Kia EV3 is set to embark its journey as one of the most pocket-friendly yet premium electric SUV offering in India. Kia has just announced its pricing in the international markets which we anticipate would be similar for the Indian market too. Just to recap, the Kia EV3 is launched in four variants including the Standard, Earth, GT Line, and long range models.
The EV3 prices globally starts at $30,700 for the base trim, i.e., Standard This is translated to around Rs. 25.6 lakh in Indian currency. The EV3 Earth trim price is set at $33400 which is approximately Rs, 27.8 lakh. Lastly, the Kia EV3 electric SUV’s long range model debuts staring at $34,100 which is approx. Rs. 28.4 lakh.
The asking price range below Rs. 30 lakh for a futuristic e-SUV is definitely aggressive. However, it can’t be said for sure if the e-SUV will be retailing in India with the same prices as the international model. There could be certain price differences depending on various factors.
