Robust and purposeful EV character

The EV3’s self-assured stance is immediately apparent, emphasized by the assertive, wide presence of the clean-surface bonnet. With differentiated graphics exuding a muscular sophistication.

Star Map signature lighting concept

Borrowing from the Kia EV9 seven-seater flagship, this confident LED light signature features the latest ultra-slim and vertically aligned Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), which emphasize a new, robust interpretation of Kia’s iconic Tiger Face design.

Dynamic silhouette with floating roof effect

In profile, the EV3 projects an aura of exceptional strength and agility. The long, sloping, sleek roofline seamlessly transitions into a hatchback-style tailgate. With strong muscular lines, bold wheel-arches, and flush front and integrated rear door handles.

Balancing dynamism from behind

The high-tech and assertive form language continues at the rear. A simplified, geometric rear lamp design seamlessly integrates with the rear glass, framing a futuristic tailgate with a wide, technical, and sleek look that echoes the front lighting signature.

Large interior displays

In keeping with the serene ambience, the uncluttered, floating 30“ widescreen display is designed to provide an intuitive and immersive driving experience. Complete with integrated media controls and horizontal air-vent channel.

Class-leading trunk space

Besides its generous cabin dimensions, the EV3 also offers an impressive luggage capability of 460 litres, in addition to 25 litres of convenient frunk storage. For all the space and flexibility to transport whatever any cargo you want.

Two powerful models available

Choose from two different range variants to suit your personal requirements, both featuring different sized high-voltage batteries. The EV3 Standard model is offered exclusively with a 58.3kWh battery, while the EV3 Long Range variant is fitted with an 81.4kWh battery. Both models utilise a 150kW/283Nm electric motor, which enables a best 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 170km/h. ¹

Turn your EV3 into an energy provider

Kia’s engineers have set brand new standards in energy efficiency with the EV3. Making it the first model in the compact EV SUV segment to offer Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) charging. This turns your EV3 into a portable energy source wherever you are, giving you the freedom and flexibility to power external devices such as laptops, small fridges, coffee machines or hairdryers.

Smart charging solution: Kia Plug&Charge

Extra-fast, seamless and secure, this innovative technology lets you connect your EV3 with any Plug&Charge-capable public charging station. Authentication and payment are fully automated without the need for a card, so you can simply plug in and start charging instantaneously. *
* Plug & Charge is available only on selected public DC fast chargers.

Smart Cruise Control 2 (SCC 2)

This technology helps to maintain a safe speed, at a set distance from the vehicle ahead, and according to road conditions while driving on an expressway or highway. It automatically reduces the speed in sections of highways with tight curves, in order to keep the driver and passengers safe. And it resumes acceleration to pre-set levels thereafter. If SCC 2 detects that you are unresponsive behind the wheel, it activates the braking system to bring the EV3 to a complete stop in the centre of its lane, displays warning signals inside and outside the car, and automatically unlocks the doors.

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA)

ISLA gives you all the necessary information to help you stay within the speed limits. Using the camera on the windscreen, it reads speed limits and overtaking restrictions, and displays the information clearly on the navigation screen and cluster.

Highway Driving Assist 2 with Hands-On Detection (HDA 2)

HDA 2 with HoD automatically adapts your target speed to meet the limit, while keeping you at a safe distance from the vehicles ahead. The upgraded hands-on detection sensors on the steering wheel detect whether you are touching it, even without movement. HDA 2 is even capable of changing lane automatically when you use the side indicator.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)

BCA warns you if there is a risk of collision with a rear side vehicle in the blind-spot while changing lanes. When forward exiting a parallel-parking spot, if there is a risk of collision with a vehicle approaching from behind, it automatically assists with emergency braking.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2.0 (FCA 2.0)

FCA 2.0 gives you added peace of mind and helps you to avoid any potential collisions with pedestrians, cyclists and other cars on the road. If you are not applying the brakes hard enough to avoid a collision, your EV3 will do it automatically. This technology also helps you avoid collisions with an oncoming vehicle while turning at an intersection or crossing it, as well as in other driving scenarios.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)

Back out of a parking space or driveway simply and easily. With the RCCA system, you will get an alert that warns if cars or pedestrians are passing behind your vehicle. If there’s any risk of a collision, the system will automatically brake.

Lane Following Assist 2 (LFA 2)

LFA2 monitors the lane markings and/or vehicles in front on the road, and assists your steering if necessary to help keep your EV3 centred in its lane. This enhanced second-generation technology now also features a Hands-On Detection (HoD) sensor, which detects if you let go of the steering wheel for several seconds and activates a warning signal to remind you to place your hands back on.

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward/Side/Reverse (PCA)

Parking or exiting a space is no hassle at all in the EV3, with the Parking Assist Side Forward Reverse function, which warns you of pedestrians or objects close to the vehicle. If the risk of collision increases after this warning, it automatically assists with emergency braking.

Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA)

Discover a new level of ease when navigating in and out of tight spots. The remote parking function does the hard work for you – letting you manoeuvre in a straight line in and out of spaces from outside your EV3 – all at the tap of your smart key.

Widescreen display for all your individual needs

Encompassing a 12.3” driver instrument cluster, a 5.3” air-conditioning touchscreen panel, and another 12.3” navigation touchscreen (CCnC), the panoramic display extends to the centre of the dashboard, giving the driver and front-seat passenger access to intuitive infotainment and navigation features. Including the advanced EV Route Planner that suggests the best charging points along your route.

Video streaming capability & superior sound system

Enjoy your favourite entertainment content in the comfort of your EV3 with our premium streaming services ¹⁰. Thanks to the ultra-wide panorama display and Harman Kardon Sound System, it is like having your own immersive in-car cinema or entertainment lounge.

Digital Key 2.0

Add even more convenience to your journeys with the Kia Digital Key. It allows you to access and start your EV3 using your smartphone. You can store the key in your digital wallet and share it with multiple drivers for easy access to the car – without having to reach into your pocket for your phone.

Wireless smartphone charger & USB-C fast charge ports

The EV3 makes sure everyone on board enjoys all-round convenience at all times. This includes wireless charging on the central console for front passengers and handy, fast-charging USB-C ports integrated in the back panels of the front seats.
