At Dicksons of Inverness, we’re thrilled to share that the Kia EV3 has just been named Car of the Year at the highly anticipated 2025 Electrifying.com Awards! As an award-winning Kia dealership, we couldn’t be more excited about the arrival of this stunning new model. Let’s take a closer look at why the EV3 has made such an impact and why it’s set to be a game-changer for drivers across the UK.
The Kia EV3: Car of the Year
The Electrifying.com Awards celebrate the very best in electric vehicles, showcasing standout models and innovations from across the industry. Chosen by an expert panel of road testers, the Kia EV3 has been praised for its exceptional value for money, design, range, space, and technology. This accolade follows the success of its larger sibling, the Kia EV9, which won Large Electric Family Car of the Year at the previous year’s awards.
With a stylish design, impressive range of up to 375 miles* on a single charge, and a competitive starting price of £32,995, the EV3 clearly stands out from the crowd. It offers a range of benefits that appeal to both new and experienced EV drivers, making it an attractive option for those ready to embrace the electric future.
What Makes the EV3 a Winner?
According to Ginny Buckley, Founder and CEO of Electrifying.com, Kia’s forward-thinking approach and commitment to quality have set the EV3 apart. “In terms of style, range, space, tech and sheer value for money, it stands head and shoulders above everything else in its class,” she said. Buckley believes the EV3 will encourage even those new to electric cars to make the switch confidently.
With the first customer orders set to arrive later this year, the EV3 is already building momentum, having showcased its capabilities and features at recent EV3 Electric Experience events across the country. Here at Dicksons of Inverness, we were proud to participate, offering customers a first-hand experience of this award-winning model and what it brings to the table.
Extended Range
With a range of up to 375 miles* (WLTP) on a single charge, the EV3 offers one of the most practical solutions for long journeys. From Inverness, that’s a one-way trip to Leeds, or a round-trip to Edinburgh, without charging!
Exceptional Value
With its starting price at £32,995, and a brilliant finance offer including one year of Kia Charge Plus, the EV3 provides premium features at a competitive cost, making it accessible for a range of budgets.
Tax Benefits
The Kia EV3 provides tax benefits for fleet buyers. With a Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rate of 2% for 2024/25 and 3% for 2025/26, it’s an attractive option for businesses considering electric options.
Peace of Mind Warranty
The EV3 is backed by Kia’s seven-year/100,000-mile vehicle warranty and an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on the battery and electric motor, ensuring long-term reliability and confidence.
