Designed to improve EV accessibility, the EV3 brings the cutting-edge innovation of Kia's flagship EV9 to a wider audience than ever before and sets new standards in the compact electric vehicle SUV segment, accelerating Kia's shift towards becoming a provider of sustainable mobility solutions. The EV3 boasts a bold, progressive exterior and innovative, practical interior that maximises space, functionality and comfort.

The EV3 has a segment-leading range of up to 375 miles* (WLTP) and can charge from 10-to-80% in 31 minutes*, delivering impressive usability. The innovative interior design optimises space, comfort, and accessibility, while Kia's AI Assistant, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates enhance the ownership experience with cutting-edge technology.

Winners in all six categories will be announced on Wednesday 16 April 2025 during a live World Car Awards ceremony at the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS).
