Exterior
Robust and purposeful EV character
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.
Star Map signature lighting concept
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.
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. It also features 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.
Interior
Nature-inspired “Living Space” appeal
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.
Large interior displays
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.
Class-leading boot space
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.
Current offers
Extra-long journeys. Ultra-fast charging.
Two powerful models available
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
Turn your EV3 into an energy provider
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.
Smart charging solution: Kia Plug&Charge
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.
A cabin crafted with purpose.

Intuitive safety features.
Highway Assistants
Smart Cruise Control 2 (SCC 2)
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.
Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA)
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.
Highway Driving Assist 2 with Hands-On Detection (HDA 2)
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.
Anti-Collision Assistants
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 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.
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 Assistants
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward/Side/Reverse (PCA)
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.
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 with a tap of your smart key.
Create your own inspiring journey.
Connectivity Features
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.

Video streaming capability & superior sound system

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

(1) Maximum charging speed
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.
(2) Driving Range
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.

For low voltage batteries (48V and 12V) in mild-hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV), the Kia warranty covers a period of 2 years from initial registration regardless of mileage. For EVs and PHEVs only, Kia guarantees a 70% capacity of the battery. Capacity reduction for the battery in HEV and MHEV is not covered by the warranty.
