EVO, the low-cost Italian brand created by DR Automobiles, has a very interesting electric SUV at an affordable price in its range. The EVO3 Electric continues its assault on the Spanish market. A model that boasts extensive standard equipment and reliable performance.
The young Italian brand EVO
It began its assault on the Spanish market in the convulsive 2021. In the year marked by the stock crisis in dealerships due to the global shortage of microchips, the low-cost firm created by DR Automobiles managed to register a total of 7 units. Currently, and more specifically so far in 2022, that is, until February, EVO registrations have already reached 5 units.
In its varied offer of cheap SUVs there is a model that stands out especially. The EVO3 Electric. A 100% electric SUV
that boasts extensive equipment, solvent benefits and, above all, an affordable sale price. All this makes it a rival for models such as the Hyundai Kona and even for the DFSK Seres 3 and the KIA e-Niro, among others.
The range and equipment of the new EVO3 Electric
EVO offers a practically closed range. The number of configuration options is minimal. A priori it may seem like a weak point, but nothing is further from the truth. And it is that the brand supplies it with a very extensive standard endowment. The relationship between equipment and price is one of the determining keys of this new battery electric vehicle.

The autonomy of the new EVO3 Electric
The equipment is an important factor, however, and this being an electric car, all attention must be focused on the powertrain. In the bowels of the EVO3 Electric lies a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery made by Samsung. The main objective of this battery is none other than to feed a motor of 85 kW (116 hp) and 270 Nm of maximum torque.
