Design

Thoughtfully styled. Ideally sized.

Drawing on Kia's design philosophy "Opposites United", the EV3 carves out its own uniquely progressive identity in a compact crossover form. With a future-facing exterior that is both playful and thoughtful. Enveloping an open interior space that emphasizes restorative relaxation for every journey.

Exterior

• Robust and purposeful EV character : The EV3's self-assured stance is immediately apparent, emphasized by the assertive, wide presence of the clean-surface bonnet. With differentiated graphics exuding a muscular sophistication.
• Star map signature lighting concept: Borrowing from the Kia EV9 seven-seater flagship, this confident LED light signature features the latest ultra-slim and vertically aligned Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), which emphasize 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. With 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 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.
• Large interior displays: In keeping with the serene ambience, the uncluttered, floating 30" widescreen display is designed to provide an intuitive and immersive driving experience. Complete with integrated media controls and horizontal air-vent channel.
• Class-leading trunk space: Besides its generous cabin dimensions, the EV3 also offers an impressive luggage capability of 460 litres, in addition to 25 litres of convenient frunk storage. For all the space and flexibility to transport whatever any cargo you want.

Sustainability

Sustainability in every cabin detail.

As we innovate towards more sustainable, responsible mobility, we’re making choices big and small to make real impact. Sustainability is at the core of everything the EV3 stands for. Reflected too in the carefully and consciously chosen materials for every part of the interior.

Safety

Intuitive safety features.

Innovated for a new standard of protection and assistance: Advanced safety technologies include anti-collision assistants that detect collision risks before they occur. Highway assistants to keep you safe at higher speeds. And parking assistants to make light work of parking. ^¹¹

Highway assistants

• Smart Cruise Control 2 (SCC 2): This technology helps to maintain a safe speed, at a set distance from the vehicle ahead, and 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. And 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 limits. 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): HDA 2 with HoD automatically adapts your target speed to meet the limit, while keeping you at a safe distance from the 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 lane automatically when you use the side indicator. (GT-line)

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. (Earth K3, GT-line)
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA): FCA 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 it automatically. This technology also helps you avoid collisions with an oncoming vehicle while turning at an intersection or crossing it, as well as in other driving scenarios.

Parking assistants

• Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward/Reverse (PCA): Parking or exiting a space is no hassle at all in the EV3, with the Parking Assist Forward Reverse function, which 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.
