The All-New 2027 Kia EV3 Gets Canadian Pricing

Ten trim and drivetrain combinations. One EV3 nameplate landing in Kia’s Canadian lineup for 2027. If you’re shopping in Manitoba, the real decision isn’t picking a badge, it’s figuring out which battery and drivetrain pairing actually pays off for the way you drive.

Every step up the EV3 ladder buys more battery, more equipment, or both. Knowing which is which turns ten confusing configurations into a short list you can actually compare.

The 2027 EV3 Pricing Ladder

Canadian MSRP for the 2027 EV3 spans ten configurations, from the entry Light FWD to the performance-focused GT AWD.

That all-in figure builds in $2,185 of freight plus up to $564 in other fees and levies; licensing, insurance, and taxes are extra. Battery size and drivetrain move the price more than trim badges do, a pattern that shows up clearly once you line the steps up against each other.

The Real Jumps: Battery Size, Then AWD

Light FWD ($36,995 MSRP) is the only EV3 built on the smaller 58.3 kWh battery, delivering 356 km of range through a single 201 hp / 209 lb-ft front motor.

Wind FWD ($40,995) is the first step to the larger 81.4 kWh battery, and range grows to 517 km on the front-wheel setup. A heat pump becomes standard equipment at this trim too.

Then the lineup forks. Wind AWD ($43,495) adds a second motor for a combined 262 hp and 284 lb-ft split across both axles, but range drops to 451 km. That same $43,495 MSRP also buys a Land FWD, which keeps the 517 km range and adds Land’s equipment layer instead of AWD traction. It’s a genuine either/or at one price.

The same fork repeats a step up: Land AWD and GT-Line FWD both land at $45,995 MSRP, the traction trade of AWD Land against a features step-up on front-wheel GT-Line. From there, GT-Line AWD ($48,495), GT-Line Limited FWD ($49,995), and GT-Line Limited AWD ($52,495) carry the same range and output pattern into progressively richer trims.

GT AWD ($55,995) is the only EV3 trim that ships with AWD as standard equipment rather than an option, paired with a 288 hp / 345 lb-ft tune built for a sportier feel.

Wind And Land: The Middle Of The Ladder

Wind and Land sit in the middle of the ladder, and both run on the 81.4 kWh battery, but they solve different problems.

Wind stays range-focused: FWD range holds at 517 km, and the standard heat pump helps protect that range through cold-weather commuting. Land keeps the same battery and range profile and redirects the money toward equipment instead.

Land FWD ($43,495 MSRP) adds: - 19-inch alloy wheels and a wide sunroof - A smart power liftgate and auto-flush door handles - Synthetic leather seats with a power driver’s seat and lumbar support - An ECM auto-dimming mirror

For a Manitoba driver who wants the longer 517 km range without moving to AWD, Land FWD carries the same battery as Wind FWD plus a longer equipment list for close to the same money as Wind AWD.

GT-Line, GT-Line Limited, And GT: The Premium Tier

GT-Line moves the EV3 into upscale territory. The AWD version keeps the 262 hp / 284 lb-ft dual-motor output, while GT-Line’s cabin adds memory driver seats, a power passenger seat, ventilated front seats, a sport steering wheel, and deluxe pedals over the trims below it.

GT-Line Limited AWD ($52,495 MSRP) carries the same 81.4 kWh battery and 350 kW DC fast-charge capability as the rest of the long-range lineup, plus a 157 mm ground clearance figure shared with the other GT-Line trims, up from the 150 mm on Light, Wind, and Land.

GT AWD ($55,995 MSRP) is the enthusiast trim. Its 288 hp and 345 lb-ft top the lineup’s output figures, and the tune comes with GT-specific styling: neon accent calipers, suede and synthetic leather seats, a GT-themed instrument cluster, and a steering-wheel-mounted GT button for the performance boost.

Matching The Ladder To Manitoba Driving

AWD costs money at every step on the EV3 ladder, and it drops range from 517 km to 451 km each time it’s added. For prairie winters, that trade often pays for itself in traction confidence on snow and ice.

Ground clearance backs that up. GT-Line, GT-Line Limited, and GT trims sit at 157 mm, a step up from the 150 mm on Light, Wind, and Land, and that extra clearance matters on unplowed rural roads across Manitoba.

Cold-weather range protection starts early in the lineup too. Light FWD includes a Battery Heating System as standard equipment, and Wind FWD adds a heat pump on top of that, both aimed at holding onto range and charge speed once temperatures drop.

Choosing The Right 2027 EV3 Trim

The 2027 EV3 lineup spans ten configurations, from a $36,995 Light FWD to a $55,995 GT AWD, and battery size and drivetrain choice shape the price more than trim badges alone. For Manitoba driving, the AWD and range trade-off is worth weighing carefully.
