This is the EV3, and it sits at the low end of Kia’s electric-vehicle lineup.

It’s quite small, fitting into the subcompact-SUV segment.

The boxy design looks inspired by the Soul, and the vehicle could almost be mistaken for a shrunken-down version of the larger EV9.

This is the GT-Line trim level, which is on the more expensive end of the lineup.

Our test car had the option for a black roof, which offers a nice contrast with the Snow White Pearl paint.

The GT-Line comes standard with a dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain.

This dual-motor configuration has 261 horsepower, and there’s a more powerful GT version with 288 horses.

Lesser EV3 models have a single-motor, front-wheel-drive setup.

We’re curious to sample the less expensive versions, because our $45,805 test car can’t really be considered entry-level.

Yes, that’s a frunk, but it doesn’t offer much space, just one cubic foot.
