With an award-winning EV lineup spanning from compact SUVs to seven-seat family hauliers, backed by an industry-leading seven-year warranty, Kia offers something for every driver.
Through salary sacrifice, these impressive electric vehicles become dramatically more affordable – and insurance, servicing, tyres, and 24/7 breakdown cover come included.
Here are some of the most popular Kia EVs purchased through salary sacrifice.
Kia EV3: Compact Efficiency
Starting P11D: From approximately £33,000
Range: Up to 375 miles (WLTP)
Battery: 58.3kWh or 81.4kWh
Who It’s For
The EV3 is Kia’s compact electric SUV, perfect for urban commuting and family duties. Despite its relatively compact dimensions, it offers impressive interior space thanks to its dedicated EV platform with a flat floor. Without a raised centre console tunnel, the middle-seat passenger enjoys full legroom and easier access across the cabin.
Real-World Salary Sacrifice Costs
Example: EV3 with 81.4kWh battery
- List price: £36,000 (approximate mid-spec)
- Standard lease cost inc Insurance & Early Termination: £802/month
- Basic-rate taxpayer: Around £595/month after tax savings
- Higher-rate taxpayer: Around £500/month after tax savings
What you’re getting: A family SUV with 375-mile range, heated seats, heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, and advanced driver assistance – all included in that monthly cost with insurance and servicing covered.
Kia EV4: Stylish Efficiency
Starting P11D: From £32,245
Range: Up to 380+ miles (WLTP)
Battery: 58.3kWh or 81.0kWh
The Long-Range Champion
The EV4 is Kia’s longest-range EV, with the entry-level Air trim achieving over 380 miles on a single charge. It’s a mid-sized hatchback that breaks the mould with its distinctive styling and European-tuned dynamics.
Salary Sacrifice Breakdown
Example: EV4 Air with 81.0kWh battery
- List price: £36,500 (approximate)
- Standard lease cost inc Insurance & Early Termination: £729/month
- Basic-rate taxpayer: Around £543/month after tax savings
- Higher-rate taxpayer: Around £459/month after tax savings
The advantage: Class-leading range combined with lower running costs. Perfect for drivers who cover significant miles and want to minimise charging stops.
Kia EV6: The Driver’s Choice
Starting P11D: From £39,235
Range: Up to 361 miles (RWD) / 339 miles (AWD)
Battery: 63kWh or 84kWh
Performance Meets Practicality
The EV6 balances sporty handling with family-friendly space. Ultra-fast 800V charging means 10-80% in just 18 minutes, and the updated 84kWh battery delivers a genuine 300+ mile real-world range.
What You’ll Pay Through Salary Sacrifice
Example: EV6 Air RWD with 84kWh battery
- List price: £45,585
- Standard lease cost inc Insurance & Early Termination: £904/month
- Basic-rate taxpayer: Around £673/month after tax savings
- Higher-rate taxpayer: Around £569/month after tax savings
Example: EV6 GT-Line AWD
- List price: £52,000 (approximate)
- Standard lease cost inc Insurance & Early Termination: £943/month
- Basic-rate taxpayer: Around £703/month after tax savings
- Higher-rate taxpayer: Around £595/month after tax savings
Why it’s worth it: The EV6 genuinely handles like a driver’s car, not just a sensible electric SUV. Add in the lightning-fast charging, and it’s one of the most complete EVs available.
Kia EV9: Seven-Seat Flagship
Starting P11D: From approximately £65,000
Range: Up to 349 miles (RWD) / 313 miles (AWD)
Battery: 99.8kWh
The Premium Family Haulier
Kia’s seven-seat flagship offers lounge-style comfort across three rows, ultra-fast charging, and interior quality that rivals premium German brands – at a significantly lower price point.
Salary Sacrifice Makes Luxury Accessible
Example: EV9 Air RWD (seven-seat)
- List price: £65,000
- Standard lease cost inc Insurance & Early Termination: £1,271/month
- Basic-rate taxpayer: Around £948/month after tax savings
- Higher-rate taxpayer: Around £802/month after tax savings
Example: EV9 GT-Line S AWD (top spec)
- List price: £75,000+
- Standard lease cost: £1,495/month
- Basic-rate taxpayer: Around £1,115/month after tax savings
- Higher-rate taxpayer: Around £944/month after tax savings
The reality check: Yes, these are still substantial monthly payments. But compare them to traditional PCP finance on a £70,000+ SUV, where you’d pay similar amounts without insurance, servicing, tyres, or 24/7 breakdown cover included. Through salary sacrifice, a higher-rate taxpayer saves over £6,600 annually on the EV9.
Why Choose Kia Through Salary Sacrifice?
Industry-Leading Warranty
Every Kia EV comes with a seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty covering the entire vehicle, plus an eight-year, 100,000-mile battery warranty. This transferable warranty adds significant value to used Kias and provides genuine peace of mind.
800V Ultra-Fast Charging
Kia’s E-GMP platform (used in EV6 and EV9) supports 800V charging architecture. In practical terms, that means adding 100 miles of range in roughly 10 minutes at a capable charger – genuinely comparable to a petrol station stop.
Award-Winning Design
Kia’s “Opposites United” design philosophy has earned industry recognition. The EV9 won the prestigious 2024 World Car of the Year award and was named 2024 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year, whilst the EV6 secured the 2022 European Car of the Year title along with multiple international accolades. These aren’t just sensible choices – they’re genuinely desirable cars.
Real-World Range
Kia’s Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) range figures translate well to real-world driving. WLTP provides a more accurate assessment of real-world performance than older testing methods, using varied driving conditions and temperatures to give buyers realistic expectations. The EV6, for example, delivers a genuine 270-300 mile range in mixed driving, whilst the EV9 comfortably achieves 230-250 miles in everyday use.
Is Salary Sacrifice Right For You?
It Works Best If You:
- Are a basic, higher, or additional-rate taxpayer
- Plan to stay with your employer for the lease duration (typically 3-4 years)
- Want an all-inclusive package with no surprise costs
- Value convenience alongside significant savings
- You value total convenience (this scheme is perfect for those who want insurance, servicing, 24/7 breakdown cover, and tyres bundled into one simple, tax-free payment rather than managing them separately).
Consider Carefully If:
- You might change jobs in the next 1-2 years (though early termination protection often applies).
- Your salary would drop below the National Minimum Wage after the deduction.
- You’re balancing a mortgage application (since salary sacrifice reduces your gross pay on paper, it’s often best to secure your mortgage offer first).
- You prefer owning vehicles outright.
