The Kia EV3, a compact electric SUV tailored for European roads, embodies the next phase of Kia’s electric transformation. Drawing inspiration from the award-winning EV6 and EV9, this model is designed to blend efficiency, practicality, and modernity at a more accessible price point.
Built on Kia's Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the EV3 delivers impressive performance with two battery options: a 58.3 kWh pack offering 270 miles of range and an 81.4 kWh pack extending up to 375 miles. Optimized for urban environments, the EV3's range can stretch to an astounding 479 miles in city driving thanks to regenerative braking and i-Pedal technology. Fast-charging capabilities allow an 80% charge in under 30 minutes, keeping pace with busy European lifestyles.
The EV3’s exterior design adopts a futuristic yet minimalist aesthetic, heavily influenced by the EV9. Bold lines, a "Star Map" lighting signature, and an aerodynamic profile enhance its appeal. Inside, the spacious cabin features a “living room” ambiance with a triple-screen display setup, including a head-up display and separate climate controls. Sustainable materials and clever space utilization make the interior inviting and functional.
Tech-forward features like bi-directional charging (supporting Vehicle-to-Load and Vehicle-to-Home applications), over-the-air updates, and an efficient HVAC system highlight Kia’s focus on usability. Generous standard equipment includes advanced safety features, heated seats, and a wireless smartphone charger, while higher trims add a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and 360-degree cameras.
