The Kia EV3 is a battery electric subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) produced by Kia. It is the second Kia model developed on the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and the fourth model in the manufacturer's "EV" electric car line-up after the EV5.
Overview
The EV3 was previewed by the Kia EV3 Concept car which was presented on 12 October 2023 during the manufacturer's Kia EV Day event,[1][2] then exhibited at the LA Auto Show in November.[3][4] The production version was unveiled on the 23 May 2024, with sales set to commence in July 2024 in South Korea.[5][6]
The production EV3 is largely inspired from the concept car and shares a few design elements from the larger EV9. It adopts the brand's 'Opposites United' design philosophy with a 'Digital Tiger Face' front fascia and 'Star Map' signature vertical lighting front and rear.[6]
The interior dashboard has three displays: a 12.3" instrument cluster, a 5" touchscreen for the HVAC controls, and a 12.3" touchscreen infotainment system. There are PET materials used throughout the interior and consumers have the option of recycled fabric materials. Other interior features are a 12-inch head-up display (HUD), a sliding table and storage within the centre console, and a “fold-back relaxation mode” for the front seats.[6]
The EV3 has a 460 L (16 cu ft) boot space which features a two-tier boot floor with over 140mm of flexibility and a frunk storage compartment of 25 L (0.88 cu ft).[6]
The EV3 has Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) safety package combined with Electric Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control (eDTVC) feature, Digital Key 2.0 which allows consumers to use the smartphone instead of a physical keyfob, Remote Smart Parking Assist, and the first Kia model to debut their i-Pedal 3.0 regenerative braking feature.[6]
