A Stellar Launch in Europe

Since its launch in late 2024, the Kia EV3 has quickly become a standout in the compact electric SUV category. It’s not just another vehicle; it’s a phenomenon that is reshaping the electric vehicle landscape in Europe! Just look at the numbers: the EV3 was the best-selling retail electric vehicle in the UK and ranked an impressive sixth across Europe in the first half of 2025.

Leading the Charge

With a total of 55,514 units sold in the first nine months of 2025, the Kia EV3 is leading a remarkable surge in the compact EV market. As part of Hyundai Motor Group, it contributes significantly to the group’s impressive total of 103,476 compact EVs sold in Europe between January and September. I mean, that’s a massive achievement!

Looking Ahead: A Bright Future

At the current pace, predictions indicate that the Kia EV3 might just become Hyundai’s top-selling electric vehicle in Europe by year-end, surpassing popular models like the Kona Electric and Ioniq 5. With the growing demand for electric vehicles and the EV3’s popularity, it’s not just about sales numbers; it’s about offering a reliable and stylish solution for green driving. The future looks bright for Kia and its EV3!
