Kia EV3 - the compact SUV built for every journey.
With a segment-leading range of up to 375 miles on a single charge, the EV3 is designed to go the distance. Whether it’s daily commutes, weekend road trips, or longer journeys, the EV3 has proven capable of it all. And for city dwellers, Kia promises an extended range of up to 479 miles in pure city driving scenarios. This is achieved through an advanced regenerative braking system and i-Pedal technology, enabling drivers to slow down and even come to a full stop without using the brake pedal, maximizing efficiency and convenience.
Kia took special care to ensure the EV3 fits seamlessly into the European driving experience. The vehicle underwent extensive testing on European roads in a range of conditions—city streets, highways, and winding suburban roads. This testing process included rigorous validation of its range and charging efficiency, solidifying the EV3 as one of the most efficient EVs in its class.
Built on Kia’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the EV3 benefits from a stable foundation that enhances ride comfort and handling. The EV3 is also aerodynamically optimized, featuring a boat-tail shape and active air flaps to reduce drag and improve performance.
The Kia EV3’s interior offers a spacious, “living room” feel with features designed to make every journey comfortable and convenient. The triple-screen panoramic dashboard, including two 12.3-inch screens and a 5.3-inch climate control display, combines sleek design with functionality. For maximum comfort, Kia also integrated a highly efficient, compact HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. This design adds six centimeters of extra legroom in the front footwell, ensuring more space for passengers without sacrificing cabin comfort.
Sustainability is at the core of the EV3’s design. An optional trunk liner made from ocean-sourced recycled materials highlights Kia’s commitment to responsible manufacturing. In collaboration with The Ocean Cleanup, Kia is repurposing plastics removed from the Pacific Ocean, with plans to expand the use of recycled materials across its lineup.
The EV3’s “Opposites United” design philosophy merges the best of nature and modernity, achieving a stylish balance that feels both timeless and fresh. Inside, relaxation seats, mood lighting, and thoughtful storage solutions make the EV3 an inviting space. With Kia’s focus on both emotional and rational design elements, the EV3 is as pleasant to drive as it is practical.
The EV3 is also the first Kia vehicle to feature the “Digital Key 2.0” which enables up to seven users to unlock and start the vehicle using a smartphone or smartwatch. This connectivity feature, along with over-the-air updates and video streaming capability, ensures the EV3 remains up-to-date and adaptable to the evolving needs of drivers.

Charging the EV3 is as easy as it is fast, thanks to its 400V fast-charging technology. With the 58.3 kWh battery version, the EV3 can go from 10% to 80% charge in just 29 minutes, while the 81.4 kWh version takes only 31 minutes. For a quick top-up, 15 minutes of charging adds up to 125 miles of range—perfect for drivers on the go. To support this flexibility, Kia has launched Kia Charge, giving drivers access to over 800,000 charging points across 28 European countries.
Kia also includes innovative charging solutions, such as Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, which allows the EV3 to power external devices. This feature enables customers to get more from their EV, whether it’s powering a campsite or supporting tools at a worksite. Additionally, the EV3 is equipped with bi-directional charging options, including Vehicle-to-Grid and Vehicle-to-Home, further enhancing its versatility and making it one of the most accessible EVs for all-around use.
Kia has loaded the EV3 with a suite of cutting-edge technologies aimed at convenience and connectivity. A new Kia In-Car Payment system, debuting in the EV3, allows drivers to locate and pay for parking directly from the vehicle’s navigation screen, thanks to a partnership with Parkopedia.
The EV3 also includes Kia’s advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), designed to make driving safer and easier. With features like Highway Driving Assist 2, Smart Cruise Control 2, and forward collision prevention, the EV3 offers a robust suite of safety features that actively support drivers in various conditions.
Kia’s new AI Assistant, powered by ChatGPT, is also integrated into the EV3, making it the first Kia model with this technology. This virtual assistant offers drivers voice-activated support for everything from answering questions to enhancing understanding of the vehicle’s features, creating a more enjoyable and user-friendly experience.
