Design

Drawing on Kia’s design philosophy, “Opposites United”, the new EV3 carves out its own uniquely progressive identity in a compact crossover form. This compact SUV features a future-facing exterior that is both playful and thoughtful, along with an open interior space that emphasizes restorative relaxation on every journey.

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.

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.

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.

Sustainability

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.

Safety

Innovated for a new standard of protection and assistance, the Kia EV3's advanced safety technologies include anti-collision assistants that detect collision risks before they occur. Drivers can also enjoy highway assistants to keep them safe at higher speeds and parking assistants to make light work of parking. ¹¹

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.

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 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.
