Video Summary
Here is a summary of the Kia EV3 video review:The reviewed model is a long-range GT Line version. The usable battery capacity is 78.0 kWh, and charging can be done up to 11 kW AC or 135 kW DC. Exterior highlights include vertical LED cube headlights, black 19" rims with metal rims and plastic center caps, and hidden rear door handles with flush front door handles. There are battery cooling flaps, an ACC sensor, a glass roof and a shark fin antenna. The car has a small 25-liter frunk, which is suitable for storing cables.
Interior features include vegan leather, heated, ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, a 12.3" digital dashboard, 360 camera with 3D view, and an ultra-soft headrest. The car is equipped with a wireless charging tray and USB-C charge ports. There are hidden cup holders and a mysterious laptop or picnic table.
One minor drawback is the lack of storage under the center console. Recycled plastic is used for the hard plastics, and soft recycled fabric is used elsewhere.
When indicating, an image from the side camera appears on the dashboard. It has a head-up display. The reviewer broke something under the dash, but fixed it by replacing a missing piece. The brake power recuperation paddles allow level 3 one-pedal drive. The car has a drive assist button cluster and the car is able to activate lane assist. A feature described as sounds of nature with elevator music is highlighted.
The car sends 204 hp to the front wheels and has enough power to spin them in the corners. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 7.7 seconds. The top speed is 170 km/h.
The EV3 has 'Vehicle-to-Load' (V2L) functionality, with a 250V, 16A household socket inside. The under-floor trunk storage includes a V2L adapter and tire fixing kit. A full trunk space provides 1251 liters of cargo space. The floor board can be lowered.
Charging peaked at 130kW with a near perfect charging curve. The average energy consumption is about 20 kWh per 100km. There is an actual key hidden in the remote.
