Big news today.

The Kia EV3 has begun its deliveries in Europe.

This is a car that's about the same size as a Volvo EX30, and that is selling very well.

100,000 of them sold already.

Here in the UK, Kia EV3 starts at 3295.

It's the fourth EV from Kia after the 6, the 9 and the 5, which is a Chinese-made car for China, Mexico, South Korea, Australia, for instance.

Now, the EV3 has a 400-volt architecture, not 800-volt, still based on EGMP, still charges very quickly, 81.4 kilowatt hour battery in a what's a very compact vehicle. I mean, technically, I think they call this a sub-compact crossover SUV, which make of that what you will. Either way, it feels bigger inside than the vehicle

that has any right to be. It feels like a lounge inside. They've moved everything out of,

you know, the air conditioning has been redesigned. It loads of front footwell room, but also

in the back as well. Loaded with tech, vehicle to load, highway driving assist two, smart

cruise control two, over-the the air updates, all the tech from

Kia. And that price point and size is going to be perhaps one of the most important vehicle

launches of the year. And it's now arriving with customers. Oh, and by the way, it's as cute

as you like. It's like a little mini EV-9. And we're looking forward to other cars like the Kia

EV-4 coming soon as well. But the EV-3, that's a very important price.

Around 30,000, just over 30,000 pounds and a very important size.

Volvo, confirm the ES90. That's the Saloon Sedan version.

We'll come in March 2025 of their largest vehicle, the X-90, their fifth electric model here in the UK.
