FULL TRIM LEVEL LISTS are in the description if you want to check them out 🤗

Which trim would you choose?

[chrispayne]

I think the centre arm rest is more practical on the Air than that little shelf on the higher trims.

[allanedwards]

GT Line S, HUD essential for me as so used to it, ventilated seats - all the toys!

[mrakronyahoo]

Air trim makes the most sense to me. Not a fan of the slide out table. Will probably go for the long range air trim - 3k more to banish away range anxiety!

[lw]

GT Line S is also the only one where you can option a heat pump, which can have a massive impact on range in cold climates. They need to put that as an option on the Air trim, at least with the bigger battery, so people won't get hit with the luxury car tax.

[narellereed]

Air with bigger battery, Great to the point Review

[gdbarratt]

Forced into GT Line S as the only model with memory seats. When you regularly share a car with your partner it's essential. Cant option it on the lower model!

[francobollei]

In Italy heat pump is an optional already for the Air trim level

[JPerry-vrnk]

I would go with the Air trim... I don't like the tray in-between the front seats. I would never use that, and would prefer more storage. I'm in the US and won't get to see this car until 2026! Unfair!!

[kulviks]

if im looking only at the interior design, i kinda like the Air trim steering wheel nicer, as far as i could see, the buttons arent glossy, and i like the placement of the drive mode selecter better to, also the center console is more practical in the air trim, more storage, ofc i would miss some of the extra tech that comes with the higher trims, but i do like the steering wheel and center console better in the Air trim

[RobertBuckley-tjpx]

My wife needs the electric boot and it is only available on the GT Line S. placed our order and should be with us before Christmas. Traded in her 5 year old GT Line S petrol Sportage with 16, 500 miles on the clock.

[brettmcdonald]

I’d get the air just to avoid gloss black wheel

[rwd]

The small battery Air seems to make most sense for me. The others are too expensive

[rogerfroud]

I've just ordered the Air trim with the larger battery. To be honest, I don't see the point of the middle trim, it doesn't really give you much more, and it pushes the price over £40k with optional paint colour, which is going to cost too much Vehicle Excise Duty. If you got the heat pump, it might be worth it, but that's all. The top of the range is just too expensive, for too little extra.

[colingoode]

Anything but the Air is going to attract Luxury car tax so a no go for me. TBH without a sunroof option the Air would not be on my list either. TBH the EV3 is a tad to big to replace our FL 2022 64kW Kona so I'm waiting for the new Skoda Epic to break cover. Smaller than the Elroq starting at £25k - hopefully.

[kinocchio]

I'd go all out GTLine-S .. still a good price

[edbelyaev]

Tested and configured a number of EVs and ordered basic Air trim back in December, still waiting. For the money of GT line or GT S better to go for ther cars like Nissan Ariya or Skoda, which are bigger and of upper level in and out at the same price point. Or even KIA EV6.
The beauty of Ev3 Air is in low price and high efficiency, it's not a posh thing at all.

[stevieguk]

I have a Kia Niro EV with all the bells and whistles. Have been looking at the EV3 and also the Škoda Elroq with the large battery as I want the extra range. Trouble in UK is that any car over £40k will attract extra car tax from April. Kia have got their specs and pricing wrong and should have put things like head up display on a cheaper model. Škoda Elroq is looking competitive on pricing and finance deals but a lot of their packages are needed to make the car competitive with the EV3.
Be good if you guys could compare the two model line ups.

[Nathanation]

Air spec, bigger battery, in black. Ordered! The toys on the other specs are useful, like remote smart parking (which i'm not sure you mention) digital key support, HUD and 360 camera, however i'm not sure they fully justify the higher price tag. In my opinion the GT line and GTLS should include the toys plus a higher power output/acceleration.

[janpiet]

hi! do you know if the air trim 81kwh has wireless charging and wireless carplay? thanks!
