Kia EV3 Electric Motor And Battery Specifications

When launched in the global market, Kia will offer the EV3 in 2 variants – Standard and Long Range – with 2 battery pack options – 58.3kWh and 81.4kWh.

Both variants of the Kia EV3 produce 204PS of power and 283Nm of torque. Kia claim the  EV3 Long Range will offer a claimed range of up to 600km. The driving range of the EV3 Standard variant is yet to be revealed.

Kia claim the EV3 will complete the 0-100kmph sprint in 7.5 seconds. The carmaker also claims the EV3’s battery will charge from 10 - 80% in just 31 minutes using a DC fast charger. Other features of the EV3 include vehicle-to-load (V2L), which allows owners to plug in large electronic appliances. The EV3 also feature one-pedal driving.

Kia EV3 Dimensions And Design

Compared to the Kia Seltos C-segment SUV, the EV3 is 65mm shorter in length, 50mm wider, 85mm shorter in height and has a 70mm longer wheelbase.

In terms of design, the production-spec EV3 looks similar to the EV3 concept unveiled in 2023. Up front, the EV3 features a closed-off grille. The horizontal section of the LED DRLs are connected by a thin cooling slit while the horizontal LED DRLs double up as turn indicators. The headlamps get LED illumination as well.

Around the side, the new EV3 features thick body cladding and aero-optimised alloy wheels. The roof gets a floating effect thanks to blacked-out A-, B-, and C-pillars. Roof rails and a shark fin antenna round off the side profile of the EV3.

At the rear, the EV3 gets L-shaped LED taillamps connected by a plastic element in the centre. The rear windshield is steeply raked and the bumper gets a chunky silver skid plate.

Kia EV3 Interior And Features

On the inside, the Kia EV3 features a minimalist design with slim air vents and physical buttons for certain car functions. The 2-spoke steering wheel features multi-function buttons as well. The sliding centre console features a cubby hole and a few buttons for hill descent control, park assist and other functions. Cupholders, dual wireless chargers and a tray reside under the centre armrest.

Kia say the EV3 uses sustainable materials like recycled fabric and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in places like the dashboard, armrests, door cards, seats, and floor mats.

In terms of features, the dashboard features a well integrated dual 12.3-inch screen for driver instrumentation and infotainment with a touchscreen panel sandwiched in between for HVAC controls. Other feature highlights include a Harmon Kardon music system, Kia AI assistant, and Level-2 ADAS features such as forward collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.

Kia EV3 India Launch And Expected Prices

Kia India are yet to reveal a launch timeline for the EV3. However, we expect the carmaker to launch the EV3 in mid- or late-2025. Kia are likely to launch the EV9 3-row electric SUV ahead of the EV3. Like the EV6 that’s already on sale in India, Kia are likely to offer the EV3 with both powertrain options, albeit in a single trim – GT Line. We expect the electric Kia SUV to get a price tag of Rs. 30.0 lakh at launch.
