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 SUV continues to deliver practical daily usability with bold styling inspired by the EV9. It fits in a small carport and provides solid space for its footprint. 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 wheels. Inside, twin screens and a two‑tone interior create a modern atmosphere. The proximity key remains temperamental, occasionally locking or unlocking unexpectedly, while rivals include BYD Atto 2 and Zeekr X.
