Kia held its ‘The Kia EV3 Tech Day’ at the Pie Factory in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on Wednesday, where it introduced the key strengths of the company’s latest electric vehicle, the EV3.

The compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) is built on Hyundai Motor Group’s dedicated electric vehicle platform, the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). Following the release of the mid-sized SUV EV6 in 2021 and the large SUV EV9 in 2023, the EV3 is Kia’s third dedicated electric vehicle.

One of the standout features of the EV3 is the ‘i-Pedal 3.0’. This advanced system leverages regenerative braking, allowing drivers to accelerate, decelerate, and come to a complete stop using only the accelerator pedal. Unlike its predecessors, i-Pedal 3.0 can be used in reverse and includes a memory function that retains the pedal settings even after the vehicle is turned off and on.

The EV3 is also the first vehicle within Hyundai Motor Group to feature the ‘Smart Regenerative System (SRS) 3.0’.
