WLTP is the official EU test cycle; real-world figures are usually a bit lower. See the guide on WLTP versus real-world consumption.

Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · SK3 (2024+)

Kia EV3

Compact electric crossover on a 400V architecture, first generation. WLTP range around 605 km for the Long Range with 81.4 kWh battery (manufacturer figure). DC charging peak around 128 kW, lower than on the 800V models EV6/Ioniq 5, which makes fast charging take longer. Braked towing weight 1,000 kg. Indicative from-price; check the official configurator for the current figure.

Profile · CV, facelift (2024)

Kia EV6

Electric crossover by Kia, related to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and built on the same high-voltage architecture (800 volt), which allows fast charging up to 258 kW. 2024 facelift with a larger 84 kWh battery. WLTP range 528 km for the rear-wheel-drive Long Range (manufacturer figure). That charging peak is high; a 10-80% charge takes about 18 minutes (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Indicative from-price; check the official configurator for the current figure.
