Kia's quirky new compact EV packs 201 hp, should offer up to 330 miles of range, and will probably start around $35K.

U.S. sales should start in 2026, though Kia is only likely to offer the sedan. Pricing is still TBD, though expect the entry-level model to sit at about 37,000 Euros in Europe, or about $39,000 at today’s exchange rates.
