SEOUL,
South Korea, Sept. 11,
2024 /CNW/ -- When Kia unveiled the EV3 in May this
year, the brand showcased a vehicle that would make effortless,
sustainable mobility more accessible. To deliver on that
commitment, Kia's new compact all-electric SUV features
industry-leading technology, a WLTP driving range of up to 600km
and fast-charging capability.
Kia was determined to create an all-electric SUV that would
raise the bar for what's expected of a compact electric model.
Achieving this meant drawing up an entirely new set of parameters,
enabling customers to enjoy a range of lifestyle and driving
features previously unavailable in this sector.
Pioneering world-first technology sits at the heart of the EV3,
with Kia's engineers ensuring these innovations bring genuine
benefits to the EV3's occupants.
i-Pedal innovations
Kia has evolved its regenerative braking technology for the EV3
with its upgraded i-Pedal 3.0, which takes the concept of one-pedal
driving to the next level to deliver greater enjoyment and
efficiency. It offers the driver much more flexibility and control
by separating the level of regenerative braking from the full
stopping control function.
Smart tech for stress-free driving
The Kia EV3 is the first car to feature Hyundai Motor Group's
Smart Regenerative System 3.0 technology. While Kia's previous
system relied solely on GPS information, this latest version
incorporates a wider variety of navigation-based data, unlocking an
array of advantages for the driver.
Reassuring range and advanced aerodynamics
The EV3 is equipped with the
largest battery in its class. The 81.4 kWh fourth-generation unit
boasts approximately 22 percent higher energy density compared with
the Niro EV. Combined with variety of aerodynamic features, the EV3
glides smoothly through the air with a drag coefficient of
0.26Cd.
Efficient driving in all conditions
The EV3 is the first vehicle in the world to deploy a
simultaneous heat absorption system, enabling it to recycle waste
heat not just from the vehicle, but also outside air to optimize
efficiency. The advanced heat pump technology significantly
improves its ability to protect battery performance and charge
quickly in cold weather.
