Kia EV3 teased ahead of May 23 launch: Check features
South Korean carmaker Kia is making significant strides in the electric vehicle industry, aiming to attract young buyers even though demand for EVs seems to be cooling down after years of continuous growth. The company's latest endeavor is the Kia EV3, set for a global debut on May 23. In anticipation of this event, Kia has released official teasers providing a sneak peek into its upcoming eSUV.
Kia EV3: A glimpse into the design and features
Kia EV3 is set to be launched in various markets. Positioned below the Kia EV6 in the brand's electric lineup, the production-ready EV3 showcases a bold, geometric exterior design. The vehicle's unique identity is highlighted by its boxy rear fenders, tailgate, and signature Star Map lighting. Minor redesigns are visible in the LED headlights and DRLs at the front compared to the EV3 concept, while the rear seems to have been carried over from the concept.
Kia EV3: Innovative technologies and eco-friendly features
Kia has incorporated innovative technologies into the EV3 as part of its strategy to expand its EV range with cost-effective options. The company promises a wide range of equipment with eco-friendly features and a minimal design theme similar to that of the EV6. Kia aims to deliver an elevated customer experience derived from its flagship models with the compact SUV segment-targeted EV3.
Kia EV3: Size and pricing projections
Classified as a 'compact SUV,' the EV3 is projected to be slightly larger than Sonet and slightly smaller than Seltos at around 4.2m length. This size factor suggests affordable pricing, which could potentially expedite a quicker shift to electric vehicles. It also bolsters Kia's standing as an electric car manufacturer for mass consumers.
