Whether you're looking for a traditional combustion car, a hybrid or a full-electric vehicle, Kia has brought a little something for everyone to the 2026 New York Auto Show.

CNET News is the main source layer for now, and the rest should be read as a signal that is still widening. The useful angle sits in the effect on user behavior, revenue flow, or how platforms compete for attention on screen.

The details worth keeping

Whether you're looking for a traditional combustion car, a hybrid or a full-electric vehicle, Kia has brought a little something for everyone to the 2026 New York Auto Show. On Wednesday, we saw the debut of the all-new 2027 Kia Seltos and Seltos HEV variant, as well as the North American debut of the all-electric 2027 Kia EV3 compact electric SUV, all expected to arrive later this year. The arrival of these small and, hopefully, inexpensive SUVs is a welcome sight at a time when many automakers are canceling their most affordable models and small EVs. The EV3 originally debuted in 2023 before going on sale first in Europe and South Korea in 2024. This year, drivers in the US finally get their turn in the driver's seat of the subcompact electric SUV. The EV3 slots into the automaker's North American EV lineup below the Kia EV6 -- one of my favorite EVs on the road today -- and will be powered by a 400-volt version of Hyundai Motor Group's dedicated E-GMP electric vehicle architecture . From bumper-to-bumper, the EV3 is about 15 inches shorter than the EV6, but its more upright silhouette means the subcompact's cargo and passenger volume is comparable (only 4% less.). The useful angle sits in the effect on user behavior, revenue flow, or how platforms compete for attention on screen.
