Again a great review. The EV3 GT line have different speaker system the the ‘active’, or the lowest spec version (in Norway). Can you review the difference?
I don't really talk about speakers and sounds in my review because I know little to none about them. Any speakers that have badges sound good enough for me😅I'm more of BOSE guy though.
고맙습니다 에어트림은 리뷰가 너무 없어서 좀 그랬는데 ㅎㅎ 덕분에 너무 잘 봤습니다! Thanks for the excellent detailed review 😊 I should get practical EV3 air trim with long range since I am switching from 21 years old Kia Cerato 😅 Practical & Economical .. and also it’ll be my first electric car. Do you have any suggestion for home charger? I’ll be soon living in a house not an apartment like many Koreans do.
에어트림 찾느라고 조금 고생했습니다! 쏘카 뜨자마자 바로 달려가서 리뷰했어요😅 도움 되었으면 좋겠습니다. 충전기 경우엔 저도 직접 해보진 않았지만, 지인 경우 회사 규모와 A/S를 중점에 두고 고르더라고요. 프로모션에 따라 더 유리한 제품이 있을지도 모르겠습니다. 주택(집밥) + 전기차 조합은 정말 안 타면 손해인 것 같아요. 제 지인도 제가 설득해서 전기차로 바꿨는데, 매우 만족한답니다! EV3 에어 트림, 첫 전기차로 손색없고 너무 탁월한 선택이라고 생각합니다. 꼭 큰 차가 필요한 게 아니라면, 감히 2024년 최고의 전기차라고 칭하고 싶습니다.
The options I've showed you, I just cannot write it all down here unfortunately. It will also be different marginally from a market to another as well.
Laminated glass is dangerous if your car get into water, you are unable to escape easily. In the Netherlands several people drown every year because of this. There is a debate now if this should still be allowed or not. Your life hamer will not be able to break the windows ! You can hit 30 times but still the window will not break.
Auch keine Neuigkeiten zum EV4 auf dem koreanischen Markt. Ich werde so schnell wie möglich liefern :) No news about EV4 in Korean market either. I will devlier as soon as possible :)
The seat is less adjustable compared to GT-line indeed, but you still do get 8-way electric driver's seat + electric driver's seat lumbar support 2-way.
Heated and ventilated seats I was not expecting in the base model. Kia may just have stolen a customer from GM. Only thing missing is built-in dashcam, but I assume higher trims have?
Indeed. Crazy value they threw in on the Air trim. Higher trims do have Built-in Cam 2, but it seems like a few countries don’t get it due to regulations.
Without an actual charge curve it's still very hard to know if this car is good for long range. If it can actually hold the maximum kW charge for a long time it might be actually really good but there is no way to know. Because you keep ignoring the charging of the car and just talk about it's one charge range. Which is not very useful.
Gözüm sürekli direksiyondaki asimetrik kia logosuna takılıyor...neden ortada değilde böyle sağda yapmışlar anlamış değilim?ayrıca simetri hastalığımda var ne yazık ki😀sanırım görmezden geleceğim araç çok güzel.
"Opposites United", Kia'nın en son tasarım dilidir ve bunun nedeni bu olmalı. Bazı Kia'ların logoları da bu şekilde jantlardadır! "Opposites United," is the latest Kia design language and that must be the reason why. Some Kias have their logos on wheels that way too!
Why do you say that EV6 doesn't have auto Regen. Just puul and hold the right paddle and it switches to auto regen. EV6 will also bring you to a dead stop in ipedal mode.
I should've said Auto Regen 3.0, which currently is exclusive to EV3 only from entire Hyundai Motor Group EV line-ups. It's different from the Auto mode we used to have on previous cars, it stops the vehicle to a complete stop whereas others' didn't.
they should leave small screen cut like on Kia E niro 2 base model to attach smartphone holder this only reason i bought Kia E niro 2 not 4 why they can't do that on new cars
Hi loved the review. I am in the UK and wanted to know did your test model ev3 air have tinted windows. It seems UK spec does not have tinted windows. Thanks in advance if you can throw any light on the subject.
