Kia EV3 styling
The EV3 boasts a bold and assertive presence. At the front, vertical headlamps located at the edges of the clean-surfaced face create a broad, ultra-confident look. The combination of spacious volume, distinct graphics, and a muscular build blends seamlessly with the overall design.
Kia's iconic Tiger Face design is reimagined with a sturdy fresh look, featuring the brand's latest Star Map signature lighting. The vertically arranged Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) accentuate the Tiger Face design, projecting a highly confident character.
From the side, the EV3 exudes exceptional strength, agility, and dynamism. The long, sloping, sleek roofline flows smoothly into a hatchback-style tailgate, highlighting the technical sophistication of the body design. The dynamic silhouette and roomy cabin create a spacious interior, while the unique interlocking volumes and graphics underscore its innovative character.
Kia EV3 interior and tech
The EV3's interior features a spacious cabin that comfortably seats five. Kia has designed a highly functional and efficient space that exudes a cosy, living room-like atmosphere, ensuring occupants enjoy every journey and even the time spent while the vehicle is charging.
The EV3 boasts a 25-litre “frunk” and a 460-litre rear load capacity, offering the largest luggage space in its class. The adjustable two-tier luggage board provides over 140mm of load height flexibility, making it ideal for activities like family camping trips.
A near 30-inch combined widescreen display features a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a five-inch air-conditioning panel, and another 12.3-inch AVN display. This setup allows seamless touch control of the climate functions and delivers clear graphics and intuitive information to the driver.
The screen extends to the centre of the dashboard, enabling the front-seat passenger to access entertainment and navigation features.
Many of the EV3’s functions, including drive mode, cruise control, entertainment, and navigation, can be easily accessed and controlled via the steering wheel buttons. A seamless row of buttons below the central screen intuitively manages functions like mapping, media, and vehicle system configuration.
