Kia Rolls Out 2027 EV3 Pricing as the Electric SUV Heads to Dealers This Month

Shopping for an electric vehicle in Alberta means weighing range, drivetrain, and price against how you actually drive. Kia has confirmed Canadian pricing for the 2027 EV3, its newest subcompact SUV, giving buyers a clearer picture of where this EV lands.

This guide breaks down what’s confirmed today: the trims, the numbers behind each one, and how to think about which configuration fits your daily routine as the EV3 heads toward Alberta dealerships.

2027 EV3 Pricing Confirmed for Canada

Kia Canada has released pricing for the 2027 EV3, with the Light FWD trim starting at $36,995 MSRP. Factoring in $2,185 in freight and up to $564 in other applicable fees, the all-in price for the Light FWD lands at $39,744.

The lineup runs through ten configurations built on two battery sizes: a 58.3 kWh pack on the Light FWD, and an 81.4 kWh long-range pack across Wind, Land, GT-Line, GT-Line Limited, and GT AWD. Top pricing lands with the GT AWD at $55,995 MSRP.

The EV3 is expected to reach Kia dealerships in Alberta as the model rolls out across the country.

Where Each EV3 Trim Sits in the Lineup

Light FWD is the access point to the range: 201 hp, 209 lb-ft of torque, and a standard safety suite that includes eight airbags, Forward Collision Avoidance, Highway Driving Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance. It sets the value tone for the rest of the lineup without skipping the driver-assist features that matter most.

Moving to Wind FWD adds the larger 81.4 kWh battery for a $4,000 jump over Light FWD, extending range to 517 km. Wind AWD adds a second motor for all-wheel drive at $43,495, trading some range for added traction.

Land FWD and Land AWD add synthetic leather seats, a power driver’s seat with lumbar support, a sunroof, and a smart power liftgate, moving the cabin from function toward comfort. GT-Line FWD and GT-Line AWD layer in ventilated front seats, a memory driver’s seat, and 19-inch GT-Line wheels, while GT-Line Limited FWD and GT-Line Limited AWD sit at the top of the mainstream range with the fullest feature set before the GT AWD.

GT AWD tops the lineup at $55,995, with 288 hp and 345 lb-ft of torque from its dual-motor setup, more output than any other configuration in the range.

What Matters for Alberta Shoppers Right Now

Drivetrain is the biggest fork in the EV3 lineup. FWD is standard on Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT-Line Limited, while AWD is optional on those same four trims and standard on GT. The choice matters for year-round driving in Alberta, where road conditions shift with the seasons and a second motor adds traction when it’s needed.

The EV3 uses a NACS charging port and supports DC fast charging up to 350 kW, delivering a 10-80% charge in about 31 minutes. At home, the 11.5 kW onboard charger fills the battery on a Level 2 connection in about 7 hours, enough for an overnight charge.

For a budget-first buyer, Light FWD covers the basics at the lowest price. Buyers who log longer highway distances get more from Wind FWD, Land FWD, or GT-Line FWD, all rated at 517 km. Anyone shopping for all-weather traction should look at Wind AWD, Land AWD, GT-Line AWD, GT-Line Limited AWD, or GT AWD. Buyers chasing the fullest feature set land on GT-Line Limited or GT AWD.

Cargo space behind the rear seats runs to 740 L, plus a 25 L front trunk for charging cables or small gear. Dual-zone climate control, rear air vents, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats keep the cabin practical for families and daily commuters alike.
