As many have mentioned, there is a rear wiper! REJOICE! It’s hidden below the spoiler 🎉🎉🎉
I like the fresh look, definitely very appealing. ❤
I can’t wait to see the EV3 in person in the future, maybe in the Everything Electric in London event next year.
There is a rear wiper...its hidden underneath the spoiler...😊
I was coming here to say exactly this!
We have a rear wiper! Rejoice! Lol!
Yippee
Is it ashamed?
@@ISuperTedthey’ve hid it to make the rear look cleaner
There is a rear wiper. It's hidden under the wing protruding from the roof.
I have a Nero EV now and I will be changing to the Kia EV 3
Nice
Me too
Cracking video this one. Lots of your constructive opinions and references to the competition and lots of good detail information.
I think it looks quite cool, great review as always Tish. I must admit I love my Sportage HEV so exciting to see what cars KIA have coming through in the future. If the electric pickup truck concept happens that was floating around reddit last week, that would be a pretty epic future KIA too.
That’s a fantastic looking small ev suv, price will be the deciding factor
The fact that tesla and koreans are embarrassing the so called juggernaut automakers from japan and germany is truly laughable. This looks like a decent car.
Kia and Hyundai are very well established and it’s insulting to them suggesting they’ve just appeared. As for Tesla, look at the sliding sales figures and huge cost saving programme currently underway. Just when Tesla needs to growing its shrinking.
@@dominicr4740 Kia/Hyundai have only really upped their game in the 2020s so its pretty recent.
Tesla isnt focussed on being a car company. Theyre all in on autonomy and robo taxis. Their 25k will be stellar im sure but thats 2years out. Their model 3&Y is still class leading & is the best selling car in the world.
In reality Tesla have only one modern car the model Y. The model 3 variants are dating rapidly.
Even VW have ID3, 4, 5, 7 and Buzz.
Kia has come a long way from a lemon in ‘90s.
Way to go!!
In fact, Hyundai &Kia will be the 2nd largest automaker in the near future.
German and Japanese companies are not ready for the next game!!
As the world's third-largest automaker, Hyundai is a giant.
And in 2020??? Hyundai and Kia will be sorely disappointed.
Like Tesla, South Korea's Hyundai and Kia are reaping the fruits of years of preparation and hard work. When it comes to electric car technology, Hyundai and Kia seem to be the best.
The batteries used in their cars are produced by three Korean companies with some of the best technology in the world, so there seems to be more synergy.
KIA EV3 for me is probably the best electric car KIA has made so far. Niro is too ordinary, EV6 too sporty, EV9 too big. They should have left the rear door handle where it belongs. It's tragic what problems the free space between driver and passenger causes for EV designers and how badly they manage it, including the EV3. What KIA should be particularly commended for is the bi-directional charging capabilities. Despite my minor quibbles, as I said, for me the best EV KIA yet. Small cars like the Volvo EX30 and Smart #3 are no match for it.
It only has V2L
A very good informed review. My initial impressions are positive. The EV3s design both inside and out is appealing with no obvious letdowns. I hope the EV3 is offered with some descent paint colours. Currently the best red paint colour comes from Mazda. A stand out paint colour is like icing on the cake.
Thanks Tish, was waiting for your review. Interesting car. You definitely win the award for colour co-ordination when reviewing the car!
It actually has a hidden rear wiper. Thankfully, they stopped to put the rear lights too low.
Was it fun meeting the other famous youtubers at the event? This looks like the spiritual successor to the Kona unlike the actual new Kona.
Very informative review. Well done 👍
The ideal family EV and with a real range of over 300 miles
Hopefully they change that table gimmick by the time it gets to production
Ha Hahh…. The rear wiper is under the rear spoiler, hidden from your view…😊
You are right! That’s great!
Very good review of the Kia EV3, nice job young lady.
I'd rather have the charging port in front as in the Niro EV. Also disappointed with the lack of the 800V architecture. Otherwise it looks like another great EV, just like the Niro - compact on the outside, but spacious inside. Can't wait for a real life test 🙂.
Waiting for this car to be unveiled in Australia next year. It is good to be based on the 400V architecture since it gives KIA more chance to compete with its Chinese rivals.
Seen this car in flesh. It’s truly fantastic and really eye catching.
It’s larger than you think and the room inside is class leading.
It’s very impressive and will be a winner if the price is competitive vs its rivals.
Hello, cheers from Lisbon 🇵🇹
Along with BYD I'd place KIA in the car industry disruptor segment at the moment. You only have to look at the new tariffs countries are placing on these companies to see they're worried about the financial fragility of US automakers
In another video, the wiper was described as hidden under the rear spoiler…
Yes it is ☺️ I only had a very small time with the car, so I tend to say what I see. Great news
This looks great. However what happened to the KIA logo on the steering wheel? it's off to one side lol. I like where the rear door handles are. I do not think an EV9 or an EV6 are premium. They are expensive yes but premium no. I sat in both and the quality of materials in both was a disappointment.
Still great cars for what they are do.
However I think the current Kia Sportage is still KIAs best car so far especially uts dash and digital cluster. No one has done a dash with a digital cluster as stylish ir classy as the one in the current KIA Sportage not even KIA itself.
Great video, Tish. It's a nice car and definitely wins points over the Volvo EX30 by having a digital drivers display and physical buttons for climate. I just wish they stuck with centre storage and cup holders. Surely they're more useful than a table?
Fantastic eyes makup looks very very nice.
Your videos are getting more professional look.
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Look closer. The rear wiper is located under the rear spoiler its hidden like most kia products
Ahhh that’s really good to know!
hidden wiper
Hmm. All about the price I feel here 👀💭
Looking at another video the rear wiper is under the roof spoiler,
Nice car but were is the tigernoise?😮
wow!
