  Really nice to see a review of a lower spec model!

  I am surprised that no reviewer has mentioned that the Elroq is significantly heavier at 2200 kg where the EV3 weights 1800kg similar to at Tesla 3.

  I prefer the front exterior of the Air model - it’s less fussy. Great colour too.

  When I listen to you , I always listen with a total concentration.  It's obviously your knowledge and interest in E V's . But it's so not selling cars but giving your honest opinion.  Nice one, fella 👍

  in CZ you can get Air trim with bigger battery, so Air Long range with Heat pump is very possible and popular :)

  That was the best appraisal I've seen as we're waiting for delivery of our new EV3 Air. You essentially answered every question I had, and I'm now really looking forward to taking ownership of this brilliant "little" car.

  Thank you for confirming that roof bars are genuinely functional - important feature missing in many EVs.

  Thanks for yet another detailed and well presented review. I am coming up to 6 years of Kia e-Niro ownership and have to say the experience has been excellent. After 114,000 km the car still feels solid with no rattles and is very quiet cruising on the roads here in France where I live. The EV3 being built on an EV only platform is a clear step up and if it's as well built as the e-Niro and priced correctly will surely sell in big numbers.

  Now we bought this car, in Air Trim, with the big battery.<br>Even if you can&apos;t remove the back seats, as we could with the C-Max, it&apos;s still super practical with its huge hatch and the sheer width of its boot.<br>We have made 22.000ish km now, huge range, sometimes we even surpass the WLTP range, now in summer.<br>No single problem so far.<br>As long as Kia brings no PV 3, we would buy it again.<br>Greetings! 🙋🏻‍♂️

  I&apos;ve never been interested in an EV to date. &nbsp;But I have to say I like the look of this car. &nbsp;And what a delightfully presented review ... I&apos;m subscribing!
