Jon was excellent throughout the process, and really worked hard for me. There was a small price discrepancy, as the “in stock deal” on the website only indicated the price for a base model without any additional options, which was not actually possible to order - which I felt was a little misleading. However, Jon worked up a deal I was happy with, and communicated very well throughout the process - including following up with some issues after delivery. I will definitely use again.
Yeh, good service a bit of headache filling forms couple of times but turn around was very good and with the maintenance cover it’s peace of mind.
What's great: I'm now driving a lovely Lexus at a far more affordable price than I could find elsewhere. My contract includes a full maintenance deal which isn't always available with other providers. The sales process and arranging the finance was a good experience, with lots of support from Dave. Thanks Dave! BUT ... Once the contract had been agreed, communication was terrible. I was told that I would get access to the portal (which is the only way to track progress) 'shortly': it took 2 weeks and multiple phone calls and emails (initiated by me)to gain access. Promises to phone me back were not met. In the end, Dave sorted it out. Thanks Dave. The portal looked promising as it appeared that I could track my car's journey from the factory in Japan to delivery. However, apart from me uploading identity documents to it (not acknowledged until I got in contact), the portal did not change except to put my expected delivery date back a month (no explanation). Then out of the blue, the Lexus dealership phoned me to say that my car was ready for collection. This was surprising as the portal located the car in Japan, and gave me a bit of a dilemma as I needed to get rid of my current car at very short notice (anyone looking for an Audi Q2?). Nothing from Select Car until I contacted them to say where the car was. Their failure to contact me was apparently the Lexus dealership's fault in some way ... which I find hard to believe to be honest. I made the decision to collect the car rather than have it delivered, in order to get a proper dealership handover, which I was told was fine. Only nothing happened until I phoned Select Car and was told that I had to arrange collection directly with the dealer. That was news to me, but I did it, and was then sent regular emails informing me that my car was due to be delivered to my house on that date. A few more phone calls followed to sort that out ... Maybe I just had a poor experience. Maybe if you go for a car that is in stock rather than a factory order the process might be smoother. At the end of the day, I did get my car at a good price and within the original time frame, so on reflection I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. But it was a frustrating journey which some joined-up communications at Select Car would have made a happier overall experience.

First launched in 2024, the EV3 enjoys an impressive range of up to 372 miles between charges as well as generous amounts of power.

About the Kia EV3
Kia says its EV3 has the ‘power to move millions into the EV era’. And if you’re looking for a battery-powered vehicle that marries comfort, range, design and refinement, the EV3 ticks all the right boxes.
The exterior is sleek, sharp and thoroughly modern while the minimalist interior is both loaded with tech and also created with a liberal use of sustainable materials.
With two different battery sizes - 58.3kWh battery and 81.4kWh battery - you can tailor your lease to meet your needs and budget. And with charging speeds up to 128 kW (on long-range versions) you’ll be able to replenish the energy in the battery from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes.
The EV3 sits in Kia's range alongside the slightly larger Kia Niro EV and the larger still Kia EV6.
Why lease a Kia EV3?
The Kia EV3’s bold design immediately attracts the attention, with style cues borrowed from the Korean manufacturer’s flagship EV9.
A Kia EV3 lease will also appeal if you want to enjoy a more sustainable lifestyle without having to compromise on luxuries and creature comforts.
Standard-range models offer a range of up to 267 miles between charges while even entry-level variants come loaded with a 12.3-inch driver display and 12-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 5.3-inch climate control panel, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, heated seats, a reversing camera, and safety-boosting adaptive cruise control.
The Kia EV3 is home to an AI voice assistant which can help you with numerous tasks, from setting the temperature in the cabin to finding a nice cafe nearby.
Higher-spec models also feature Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, which lets you use the car as a battery to power other appliances via a three-pin socket.

Air
Entry-level models feature twin 12.3-inch screens, a separate 5.3-inch climate control touchscreen, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats and steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera system, adaptive cruise control, and Kia’s Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2.0 system.
GT-Line S
The range-topping Kia EV3 GT-Line S variants boast an 8-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system, head-up display, tilting and sliding sunroof, electric front seats with ventilation function, heated rear outer seats, an electric power tailgate, 360-degree camera, remote parking, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L).
