What's it like to live with the Kia EV3?

Two months into a three‑month media loan of the 2026 Kia EV3 GT-Line Long Range, the small electric SUV has become part of daily life. It fits in a tight carport and, overall, the reviewer appreciates its design and practicality. The EV3 is 4310 mm long, 1850 mm wide, and 1570 mm tall, with a 2680 mm wheelbase, and rides on 19‑inch GT-Line alloy wheels that emphasize its blocky, Transformer‑like silhouette. Inside, twin integrated screens sit above a textured dash, while a two‑tone interior brightens the cabin. A temperamental proximity key can unlock or lock unexpectedly; rivals include BYD Atto 2 and Zeekr X.
