Kia has finally unveiled its latest EV3 model, which is one of the most highly anticipated futuristic electric vehicles from Kia thus far. Hints were proposed as to how the new Kia EV3 will look during the EV Day event hosted by Kia in late 2023. For the EV3, Kia puts most of its focus on cutting-edge technology as well as on sophisticated style. Deliveries of these EV3 vehicles are well underway in Europe; however, when the EV3 will be available to U.S. citizens is yet to be seen. Nevertheless, the EV3 is still demanding all the attention globally.
Kia is writing a new script in terms of design
A look at the EV3 proves that this Kia is unlike any other vehicle, and the uniqueness was the sole aim of Kia in terms of its design. Some of the striking features are the modern lines and the angular lighting that proves that Kia is not holding back on boasting its sophisticated styling techniques. The EV3 mimics the size of the Volvo EX30 and thus is a rather spacious car, but does not at all look too bulky when on the roads.
Kia employs some of the hallmarks of Kia’s next generation of EVs by showcasing a tech-forward cabin and a relatively minimalistic layout. The EV3 also makes use of the E-GMP platform that was popularized with the Kia EV6 and the EV9. Due to the E-GMP platform, faster charging is on offer for this EV.
Kia EV3 is shaping an electric future in the U.S.
As EV3s are on the production line, Kia surely is devoted to reworking an electric future. While Kia has plans to go to America and prepare its first 100% model, Kia’s American COO, Steven Center, suggested that the EV3 as well as the EV4 could find their way to U.S. showrooms soon.
With the focus on getting the Kia EV3 and EV4 to the U.S., the future of the Niro EV becomes questionable. Kia seems to be focusing on dividing the vehicle lineup into two lanes. One lane will be devoted to focusing on internal combustion vehicles and hybrids, whilst the other lane will focus solely on EVs.
With the EV3, Kia could be paving the way forward for it to tap into the EV market in North America, deviating from its prior gas-powered crossovers such as the Seltos or the Kia Soul. Kia is making quite a mark with the EV3, which offers EV drivers the chance to drive an affordable EV that is forward-thinking and futuristic.
Kia is focusing on an all-new EV agenda
Could the EV3’s arrival from Kia in America signify the U.S. bidding farewell to Tesla? Kia is on the verge of testing a considerable number of newer electric models, including the EV4 as well as their PV5 electric van. Kia is not only looking at cars but creating vans too.
Thus far, this PV5 van is said to launch in Europe and Korea only. Nevertheless, by making an appearance at the American auto show, Kia is trying to assess how the U.S. feels about the brand’s EV agenda. Russell Wager, VP of marketing for Kia America, mentioned that the PV5 WKNDR idea is being put forward to see what the demand for this EV could be like, particularly in the U.S. market.
For now, Kia surely is making a bolder statement with its EV3, which is spacious whilst still pushing forth the futuristically innovative agenda. If Kia diverts its full attention towards American buyers, a smaller EV vehicle may very well be on the cards for American EV motor enthusiasts. The well-hushed EV3 secret from Kia has now been revealed, and it is clear that Kia is not shying away from making bolder electric vehicle statements.
