Kia Chooses Mexico for EV3 Production, Targeting US Market
Kia will manufacture its World Car of the Year-winning EV3 compact electric SUV in Mexico, a strategic move that avoids recent US immigration enforcement issues at Hyundai's Georgia battery plant. The EV3 offers up to 320 miles of range, NACS charging, and a base price around $35,000, positioning it as a strong contender for US buyers.
