RRP before on-road costs, as published by the manufacturer.

Overview

The 2026 Kia EV3 Air Standard Range is a fully electric five-seat SUV with front-wheel drive. It's priced from $47,600 RRP, which means before on-road costs, so expect to pay a bit more once rego and stamp duty are added. You get a 58.3kWh battery and a claimed 436km (WLTP) range, plus 460 litres of boot space with the seats up. We don't have its DC charging speed on record yet, so check that with the dealer if you plan on lots of fast charging. It suits small families or commuters after an easy electric SUV for everyday driving.

Prices may vary between states and territories. Additional costs such as compulsory third party (CTP) insurance, dealer delivery fees, and optional extras are not included. These prices are subject to change without notice and may not reflect current market pricing or dealer offers. Always confirm final pricing with your local authorised dealer.

ANCAP, by exact grade

A rating belongs to the exact variant ANCAP tested and is never carried across to a grade or a build year it does not cover. A rating older than six years is marked expired because ANCAP’s own test has moved on.

Safety recalls on the Kia EV3

  • Due to a software error, the Instrument Cluster may display a blank screen or may not operate as intended.

    A blank or slow-responding instrument cluster screen fails to display critical information such as the speedometer or warning lights increasing the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.

5-star (2025)

The 2026 Kia EV3 Air Standard Range is a fully electric five-seat SUV with front-wheel drive. It's priced from $47,600 RRP, which means before on-road costs, so expect to pay a bit more once rego and stamp duty are added. You get a 58.3kWh battery and a claimed 436km (WLTP) range, plus 460 litres of boot space with the seats up. We don't have its DC charging speed on record yet, so check that with the dealer if you plan on lots of fast charging. It suits small families or commuters after an easy electric SUV for everyday driving.
