We’re thrilled to announce that the Kia EV3 has been named the ‘Crossover of the Year’ at the prestigious 2024 TopGear.com Awards! The award ceremony, held at White City House in London on November 27, 2024, celebrated the standout vehicles of the year, and the EV3 stood out as a true game-changer in the electric vehicle (EV) market.
The Kia EV3 seamlessly combines compact crossover dimensions with class-leading space and practicality, making it the perfect choice for those looking for an electric vehicle that delivers both style and functionality. TopGear Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, commended the EV3 for its balance of innovative design, spacious interior, and impressive range figures that make the switch to electric effortless.
Rix also praised the EV3’s ability to stand out in a crowded market of mid-size electric crossovers, remarking that it “sets itself apart with a design that stays just the right side of radical.” With a spacious and upmarket interior, the EV3 is well-equipped for modern drivers who want it all – performance, practicality, and sustainability.
The Kia EV3 may be one of the most affordable electric vehicles in Kia’s lineup, but it doesn’t compromise on quality or performance. In fact, it offers the longest range of all Kia’s electric models – up to 375 miles on a single charge, ensuring that your journeys are smooth and uninterrupted.
Whether you’re navigating city streets or venturing out on a long-distance road trip, the EV3 has got you covered with a host of advanced features, including:
All of this comes as standard, even in the entry-level ‘Air’ trim, making the EV3 an excellent value for money.
The Kia EV3 adds to a growing list of achievements for Kia at the TopGear.com Awards, following in the footsteps of the EV6, which won ‘Crossover of the Year’ in 2021, and the EV9, which took home ‘Family Car of the Year’ in 2023. Additionally, Kia was honored with the ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ award in 2022, underscoring the brand’s commitment to delivering outstanding vehicles.
Paul Philpott, President & CEO of Kia UK, expressed his excitement about the recognition, saying, “The EV3 is a car we’re very excited about, and we’re pleased to see it recognised as we start UK customer deliveries. Thanks to its affordable entry price and smart design, we are expecting the EV3 to become a firm favourite with our UK customers as the demand for smaller, long-range, practical EVs continues to grow.”
“We’re incredibly excited to see the Kia EV3 recognised as ‘Crossover of the Year’ at the 2024 TopGear Awards. The EV3 is a fantastic example of Kia’s commitment to delivering affordable, long-range electric vehicles with impressive design and practicality. At Todds of Campsie, we’re proud to offer this award-winning model to our customers, and we’re confident it will become a top choice for those looking to make the switch to electric driving.” – Jonathan Todd, GM, Todds of Campsie.
The Kia EV3 is a major part of Kia’s ‘Plan S’ strategy, which aims to launch 15 electric vehicles globally by 2027, with nine of those models available in the UK. As the demand for sustainable and practical electric vehicles continues to grow, the EV3 is positioned to be a key player in the UK market and beyond.
With its blend of affordability, long-range capability, and innovative features, the Kia EV3 is a deserving winner of the 2024 TopGear.com ‘Crossover of the Year’ award.
