The EV3's cabin is quite spacious for a small SUV, with plenty of light and clever packaging that makes good use of space thanks to a low, flat EV platform.

Storage is plentiful without getting in the way, with minimal physical controls aside from the steering wheel buttons.

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

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.

So far, only a front-drive, single motor variant of the EV3 is confirmed with 150kW/283Nm outputs.

The Kia EV3 has a traditional five-seat layout, with a 40/60 split-fold rear bench seat.

Kia says the standard variant EV3 with a front-wheel drive single motor can hit 100km/h in 7.5 seconds before going on to a top speed of 170km/h.

Kia says the EV3's maximum driving range under WLTP testing should be about 600km for the long-range 81.4kWh battery version, but its standard range 58.3kWh battery doesn’t yet have a confirmed claim.
