About the Kia EV3
The EV3 is Kia's affordable compact electric SUV and one of the most talked-about EVs of 2024-25 - long range, clever cabin tech and, unusually, a car that still has physical buttons. Its flat floor and roomy boot make a hidden tracker simple.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the EV3
- Under-floor boot tray - deep and hidden.
- Under the front seats - flat and near power.
- Centre console - within reach of USB-C.
- Power - USB-C or the 12 V socket.
- Signal - the glass roof passes GPS; avoid metal seat rails.
Private by design - no manufacturer cloud, no foreign servers
Modern EVs are permanently connected: the maker's own app knows where your car is and routes that data through its cloud. Our approach is the opposite. Tracking runs entirely on a phone you own, and your location history lives in your own SpySat account. We do not pass it to the car maker and we do not send it to any foreign data centre.
Frequently asked questions

Cost to run?
