The Kia EV3 cuts a stylish figure, blending function with modern touches. It borrows design cues from its bigger sibling, the EV9, with a signature blanked-off grille for a clean look. Sleek L-shaped LED daytime running lights flow into the “tiger-nose” fascia, flanked by sharp headlights. Choose from nine colors, including earthy hues like Aventurine Green, to personalize your ride. Stylish 19-inch wheels with a two-spoke design complete the EV3’s modern look.
The Kia EV3 rides on the E-GMP platform, utilizing a 400-volt architecture. It stretches 4,300 mm (169.3 inches) in length, 1,850 mm (72.8 inches) in width, and stands 1,560 mm (61.4 inches) tall. The wheelbase measures a comfortable 2,680 mm (105.5 inches). Two battery pack options are available: a standard 58.3 kWh unit and a larger 81.4 kWh pack for the Long Range variant. Power comes from a single electric motor generating a healthy 201 horsepower (150 kW / 204 PS) and 283 Nm (209 lb-ft) of torque. With this setup, Kia claims the EV3 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in a brisk 7.5 seconds.
The EV3’s cabin offers a high-tech haven with a massive panoramic display. This combines dual 12.3-inch screens for infotainment and instruments, with a separate touchscreen for climate control. Steering wheel controls keep things clean, while a center console provides storage and a handy fold-out table. This tech-forward SUV is confirmed for North America, expected to arrive in late 2025 or early 2026 with a starting price around $30,000 to $35,000.
