Materials are mixed between recycled fibres, synthetic leather, cloth and plastic.

Colours for the Australian market aren't confirmed yet, but expect plenty of white, black and greyscale options for the small SUV, as well as perhaps a brighter hero colour and some muted colour tones.
Kia EV3 Accessories
The Kia EV3 has a strong features list, with electrically adjustable seats, V2L functionality, ambient lighting, and a 30-inch display unit consisting of three screens standard.
Depending on specification, the EV3 also comes with synthetic leather heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats, plus a sunroof, head-up display and contrast interior trim.
Kia EV3 Engine
So far, only a front-drive, single motor variant of the EV3 is confirmed with 150kW/283Nm outputs.
