The all-electric Kia EV3 feels like the sensible future in a city-friendly SUV shell — roomy, tech-rich and cheaper to run than the Toyota C‑HR+, which still trades on sharp styling and familiar hybrid/petrol simplicity rather than pure EV brilliance. Choose the EV3 for modern gadgets, punchy …

The little-known Japanese: versatile and very roomy, in the tradition of the old MPVs sacrificed on the altar of stupid SUVs.
And when it comes to the competition, there’s no contest between a reliable Honda powertrain that really consumes what it promises — even less at times — and a pure all-show PSA unit that drinks far more fuel than advertised.

Fast, dynamic, very versatile. Boot just adequate but interior space excellent, even for people taller than 1.90 m. Fairly quiet and quite frugal on fuel. Sturdy and very reliable. Downsides: brakes and suspension noisy during manoeuvres, engine effective but noisy under acceleration. If driven with a bit of care, it's not hard to reach 30 km/l in town.

Kia EV3

The Kia EV3 arrives as a cheeky, practical electric compact that manages to feel both premium and playful, delivering crisp handling and a roomy cabin that's perfect for urban life. With smart tech, friendly styling and sensible pricing, the EV3 is the kind of car that makes switching to electric feel like a no-brainer without asking you to give anything important up.