Yep, it's Korean thing, 99% of cars in Korea have tints. None of Hyundai Motor Group cars come with tints from the factory, it's all done post-production by the owner/business including this EV3.
3min in and if you don't show us the multimedia section in the infotainment system, where we can see TH-cam, NETFLIX and so on... Im going to be very disappointed! 🤔
I think I’ve mentioned that at the start of the video. I have a lot of videos on the EV3 already and except for this car being the base trim, there is not much of a difference about the ride. Therefore I wanted to share my direct feedback and experience with the EV6 :)
Would you like white or brown rice today? well the EV6 is white so white rice. Honey can you take out the trash? In the EV6 dear there is more room in the back. Shall we go out tonight to see a film at the cinema? Did you know that the EV6 has reclining seats. I am starting to understand why girlfriends fall asleep when I start talking about cars! EV6, EV6, Ev6 Zzzzzzz

The door Handley are wrong atleast for europe! The air base model should have classic handles no flush mount units
Personally, I like the cheapest Air model better than the expensive GT-Line model. It feels more practical.
I think I'd either go super cheap EV3 or loaded EV3.
The door handles ate nice @@CarSceneKorea
Agreed, I like the wheels and matte black trim on the base model. I can do without the cutting board table and ambient lighting
I don’t need a sunroof. I don’t need ambient lighting.Electric cars are expensive enough without those added extras.I think it will sell well.
After watching this, I've concluded that Kia has built the perfect urban EV. Amazing.
When people start test-driving these EV3s, that will be the home run.
Well, almost. Having the rear glass being able to slide down like Fisker introduced with their Pear model, which has now been adopted by Rivian for their R2 and R3 model, would make it perfect. Having an automatic sliding rear glass for tossing gym bags, work bags, etc is a clutch feature.

Thx Kev🙌🇬🇧 Will do💪
Agree 👍
Although not that long at 4300mm. It is allmost as wide as an EV6 which makes it a bit too wide for UK roads and parking spaces. Love that Kia are keeping physical buttons and those great regen adjust paddles.
More EV series to come!
I'm blown away by how many Koreans speak English so flawlessly. Great video, btw.
Thanks, I spent my youth in North America ;)
Thank you for the review of the Air trim. This confirms what I suspected and is great news for people like my wife who are not into tech and want something simple to use. She currently drives a 2019 Soul EV, but I want her to get the EV3 when it arrives in Canada. Thanks again.
Simple, yet packed!
I am no't a fan of the table and prefer a center storage myself. They should have it as an optional purchase rather than standard on the upper trims. That would be ideal.
I agree. It feels silly, but this is my only deal-breaker. I don't see why they couldn't make it like the EV9's rear center console that has hidden storage AND a built-in table.
I agree, it should not be standard.
Agreed, and the table shouldn't resemble a cutting board
Size does indeed matter. I currently drive an Ioniq 6 and I love it, but it is just too big. This might just be my next car.
Oh sweet, they removed the table for a real center console storage! This EV3 Air is the one I'd get, didn't even know it existed. I just hope it still gets the long range battery and the trim will be available in other countries. I also like these wheels more. I can live without the features it's missing.
>Can't afford Lucid Air
>Buy EV3 Air 😅
Available in UK in Air & Large battery soon. I also prefer the none shinny black plastic wheel arch trim
I ordered the air in september and was under the impression that the Air model did not have wireless charging and wireless apple carplay. very happy to see that it does!! 😀 thanks for the review
That might be different depending on the market, but fingers crossed!
I just discovered your channel. It's a really nice video. We are looking forward to this vehicle in Turkey. This detailed review was very useful for those waiting for this vehicle in Turkey. Thank you very much.

@@CarSceneKorea Txs for your reply. As long as you're satisfied with it, it's OK for me. 🙂Don't want a disco bar in my car. 🤫
Just an update 😜 Already got a testdrive. Man, I love driving it. 😎
My car, Business Plus, is expected end of November. Really, really looking forward to it. 🤗😉
A comparison between EV3 and Sportage would be highly welcome.
