The Kia EV3 has been designed as an entry-level EV offering in the Kia line-up. The SUV gets a boxy profile and gets a good amount of cuts and creases. Some of the highlights of the EV3 include a raked windscreen, tapered roofline, bulky alloy wheels and more.
On the inside, Kia has used the same minimalist theme. The materials used inside consist of sustainable products amongst others. Furthermore, there are some handcrafted elements used on the interior panels. Kia claims these will enhance the SUV’s interior and give it a 3D look.
