The EV3's self-assured stance is immediately apparent, emphasised by the assertive, wide presence of the clean-surface bonnet. Meanwhile, the differentiated graphics exude a muscular sophistication.
Borrowing from the Kia Kia EV9 seven-seater flagship, this confident LED light signature features ultra-slim and vertically aligned Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), which emphasise a new, robust interpretation of Kia's iconic Tiger Face design.
In profile, the EV3 projects an aura of exceptional strength and agility. The long, sloping, sleek roofline seamlessly transitions into a hatchback-style tailgate. It also features strong muscular lines, bold wheel-arches, and flush front and integrated rear door handles.
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.
The EV3's spacious, minimalist cabin is filled with thoughtful design details to maximise your comfort. These include the sliding table console, comfortable and ergonomic seating, and clever storage solutions, along with customisable ambient lighting that imbues a sense of calm.
In keeping with the EV3's serene ambience, the uncluttered, floating 30" widescreen display is designed to provide an intuitive and immersive driving experience - complete with integrated media controls and a horizontal air-vent channel.
Besides its generous cabin dimensions, the Kia EV3 also offers an impressive amount of boot space at 460 litres, in addition to 25 litres of convenient frunk storage. This provides you with all the space and flexibility to transport whatever cargo you want.
Choose from two different range variants to suit your personal requirements, with both featuring different sized high-voltage batteries. The Kia EV3 Air Standard Range model comes with a 58.3kWh battery, while the Air, GT-Line and GT-Line S variants are fitted with an 81.4kWh battery. Both models utilise a 150kW/283Nm electric motor, which enables a best 0-62mph acceleration time of 7.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 105mph. 1
Kia's engineers have set high standards in energy efficiency with the EV3, creating the first model in the compact Kia 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.
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.
Kia has defined 10 Must-Have Items to guarantee the implementation of sustainability at scale. As with every new Kia, the EV3 features all of them. These upcycled and plant-based materials respect nature and reduce the impact on the environment, all while bringing a new level of comfort and style to the EV3's sleek interior.
Recycled fabric is applied to the dashboard and door trims to create an intimate and home-like ambience. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is among the most easily recycled plastics in the world, features in numerous areas of the interior, including the seats, headliner, door armrests, garnish, floor mats, and luggage board.*
This technology helps to maintain a safe speed, at a set distance from the vehicle ahead 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. 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.
ISLA gives you all the necessary information to help you stay within the speed limit. Using the camera on the windscreen, it reads speed limits and overtaking restrictions and displays the information clearly on the navigation screen and cluster.
HAD 2 with HoD automatically adapts your target speed to meet the limit while keeping you at a safe distance from any 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 lanes automatically when you use the side indicator.
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.
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 so automatically. This technology also helps you avoid collisions with an oncoming vehicle while turning or crossing at an intersection, as well as in other driving scenarios.
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.
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 or exiting a space is no hassle at all in the EV3. The Parking Assist Side Forward Reverse function 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.
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 with a tap of your smart key.
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.

In order to achieve the maximum charging speed, EV3 must be charged at an 400-volt electric vehicle charger that delivers at least 150kW of electricity. The acceleration time of 7.5 seconds corresponds to the standard range battery. In the case of the long-range battery, the acceleration time will be 7.7 seconds.
The actual charging speed and charging time depend on battery temperature and weather conditions.
Electricity consumption (kWh/100 km) combined from 14.9 to 16.2, CO2-Emission (g/km) combined is 0. Electricity consumption combined: [14.9-16.2] kWh/100 km; CO2-emissions combined: [0] g/km; CO2-class: [5]. The specified consumption and emission values were determined according to the legally prescribed measurement procedures (EU) 2017/1153. The above values have been tested in the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP); however, may not reflect real-world driving conditions. Actual energy consumption during driving may vary.
The range was determined according to the standardised EU measurement procedure (WLTP) on EV3 Air Grade. The individual driving style and other factors, such as speed, outside temperature, topography and the use of electricity-consuming devices/units, have an influence on the real-life range and can possibly reduce it.