Thanks enjoying your authentic content!
An EV with room for a spare wheel, that is a real plus. I bought one for my Niro after getting stranded with a bad tyre puncture.
It's been years Korean spec cars didn't get a spare tire because we nearly never use them, thanks to amazing roadside assistance and insurances, but necessary markets will get spare tires.
Most ev.s have run flat tires which makes the spare obsolite
The price is VERY important for most of us
Thank you for another great review! I love this car. Do you plan to do a review of the audio quality? I hope they did a great job on the stereo and speakers so music sounds as good as this car looks. Once again, thank you for showing this car to those of us who live far away.
I don't really go over audio system on my review since I am no expert, but I always do love Meridian, Bose, and Harman Kardon system from Hyundai Motor Group, no complaint. Any moderate bass does the work for me :P
I hate sunroofs because of the headroom it takes away this actually isn't too bad.
A very valid point indeed.
You had me at no table
love your reviews of the EV3 ... can not wait for my EV3 in Januari ... looking at your reviews I have made the right choice without a test drive. (in the Netherlands they have 5 models ,,, 2 GTLINE and 3 models not GTLINE .. I bought the highest not GTline .. (advanced plus) ...
Congrats, I truly enjoyed my time test driving EV3. You will love it!
I will get this car, in 10yrs from now. For now, Im happy with my gasoline powered Kia Sonet'24. :) great review btw.
Appreciate the kind words! 🙂
Greetings from Australia. Another great review look forward to getting these here.
Packs so much value and quality in the Air, but I would miss the Panoramic Sunroof too much.
@@RichardJansen-j6q There is no panorama glassroof in any trims.
Great review as usual! Thanks for getting a base car. The things it lacks in the review are minor but, per the brochure I have, you can add everything piece by piece except the Harmon-Karson stereo.
So the big question now is when will DumA make her review? She has a unique take on things that I appreciate 😊😊
Thanks for sharing! DumA review in Korean coming up as well😊
Thanks, very comprehensive and useful tests 👍
One of my favourite EV's ever✨✨
I would probably go with the base model, since I'm not really sacrificing anything for a comfortable ride.
I heard you. It’s missing the horizontal light bar. Nice to see a real review of a basic model.
Glad you like it! 👍
Awesome, thank you for the review and Video
My pleasure🙌
Really a great review of a great car - thank you very much!
I just hope that the AWD version comes as soon as possible. Then the EV3 will be my next car.
Glad you like it! 👍
Thanks for this!👍 Like this base model best of all.
Türkiye den takip ediyorum oldukça detajlı inceleme tebrikler.Ayrıca objektif tarafsız her detayı olumlu veya olumsuz açıklamanız hoş.
Kanalımla ilgili tüm detaylar, yorumunuz için teşekkürler!
Details is all about my channel, thanks for the comment!
One thing to criticize here is the lack of 40/20/40 rear seat folding. That thing is super handy, but of course more expensive.
P.S. regarding the table. I actually enjoy spending my time inside the cafe/shop while loading on the road, instead of in the car.
Sliding table would be nice if there is a storage underneath. This way I prefer storage and I can always improvise a table if I need it.
On point!
I appreciate small cars like this.
Also
3:26 SUPRA!!!!
Haha nice one!
I’ll have to wait to see the prices of all the trims when it comes to Canada. When I buy one, I’ll keep it for 10+ years so I’ll likely get the higher trim for the extra features and to future proof it a bit since I’m still driving my 2011 Kia Soul 4u luxury trim. I really want these upgrades: HUD, sunroof, laminated windows, larger battery, the 12 pixel front lights, all LED interior lights, blind spot view cameras the upgraded steering wheel. I’d rather have body colour wheel trim, LFP battery, and a real console with or without the table, and assuming the NACS Port will be in all trims by the time we expect it to come to canada in maybe 2026. 🤞🏻
Knowing everything about EV3 already, you will love the car! Fingers crossed!🤞
Just bought this version great that you make this video. I live in the Netherlands so curious if the specs are the same..