Well done again for a great review. When other reviewers produce videos that's reminiscent of an advert, or give the impression that that they've been paid handsomely by the car manufacturer, Trish isn't afraid to point out criticisms.
Overall, I think a great deal of thought has gone into the design of this car. I hope they get the pricing right. I know that the Citroen e3 is in a completely different market the the Kia EV3 makes the Citroen e3 seem so underwhelming and incomplete.
High rear door handles are the most awkward design, you have to lift your elbow high, or grab it in a contrived way and only with your fingernails - hate them since the Clio's!! lol, great great review as always; extremely well researched, delivered and video'd
Look closer the wiper us under the rear spoiler
Brilliant!
I hope they don’t try to replace the Niro with the ev3
Oh Tish, but it does have a wiper underneath the spoiler 😢😢😢😂😂❤❤
Yep!! I tend to just say what I see what I only have 15 mins with the car ☺️
How do you let this rear wiper thing go trough the video editing? Currently both Kia Sportage and Kia Sorento have this same wiper situation under the spoiler so it's not even unique for this model. Quite many manufacturers actually do the same to clean up the design and I think that is a great look and I would recon northern countrys with snow will appreciate the hiding of the wiper so it wont be stuck frozen with snow when parked.
My job is a lot trickier than it looks. Usually I get the information to flick through for 30 minutes (nothing about wipers in there) before jumping into the studio, to get us much content in as little time as possible. I prepare, film, edit all myself and in this instance, in that short amount of time, I didn’t even think that it could have been under the spoiler. I understand your point if it was a big channel, with multiple people checking over the content but I am just one person and occasionally it’s easy to make mistakes. I have pinned a comment on this video explaining the wiper situation.
Nice ev
Looks good, but those charging speeds?!?! Did you get a different microphone for this video?
The charging speeds are fine with that charging curve. Too much fuss on that issue over a few minutes.
If only the EV 3, 4, and 5 would come to the US!
“With the whole world ramping up their EV sales” said no one ever in the past 3 months, your statement could be more opposite from the truth. See SMMT figures on EV sales. Home work required.
Tesla sales drop dramatically....
Hyundai Kia is up significantly...
Not too sure about the rear camera placement. The one on my Niro EV gets covered in sh(sorry) muck almost every day it's at least damp. This appears to be even more exposed. Other than that it's a good looking car, but I bet it works out same sort of price the Niro EV is.
Any CD player?
Yes...the CD player is in between the cigarette lighter and the ashtray.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ@@MG3-Hybrid
Not a fan of the pull-out table. Most people will never use it. Complete waste of space. Also don't like the 3 screens in one and how thick the bezels are. Other than that, the car looks great.
Tbh it would be useful for a coffee and sandwich.
Love it but is it affordable
I’m hoping this comes out with AWD.
This car is where ev company's should be focusing, a modern looking, great mileage/charging, good room for passengers, great boot space, with the only design mistake being the central shelf. The shelf is useless. Now it's down to the price; if it's around 20000 euros, yes, a winner if it's 30,000, no.
The table is actually quite useful. For having a coffee, sandwich rather than doing it on your lap and spilling it everywhere.
It looks decent but I have no interest in any EV until they are in the 400-500 miles range. 410 kilometers is about 253 miles which wouldn't even get me across the state of Wisconsin without having to charge. Our Nissan Rogue gets about 450 miles per tank.
Americans must have huge bladders and never eat on road trips.
ev3 fantastic 😆😆😆
Electric version of KIA SELTOS?
if a vehicle is well enough designed a rear wiper is unnecessary. If a car needs a rear wiper it tells me it is a poor design. My own car only has one wiper at the front because it doesn't need two. I therefore only have one wiper blade to ever replace. Does the EV3 have a heat pump to increase the efficiency?
It has a tear wiper because that’s very useful when starting off and at low speeds.
Do you think EVs have reached a climax?
Why do these manufacturers constantly design electric cars to look like stupid looking electric cars and who understands (or wants to understand🙄) about kw per hour🤔 all I know when I fill my ice car up with petrol which take about 3 minutes I know straight away how much it’s going to cost me and how many miles I can go!……and give it 5 years and it’ll be in landfill!
Your understanding of electric cars is just about zero.
Fwiw most modern EV batteries can last at least 300,000 miles.
I will never be in the market for any electric car .
Sucks to be you lol
Dumb as a rock.
Like all other EV's its an ugly looking thing.....Sorry!
It’s not personally MY favourite looking car but not all EVs are ugly!
There’s a huge variety of EV styles from Model 3 to EV6, Ionic 5 and 6, ID3 and 4 to boxier Kia styling.
Ugly design?
Oh, my God!
The Audi e-tron GT quattro is ugly? The IONIQ 5 is ugly? The Kia EV6 is ugly? The Peugeot e-208 is ugly? The Vauxhall Corsa Electric is ugly? The Volvo ex30 is ugly? The Lexus RZ is ugly........I could go on.
@@timrothwell33 yes everyone one of them in my eyes i'm afraid

Electric 🥱🥱🥱,Kia needs to update it's petrol car's,there becoming outdated
Speaking of outdated... ICE vehicles!
Kia is doing the smart thing, no point in wasting resources on outdated technology.
"Kia needs to update its petrol cars - they're becoming outdated"
KIA EV3 for me is probably the best electric car KIA has made so far. Niro is too ordinary, EV6 too sporty, EV9 too big. They should have left the rear door handle where it belongs.

What KIA should be particularly commended for is the bi-directional charging capabilities. Despite my minor quibbles, as I said, for me the best EV KIA yet. Small cars like the Volvo EX30 and Smart #3 are no match for it, and certainly not with their little batteries.
