About the Kia EV3
The Kia EV3 is a dedicated electric compact crossover built on the 400V variant of the E-GMP platform. Launched in 2024, it translates the 'Opposites United' design language of the larger EV9 into a more accessible footprint, featuring distinctive 'Star Map' LED lighting and a boxy, aerodynamic silhouette. The GT-Line trim with the 81.4kWh Long Range battery offers a competitive WLTP range of up to 347 miles. Inside, it debuts Kia's i-Pedal 3.0 and a sustainable cabin featuring recycled materials and a sliding console table, positioning it as a highly practical entry point into the brand's EV lineup.
