A smart, stylish EV that’s perfect for everyday life
Compact on the outside, roomy on the inside and a surprisingly luxurious drive.
Huge thanks to the team at Darwin Kia at Darwin Motor Group for graciously lending us this little beauty for the past two weeks! The Kia EV3 was a pleasure to drive.
Here at AANT Salary Packaging, we love diving into the details, feel and drive of the cars so we can share our insights and experiences with our valued customers.
Spacious Front Console = Game Changer
One of the first things I noticed (and appreciated) with the Kia EV3 was how open and roomy the front console area is. Instead of a bulky setup with wasted space, underneath the small sleek centre console it is completely open.
It’s perfect for placing your handbag, gym gear & water bottle. No more awkwardly wedging your bag between seats!
Comfort & Convenience
The seats are comfy, whether I was doing the school run or heading out on a longer drive, I felt relaxed and supported. The layout is smart, with everything within easy reach. It did take me a few minutes to figure out how to start the car and shift into gear, but like with anything, once you know, you know.
The gear controller on the right-hand side is actually well placed once you get the hang of it.
Massive Boot Space
The boot space was impressive. I fit my 120L Esky in there with room to spare. Ideal for family BBQ’s, camping gear, or just a big day out shopping.
Smooth & Silent Drive
Being an electric vehicle, the drive is super smooth and whisper quiet. It almost feels like gliding no engine noise, no harsh vibrations, just calm and effortless movement. Honestly, it makes driving feel more enjoyable (and less stressful) than ever.
Small but Spacious
It’s a small and compact car, but it still feels incredibly spacious and airy inside. There’s plenty of room to move without feeling cramped, which really surprised me. It’s the perfect mix of easy to park and roomy enough to feel comfortable every day.
Final Thoughts
This EV is practical, stylish, and perfect for everyday life. It’s got the space, the comfort and the quiet drive that makes every trip feel just a little more luxurious. The bonus is no trips to the servo, as you simply charge the car over night at home & you’re good to go!
