What it is

The 2027 Kia EV3 Long Range AWD is a small sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive. It uses electricity and an automatic transmission.

Charging from a 240-volt source takes 7.9 hours.

What it costs to run

EPA annual fuel cost is $750. Because this EV uses electricity, that figure reflects the estimated yearly cost of its energy use rather than gasoline.

Its 33 kWh-per-100-miles rating helps explain the annual figure.

Trade-offs

All-wheel drive comes with the EV3's 103 combined MPGe rating and 33 kWh-per-100-miles energy use. Charging at 240 volts takes 7.9 hours.

The 280-mile range provides a clear distance limit between full charges, while the $750 annual fuel-cost estimate covers the EPA's yearly energy use.

Verdict

The EV3 Long Range AWD is a straightforward electric SUV choice when all-wheel drive and a 280-mile rated range matter. Its 103 combined MPGe figure sets the efficiency baseline, while the $750 annual energy estimate gives running costs a concrete reference point. Plan around a 240-volt charge time of 7.9 hours. This model makes the most sense for drivers whose routine supports regular charging and who want SUV body space without a gasoline engine.
