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

Sustainability

Sustainability in every cabin detail.

As we innovate towards more sustainable, responsible mobility, we’re making choices big and small to make a real impact. Sustainability is at the core of everything the Kia EV3 stands for, which is reflected in the carefully and consciously chosen materials for every part of the EV3's compact SUV interior.

Kia’s 10 Must-Have Items.

 

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.*

Six stages of textile recycling process: shredded material (1), raw material (2), woven fabric sample (3), textured sample (4), finished fabric (5), person inspecting material (6).

Safety

Intuitive safety features.

Drivers can also enjoy highway assistants to keep them safe at higher speeds and parking assistants to make light work of parking. ¹¹

Highway Assistants

Smart Cruise Control

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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 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)

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.

(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.

These batteries are covered by the Kia warranty for a period of 7 years from initial registration or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first (8 years/100,000 miles for EV models registered from 01/01/2024). 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.  To minimise possible capacity reduction, consult the Owner’s Manual.  For full Kia warranty terms and exclusions click here.

(4)  7-year warranty
