On the sides, the EV3 boasts squared-off wheel arches, blacked-out alloy wheels with white inserts, blacked-out pillars, flush-fitting front door handles, and C-pillar-mounted rear door handles. At the rear, the Kia EV3 showcases L-shaped LED taillamps extending on both ends, a sizable bumper with black cladding, roof spoiler, shark-fin antenna, reverse parking camera with sensors, and a panoramic sunroof. Notably, the SUV will be available in nine color options, including two exclusive colors – Aventurine Green and Terracotta.