Great choice!
Thanks for reviewing the basic model. It is always difficult to find reviews of the lowest trim versions of cars. The differences here are not huge (great job Kia), but some manufacturers create an almost entirely different car.
Also, maybe I missed it, but check out the connectivity of the car as well. My basic Peugeot EV doesn't have an app, can't even see my charging status remotely..
Thanks for great suggestion, I will make sure I go over those for my future videos!
Air model is the best version IMO.
The higher spec models are too close in price to other better cars such as the EV6 Air.
KIA went on a germany tour to introduce the EV3 at diffrent dealerships. The car really feels great and looks awesome. There are two diffences what if have seen. There will be no AC outlet in the cabin and the back seats can´t be adjusted as well. I really hope its just because it was an event car and the real relaesd car will have this features, specialy the AC outlet.
Hopefully that was a trim difference!
Is the pearl white worth the 700€ upgrade over the standard white? Or is standard white (almost) as good?
Not sure which white you are referring to, there's only Snow White Pearl here in Korea for the EV3.
Merci pour vos vidéos qui m'ont beaucoup fait apprécié le EV3.
En France, si on veut le toit vitré, les aides à la conduite niveau 2
et la pompe à chaleur, il faut dépenser 51500 €. C'est très cher pour cette taille de voiture.
Surtout que la recharge DC est limitée.
Merci pour la réponse ! Chaque marché dispose de différentes options et finitions, j'espère vraiment que Kia apportera toutes les technologies et fonctionnalités dont ils disposent sur leurs voitures :)
Thanks for the reply! Each market gets different options and trims, sure do hope Kia will bring over all the techs and features they have on their cars :)
Well presented thanks
Glad you like it! 👍
Thanks for this video! Do you know the material of the seats? I hope they will be stain-resistant so its even more practical!
Mix of fabric and leather-like recycled materials.
Really want to see the EV2. EV3 is too big for my needs. Love how Kia have made these instantly recognisable car, starting off at the EV9 and reducing in size, whilst keeping many design traits. EV2 or Model 2 will be next car I believe 😊 depending on which one comes to Australia, as I’ve heard Kia won’t being the EV2 , which isn’t a good rumour.
It would've been really nice if Kia Ray EV was also available globally. Can't wait to see other EVs indeed.
Have you thought about doing a video on used car dealers and websites for EVs? Which ones do you recommend?
My plates are full doing what I do rn😅
@@CarSceneKorea 👍 Hyundai and Kia should be paying you for your videos. You are their #1 ambassador.
The sliding table is a good idea, but it shouldn't look like a cutting board

Build it in the USA so we get the incentives, put an LFP battery and a heat pump in it, and it's PERFECT.

Looking at Kia's web site it says the standard model comes with cloth seats but in the video it looks more like synthetic leather. Anyone knows what kind of material are being shown in this video?

Wow, that’s a nice color. We don’t get that color here in Korea. Congratulations on your purchase!
A narrow street in korea is in europe what we consider a highway, that makes me rethink ev3, 1850mm is too wide..
🤣🤣🤣Inster has entered the chat.
Does the Air come with a heat pump?
I don't know if the details will be identical all over the world, but where I live (Europe), the Air does not come with a heat pump. I already looked because I too am interested in that car! "My" Kia dealer said they should have two EV3s ready for test-driving by mid-November. I can't wait!
This could differ from one market to another, so please check with your local dealership. The last thing I want is to give my viewers false information.
@@Accuaro Sweden, yes with both batteries and all trims.
In Italy the Air doesn't come with the heat pump, I also saw that a whole series of driving assistance systems should also be added, sadly:
-Rear Cross Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA)
-Safe Exit Assist (SEA)
-Electrically foldable exterior mirrors
-Blind-spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA)
-Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA)
-Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2)
Is it possible to purchase eletric trunk lid as an option? I am a bit disappointed because of its absence
Yes, automated trunk available on higher trims :)

It does for domestic Korean market; however, I’m not sure about other markets.
