Kia EV3: Sustainable mobility, simplified - EV accessibility, amplified.
When we introduced the 2024 Kia EV3 in May, we aimed to make sustainable driving easier and more enjoyable for you. This all-electric SUV is designed with you in mind, featuring the latest technology, a fantastic WLTP driving range of up to 600 km, and quick charging. It’s perfect for your daily commutes and long trips.
With the EV3, we’ve made the transition from a traditional vehicle to an electric one, smooth and hassle-free. You’ll get the convenience and performance you’re used to without compromise.
Our team focused on setting new standards with the EV3. We’ve included smart features like intelligent regenerative braking and the ability to power external devices. Whether you're charging camping gear or enjoying a new driving experience, these features fit right into your lifestyle.
Innovative Regenerative Braking with i-Pedal 3.0
Our new regenerative braking technology, including i-Pedal 3.0 and Smart Regenerative 3.0, enhances your driving pleasure and efficiency. With i-Pedal 3.0, you can control regenerative braking precisely, choosing from levels 0 to 3. Whether you're in traffic, on winding roads, or cruising on the motorway, you can adjust the braking intensity to suit your needs and extend your driving range.
Effortless Driving with a Smart Regenerative System
The EV3’s Smart Regenerative System 3.0 is like having a digital co-pilot. It uses sensors and navigation data to adjust your speed based on road conditions and traffic, ensuring a smoother and more relaxed drive.
Reassuring Range and Aerodynamic Efficiency
Are you concerned about the range? The EV3 has an 81.4 kWh battery that offers up to 600 km on a single charge. We've optimized aerodynamics to reduce drag, so you can travel further on each charge. This means you get exceptional efficiency and confidence for those long trips.
Advanced Charging and Comfort
The EV3 is designed to handle all conditions efficiently. Its advanced heat pump keeps the battery performing well and optimizes charging times, even in cold weather. With rapid charging, you can get from 10 to 80 percent in just 31 minutes. Plus, the compact HVAC system adds extra comfort and space inside the cabin.
Accessible and Innovative Technology
Inside, the EV3 feels like a spacious living room, complete with the latest connectivity features. The Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability lets you power external devices, so you can charge appliances like laptops or coffee machines even when you're off the grid.
Looking ahead, we’ll offer an all-wheel drive (AWD) variant and a GT model, giving you even more options to match your driving preferences and lifestyle.
