Kia Philippines and AC Mobility have officially launched the all-new Kia EV3 Philippines lineup. Fresh off winning the 2025 World Car of the Year title, this compact electric SUV enters the local market with an aggressive starting price of ₱1,898,000. Consequently, it becomes the first World Car of the Year EV sold locally under the ₱2-million mark. Overall, this rollout marks a major step forward for local electric mobility.
Bold Design and Smart Interior Tech
On the outside, the EV3 shares the sharp, confident styling of its bigger siblings, the EV5 and EV9. Specifically, it turns heads with Kia’s updated tiger-nose grille, sharp LED headlights, and distinctive 17-inch alloy wheels.
Step inside, and the cabin feels refreshingly open, high-tech, and futuristic. For instance, drivers will enjoy a massive 30-inch triple panoramic display, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless phone charging. Furthermore, Kia listened directly to driver feedback and brought back physical, tactile buttons for core controls.
Underneath, the EV3 packs a 58.3 kWh battery paired with an electric motor that pushes out 201 horsepower and 283 Nm of torque. As a result, it delivers an impressive NEDC driving range of up to 511 kilometers on a single charge.
When you need to recharge, DC fast charging takes the battery from 10% to 80% in just 29 minutes. In addition, drivers can travel anywhere with complete peace of mind, thanks to AC Mobility’s expanding network of over 200 active hubs nationwide. Additionally, safety is fully covered by seven airbags and the complete Drive Wise safety suite.