고맙습니다 에어트림은 리뷰가 너무 없어서 좀 그랬는데 ㅎㅎ 덕분에 너무 잘 봤습니다! Thanks for the excellent detailed review 😊 I should get practical EV3 air trim with long range since I am switching from 21 years old Kia Cerato 😅 Practical & Economical .. and also it’ll be my first electric car. Do you have any suggestion for home charger? I’ll be soon living in a house not an apartment like many Koreans do.
에어트림 찾느라고 조금 고생했습니다! 쏘카 뜨자마자 바로 달려가서 리뷰했어요😅 도움 되었으면 좋겠습니다. 충전기 경우엔 저도 직접 해보진 않았지만, 지인 경우 회사 규모와 A/S를 중점에 두고 고르더라고요. 프로모션에 따라 더 유리한 제품이 있을지도 모르겠습니다. 주택(집밥) + 전기차 조합은 정말 안 타면 손해인 것 같아요. 제 지인도 제가 설득해서 전기차로 바꿨는데, 매우 만족한답니다! EV3 에어 트림, 첫 전기차로 손색없고 너무 탁월한 선택이라고 생각합니다. 꼭 큰 차가 필요한 게 아니라면, 감히 2024년 최고의 전기차라고 칭하고 싶습니다.
Does the Air or Air Long Range have driver side memory seats?
Nope, it's where ventilated/heated seats buttons are on GT-line, which aren't found on the Air trim.
@@CarSceneKorea Thanks :) great videos, loving them
I'm waiting for the EV5 still!
Korea does not get EV5 yet, so you won't be seeing it on my channel any time soon😭
@@jeffs6090 EV5 might not ever hit the European market…
The battery is LFP or NMC? Thanks
NCM.
And there is the 2 spoke steering wheel I was referring to in earlier comment. That is what I want.
Is EV3's ride quality comparable to ioniq 5?
IONIQ 5 = EV6 > EV3, but EV3 is really there.
Nice ev3
I like this cars. looks 😎 cool
Any difference between Air SR and Air LR (besides battery size)?
The options I've showed you, I just cannot write it all down here unfortunately. It will also be different marginally from a market to another as well.
Korean cars bloated of features are on my list everytime I'm looking for renewal of my lease. They perform great during the lifespan of the contract.
If you are considering EV3 for your next lease, it will be a great option to have.
6:52 is there a luxury merch on the passenger seat?
seat heating & Cooling in the Air addition? Not here in the Netherlands unfortunatelly
Available on higher trims, could differ depending on markets indeed.
what’s the estimated price for this model?
That will vary depending on one market to another. Please check with your local dealership.
So this is baseline model with big NMC baattery? Not LFP right ? 🎉🎉🎉
All EV3s have NCM batteries :)
Laminated glass is dangerous if your car get into water, you are unable to escape easily. In the Netherlands several people drown every year because of this. There is a debate now if this should still be allowed or not. Your life hamer will not be able to break the windows ! You can hit 30 times but still the window will not break.
Thanks for sharing.
Why no table!? I liked that feature :(
does the car have a galvanized body?
That's beyond my knowledge😭
Ich interessiere mich sehr für EV4 und würde gerne fragen, wann es in Europa erhältlich sein wird und ob es 800 V haben wird.?
@@andrzejszczerbal2475 400v pe system inside
Auch keine Neuigkeiten zum EV4 auf dem koreanischen Markt. Ich werde so schnell wie möglich liefern :)
No news about EV4 in Korean market either. I will devlier as soon as possible :)
Does the air have lumbar support?
If not, is the seat more comfortable than the original Niro without lumbar?
The seat is less adjustable compared to GT-line indeed, but you still do get 8-way electric driver's seat + electric driver's seat lumbar support 2-way.
Ev5 coming soon too?
Korea does not get EV5 yet, so you won't be seeing it on my channel any time soon😭
뭔가 영어공부하기 좋게 들리네요
좋은 말씀 감사합니다! 자막도 직접 검수하고 업로드하고 있으니 함께 보면 좋을 것 같아요!
Is it E-GMP??
