A showcase of the best of Kia’s design and technology, the Kia EV3 comes with an attractive P 1,898,000 price tag. And with its list of standard features, it’s the answer for millennials looking for a versatile and sustainable drive for everyday life.

Let’s talk shop first. The Kia EV3 is powered by a single PMSM electric motor putting out 204 horsepower and 283 Nm of torque. This gives it class-leading acceleration (0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds) that can make even daily commutes exciting.

The EV3 packs a 58.3 kWh lithium-ion battery offering up to 511 kilometers of range (NEDC) on a single charge. Further dispelling range anxiety, it uses the widely accepted CCS Type 2 port means it can be charged conveniently, including at ACMobility’s EV charging hubs across the country (29 minutes for a 10-80 percent charge using a 350-kW DC charger) or at home (10-80 percent in 5 hours 20 minutes using an 11-kW AC charger).

The EV3 commands attention thanks to the way it looks.

The Opposites United design language gives it a highly distinctive style thanks to its bold surfaces, sharp lines, and futuristic silhouette. It looks great, and experts seem to agree. Not only is it a finalist for World Car Design of the Year, the EV3 received the Red Dot Design Award for “Best of the Best.” It’s also a recipient of the iF Design Award.

The EV3 comes in no less than 7 colors: Adventurine Green, Terra Cotta, Frost Blue, Ivory Silver, Shale Gray, Aurora Black Pearl, and Snow White Pearl.

It comes standard with auto on/off multi-reflector LED headlights with daytime running lights, a functional roof rack, 17-inch alloy wheels with 215/60R17 tires, and LED rear combination lamps with a rear fog lamp.

Built on Kia’s dedicated E-GMP platform, the EV3 isn’t an entry-level compromise. It’s a direct descendant of world-renowned electric icons such as the EV5, EV6, and EV9.

Despite its compact 4.3-meter footprint, its wheelbase stretches to 2.68 meters—making it just as large as your typical compact SUV. With that, it offers a versatile and accessible layout with a lounge-like interior living space.

Depending on the exterior color, the EV3 comes in two interior colorways: Dark Blue or Subtle Gray.

Technology and ergonomics come together with the 30-inch Wide Screen. This combines the 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and a dedicated 5.3-inch air conditioning panel. Not only is it easy to use, but the unified graphic interface gives a sense of consistency wherever you look.

In terms of handling, the EV3 is effortless. Kia engineers managed to give it independent suspension all around and it even comes outfitted with high-performance dampers on both ends, helping achieve a sense of balance.

Oh, and when it comes to safety, the EV3 does have a full complement of active and passive safety features such as 6 SRS airbags, ABS with EBD, stability control with hill-start assist, front & rear parking sensors, and a rearview monitor with dynamic guidelines.

It also has standard Kia Drivewise, the suite of Advanced Driver Assistance System with functions such as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and more.

Aside from its P 1,898,000 price tag, the EV3 promises a very low running cost—as low as P 2.4 per kilometer for the first five years. It also comes with a 5 year or 160,000-kilometer bumper-to-bumper warranty and an 8 year or 160,000-kilometer battery warranty. Kia’s even offering complimentary 24/7 roadside assistance.
