Three’s the magic number! Kia EV3 “Air” Long Range review and GT-Line S comparison
The combination of range, efficiency, and size has made the Kia Niro extremely popular. Kia insist the Niro isn’t going anywhere, but with a longer range at a lower price, I wanted to see if the lower trim, long range EV3 “Air” makes for a suitable Niro replacement. Or is it worth spending a bit more and opting for the top spec EV3?
Apologies for the bad audio quality by the way. Positioning the microphone halfway down my body probably wasn’t the best idea.