Yep.
Многие захотят заказать центральный тоннель из базовой версии. Интересно можно ли заказать центральный тоннель отдельно и установить болт он?
Heated and ventilated seats I was not expecting in the base model. Kia may just have stolen a customer from GM. Only thing missing is built-in dashcam, but I assume higher trims have?
Indeed. Crazy value they threw in on the Air trim. Higher trims do have Built-in Cam 2, but it seems like a few countries don’t get it due to regulations.
Without an actual charge curve it's still very hard to know if this car is good for long range. If it can actually hold the maximum kW charge for a long time it might be actually really good but there is no way to know. Because you keep ignoring the charging of the car and just talk about it's one charge range. Which is not very useful.
I can only find out so much you know😅
Gözüm sürekli direksiyondaki asimetrik kia logosuna takılıyor...neden ortada değilde böyle sağda yapmışlar anlamış değilim?ayrıca simetri hastalığımda var ne yazık ki😀sanırım görmezden geleceğim araç çok güzel.
"Opposites United", Kia'nın en son tasarım dilidir ve bunun nedeni bu olmalı. Bazı Kia'ların logoları da bu şekilde jantlardadır!
"Opposites United," is the latest Kia design language and that must be the reason why. Some Kias have their logos on wheels that way too!
Is this long Range Model? So it is not the cheapest EV3?
You got me there!
Why do you say that EV6 doesn't have auto Regen. Just puul and hold the right paddle and it switches to auto regen. EV6 will also bring you to a dead stop in ipedal mode.
I should've said Auto Regen 3.0, which currently is exclusive to EV3 only from entire Hyundai Motor Group EV line-ups. It's different from the Auto mode we used to have on previous cars, it stops the vehicle to a complete stop whereas others' didn't.
they should leave small screen cut like on Kia E niro 2 base model to attach smartphone holder this only reason i bought Kia E niro 2 not 4 why they can't do that on new cars
Did you test the AI ?
I did on my first video, but I had difficulty coming up with the right prompt like ChatGPT😅
Hi loved the review. I am in the UK and wanted to know did your test model ev3 air have tinted windows. It seems UK spec does not have tinted windows. Thanks in advance if you can throw any light on the subject.
Yep, it's Korean thing, 99% of cars in Korea have tints. None of Hyundai Motor Group cars come with tints from the factory, it's all done post-production by the owner/business including this EV3.
What a pitty that you can't load the base model with options... maybe i hate the door handles that are flush!!😮🎉
EV6 for that I guess ;)
3min in and if you don't show us the multimedia section in the infotainment system, where we can see TH-cam, NETFLIX and so on... Im going to be very disappointed! 🤔
I have a lot of vids on EV3 and also that on the channel if you don't mind watching that.
@@CarSceneKorea please link the video for all of us
@@YES8131-o7l Please refer to the pinned comment :)
Why compare 2 different models? One is smaller and in a different class than the other.
I think I’ve mentioned that at the start of the video. I have a lot of videos on the EV3 already and except for this car being the base trim, there is not much of a difference about the ride. Therefore I wanted to share my direct feedback and experience with the EV6 :)
No table? You mean ironing board
Какая максимальная 30 минутная мощность киа EV 3?
Перевод не работает должным образом😭
Translation not working properly😭
عالی دمت گرم
Lexis Nexis. I’ll never buy Kia again. It’s a shame as I really like ev3 - really nice design for the road appliance😅
Excuse me, no ambient lighting??? For real??? You lost me here!
Well, you can always get the higher trim :)
I just don't get ambient lighting. Seems distracting and useless.
No, I would not agree. You must be usan if you believe you spend most of your time in your car. :D
Well, the stats say so :)
Would you like white or brown rice today? well the EV6 is white so white rice. Honey can you take out the trash? In the EV6 dear there is more room in the back. Shall we go out tonight to see a film at the cinema? Did you know that the EV6 has reclining seats. I am starting to understand why girlfriends fall asleep when I start talking about cars! EV6, EV6, Ev6 Zzzzzzz
