"Despite its boxy shape it's very aerodynamic, Joshua Kim, manager of product planning and strategy at Kia America, told me at the auto show."
"Kia is claiming 320 miles of range with the larger 81.4 kilowatt-hour battery, and 220 miles with the smaller 58.3 kWh pack."
"The automaker also said the EV3 achieves a drag coefficient of 0.275, which is pretty great for a crossover of this shape."
The Kia EV3 stands out among egg-shaped crossovers with its boxy design while promising over 320 miles of range with a larger battery. At the New York International Auto Show, Kia officials explained their approach to efficiency, utilizing smarter packaging and energy-dense batteries. The EV3's drag coefficient of 0.275 is competitive for its shape, comparable to the Porsche Cayenne Electric and Hyundai Ioniq 9. The design is more welcoming than the EV6, appealing to traditional American preferences for practical shapes.
