Kia teases EV3 SUV

MANILA: Kia released a set of teaser photos of the EV3 electric sport utility vehicle (SUV).

Three photos were released showing the electric vehicle’s (EV) nose and upper rear end. A view of the latter angled from below was also released to showcase the bold, geometric, and robust aspects of the EV3’s exterior design.

Despite the white-on-while layout of the photos published, noticeable are the Kia EV3’s slightly dipping bonnet and sleek headlights as well as its boxy rear fenders and tailgate.

“The EV3’s design stems from the same principles used to sculpt Kia's flagship EV9 SUV. Kia’s globally acclaimed ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy is the foundation for continuity throughout the brand’s model range and gives the freedom for each vehicle to express its unique character,” the Hyundai-owned brand said in a press release.

“Aiming to broaden the accessibility of electric mobility following the introduction of the multi-award-winning Kia EV6 and EV9 models, the EV3 is a compact yet comprehensively equipped EV SUV that offers outstanding performance through its incorporation of innovative technologies,” it added.

The Kia EV3 is scheduled to go on sale later this year. Its world premiere will be livestreamed on Kia’s YouTube channel on May 23.
