Kia’s EV3 could be the best budget EV of 2024

Numerous cheap electric vehicles are waiting to be released in 2024, and Kia's EV3 is at the top of our shopping list.
   - 2024년에는 다양한 싼 전기차들이 출시를 기다리고 있으며, Kia의 EV3가 우리 쇼핑 목록의 꼭대기에 위치하고 있습니다.

You might expect that EVs are always pricey, but that's not true — the spacious EV3 won't break the bank.
   - 전기차가 항상 비싸다고 생각할 수 있지만, 그렇지 않습니다. 넓은 EV3는 예산을 초과하지 않을 것입니다.

The five-seater SUV will be the cheapest EV option developed based on Kia’s EV-dedicated E-GMP modular platform.
   - 다섯 인승 SUV는 Kia의 전기차 전용 E-GMP 모듈 플랫폼을 기반으로 한 가장 저렴한 전기차 옵션 중 하나입니다.

Kia is slated to introduce the car within the first half of 2024.
   - Kia는 2024년 상반기에 이 차를 공개할 예정입니다.

The Kia EV3 will sport a typical Kia look, with slim headlights centered around the car's front sides and the company's logo emblazoned on the hood.
   - Kia EV3는 전형적인 Kia 룩을 갖추고 있으며, 날씬한 헤드라이트가 차의 전면 양쪽을 중심으로 배치되고 회사 로고가 후드에 크게 새겨져 있습니다.

It seems like it will sport the same boxy look as the EV9 in a much smaller body. It, however, won't have rear-hinged back doors, contrary to the original concept design, Kia confirmed.
   - EV9와 유사한 상자 모양의 외관을 가질 것으로 보입니다. 그러나 기아가 확인한 바에 따르면, 원래 컨셉 디자인과 달리 후문에 리어 힌지가 없을 것입니다.

The interior of the EV3 offers a sleek and modern look, with a single large screen stretching across the front of the car.
   - EV3의 내부는 세련되고 현대적인 느낌을 제공하며, 차량 전면에 걸쳐 있는 단일 대형 스크린이 특징입니다.

EV3 reportedly will have 58 kilowatt-hours of lithium-ion battery and accommodates 400-volt charging, though the company has not confirmed specific specs.
   - 보고에 따르면 EV3는 58 킬로와트-시의 리튬이온 배터리를 탑재하고 있으며 400볼트 충전을 지원하나, 회사는 구체적인 사양을 확인하지 않았습니다.

But the EV3's most attractive feature is arguably its price. The car, colloquially referred to as the mini EV9, will cost just a third of its larger sibling's price.
   - 그러나 EV3의 가장 매력적인 특징은 아마도 가격일 것입니다. 이 차는 미니 EV9로 농담처럼 불리며, 큰 형제의 가격의 1/3에 해당하는 가격으로 판매될 것입니다.

MSRP is highly likely to start at some 40 million won ($31,000), which will allow Korean drivers to purchase it at the 30 million won range with the government's EV credits. That will price the product below the Niro EV, which starts at 51.14 million won.
   - 제조사 권장 소비자 가격(MSRP)은 4천만 원(31,000달러) 정도로 시작될 것으로 보이며, 이로써 한국 운전자들은 정부의 전기차 크레딧을 이용해 3천만 원대에 이 차를 구매할 수 있을 것입니다. 이는 Niro EV의 가격(51.14백만 원)을 아래로 책정할 것입니다.

The U.S. starting price tag is reported to be around $30,000. Global release dates are still to be announced.
    - 미국의 출발 가격은 약 30,000달러로 보고되고 있습니다. 전 세계적인 출시 일정은 아직 발표되지 않았습니다.

When it comes to the vehicle's range, however, you should keep your expectations low. Kia is highly likely to equip the EV3 with lithium iron phosphate batteries, which will give it a shorter range than the EV6.
    - 그러나 차량의 주행 거리에 관해서는 기대치를 낮추는 것이 좋습니다. Kia는 EV3에 리튬 철 인산염 배터리를 장착할 것으로 보이며, 이는 EV6보다 짧은 주행 거리를 제공할 것입니다.

Hopefully the base configuration will offer at least 300 miles to a charge, with higher-range models available.
    - 기본 설정이 최소 300마일의 주행 거리를 제공할 것을 희망하며, 높은 주행 거리 모델도 제공될 것입니다.

=> I was initially very skeptical about electric vehicles (EVs), considering them expensive and challenging to charge. However, after experiencing the ride on an EV, the comfort and smoothness were impressive, and it completely changed my perspective. Similarly, with the introduction of affordable EVs like Kia's EV3, more people around the world will likely embrace electric vehicles, leading to a growing community of EV users.
