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.
Extra-long journeys. Ultra-fast charging.
The EV3 offers the everyday convenience and practicality you need whilst enjoying all the benefits of electric driving. Enjoy complete confidence to tackle long journeys – with an impressive all-electric range of up to 605km [RS1] on a single charge. This means you could travel from Paris to Geneva without having to stop for an additional charge.
Charging won’t need to slow you down, with speedy, seamless charging of 10-80 percent in approximately 31 minutes*.
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.
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.
Highway Assistants
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)
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.
Anti-Collision Assistants
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 1.5 (FCA 1.5)
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 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.
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.
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)
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.
