The Future of Electric SUVs is Here: Introducing the Innovative Kia EV3

With the unveiling of the all-new EV3, Kia is revolutionizing the compact electric SUV segment. This groundbreaking vehicle combines bold design, cutting-edge technology, and an unparalleled driving experience, setting a new benchmark for what an EV SUV can be.

At its core, the EV3 draws inspiration from Kia’s acclaimed EV9 SUV, inheriting its innovative technology and customer-focused values. However, the EV3 carves out its own distinct identity, offering a unique and immersive experience tailored specifically for the compact SUV segment.

Exterior Design: A Statement of Confidence

The EV3’s exterior design is a masterclass in Kia’s “Opposites United” philosophy, blending dynamic aesthetics with thoughtful functionality. The assertive stance, accentuated by vertical headlamps and Kia’s iconic Tiger Face design with Star Map signature lighting, exudes a sense of power and confidence.

In profile, the sleek roofline seamlessly transitions into a hatchback-style tailgate, creating a dynamic silhouette that hints at the spacious interior. The rear aspect completes the futuristic form language with a simplified, geometric rear lamp design integrated into the tailgate.

Interior Sanctuary: Nature-Inspired Tranquility

Step inside the EV3, and you’ll discover a cabin designed to be a sanctuary on every journey. The spacious interior comfortably accommodates five people while offering innovative features that elevate the driving experience.

The standout feature is the elegant center console with a sliding table and storage area, allowing occupants to work, dine, or simply relax while the vehicle is parked and charging. The multi-adjustable ambient lighting and ultra-comfortable seats with a fold-back relaxation mode further enhance the sense of tranquillity.

Electric Prowess: Efficiency and Performance

Powered by Kia’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and fourth-generation battery technology, the EV3 offers two battery options: a 58.3kWh Standard and an 81.4kWh Long Range variant. Both models feature a 150kW electric motor, enabling a brisk 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.5 seconds.

But what truly sets the EV3 apart is its remarkable efficiency and range. The Long Range variant boasts a best-in-class 600km driving range (WLTP), alleviating range anxiety and making it suitable for even the longest journeys. And when it’s time to recharge, the advanced Vehicle Charging Management System enables the battery to charge from 10-80% in approximately 31 minutes.

Technology for a Superior Driving Experience

The EV3 is packed with advanced safety, driving, and convenience features typically reserved for larger electric SUVs. From Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) like eDTVC Electric Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, to Remote Smart Parking Assist and a 12-inch Head-up Display, the EV3 elevates the driving experience to new heights.

Additionally, Kia introduces Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) charging and Digital Key 2.0 to the compact EV SUV segment, allowing you to power external devices and unlock/start the vehicle using only your smartphone or smartwatch.

Connectivity and Customization Redefined

The EV3 redefines in-car connectivity and entertainment, offering a holistic suite of features designed for the modern driver. Enjoy premium streaming content and arcade games on the near-30-inch widescreen display, complemented by the immersive sound of the Harman Kardon audio system.

Kia even allows you to personalize the EV3’s interior with NBA team-inspired Display Themes, accessible through the digital Kia Connect Store. And with the introduction of Kia’s AI Assistant technology, you can interact with and control the vehicle’s features more intuitively than ever before.
