Choosing an electric vehicle no longer depends solely on the number of kilometers it can travel on a charge. More and more drivers are looking for models that also make journeys easier, from planning the route to arriving at the destination. That is the proposal that Kia proposes with the EV3.

This electric SUV brings together several tools designed so that the driver can spend less time resolving unforeseen events and more time enjoying the journey. Autonomy continues to be one of its strong points, but the brand wants the true differential to be in the technology that accompanies each trip.

The Long Range version offers a range of up to 605 kilometers under the WLTP cycle thanks to its 81.4 kWh battery. For its part, the standard variant reaches up to 430 kilometers with a 58.3 kWh battery, figures that allow you to face long journeys with greater peace of mind.
Technology that accompanies the driver
One of the most notable elements of the Kia EV3 is its assistant based on artificial intelligence. Its function goes beyond responding to voice commands, as it helps manage different vehicle functions and makes it easier to consult relevant information during the journey.
In addition, the system can guide the driver on aspects of electric mobility, such as available autonomy, route planning and the location of charging points. This function comes through the 24.2 remote update developed by the brand.
Power available even when vehicle is stopped
Another feature that the EV3 incorporates is the V2L system, known as Vehicle-to-Load. Thanks to this technology, the vehicle's battery can supply electricity to external devices when the car is parked.
This allows you to power electronic equipment, charge laptops or use small appliances during a getaway, a work day or a stay outdoors.
Kia highlights that this is a rare feature within the compact electric SUV segment.
More comfort on every journey
The EV3 also incorporates a camera with 360-degree vision that makes maneuvering in tight spaces easier, as well as a Head-up Display that projects relevant information in front of the driver to avoid distractions behind the wheel.
Added to this is the Kia Digital Key 2.0, which allows access to the vehicle from the smartphone in compatible versions.
This entire technological package is complemented by a minimalist design cabin, configurable ambient lighting and solutions focused on offering a more practical experience both during daily trips and longer distance trips.
