Kia
Industry-leading technology gives new model a green edge
When Kia unveiled the EV3 in May, the brand showcased a vehicle that would make eff ortless and more sustainable mobility accessible. To deliver on that commitment, Kia’s new compact all-electric SUV features industry-leading technology, a WLTP driving range of up to 372 miles and fast-charging capability. T e EV3’s game-changing blend of attributes means
customers needn’t be concerned with making the transi- tion from an internal combustion engine (ICE) car to an electric vehicle (EV). Kia’s development team 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, such as intelligent regenerative braking and the ability to power or charge external devices, such as camping equipment, enabling customers to enjoy a range of lifestyle and driving features previously unavailable in this segment. Pioneering world-fi rst technology sits at the heart of the
EV3, with Kia’s engineers ensuring these innovations bring genuine benefi ts to the EV3’s occupants.
Braking innovations Kia is constantly innovating and has evolved its regener- ative braking technology for the EV3 with its upgraded i-Pedal and Smart Regenerative systems. T ese technolo- gies take the concept of one-pedal driving to the next level to deliver greater enjoyment and effi ciency. T e latest i-Pedal technology off ers the driver much
more fl exibility and control by separating the level of regenerative braking from the full stopping control function. Full one-pedal driving can now be used in all regenerative braking modes, while i-Pedal can be used optionally in reverse and will also remember the previously selected level when the vehicle is turned off . T e system can be selected through a simpler process of pulling the left-hand steering wheel paddle for more than one second. Regenerative braking levels are rated from 0 to 3, with
the most substantial Level 3 braking ideal for driving in heavy start-stop traffi c, where drivers may need to slow the car quickly. T is has also been optimised with a more linear calibration for smoother results. Level 2 provides slightly less braking force, an ideal
setting on a winding road, enabling drivers to really engage with the driving experience by slowing the SUV smoothly for corners without touching the brake pedal. T is sustainable approach can extract more driving range from each battery charge.
