Smart Regenerative System can relieve the stress of negotiating
a busy, unfamiliar city centre by relieving mental strain on drivers. While Kia’s previous system could automatically slow the vehicle to 6mph, the latest technology can bring the EV3 to a complete stop, providing even greater fl exibility.
On-board effi ciency coach While the EV3 is packed with technology to extract maximum range from every battery charge, how owners drive can make a big diff erence, too. T at’s why Kia has made it easy to achieve this with its ‘Driving Range Guide’ technology. Located in the instrument cluster, the Driving Range Guide
is easy to understand at a glance. It displays the maximum and minimum driving ranges achievable depending on driving style, and an estimated range based on past driving effi ciency. When the EV3 is being driven effi ciently, a green gauge on
the information cluster fi lls towards the maximum mark. If the car’s effi ciency potential is not being maximised, this gauge turns orange and displays a reduced potential driving range. T is real-time display encourages drivers to enjoy a more effi cient driving experience. Kia plans to introduce an all-wheel drive (AWD) variant as
well as a GT model, expanding the range of choice for customers beyond the current two-wheel drive (2WD) models.

On a long motorway journey, drivers might prefer Level 1 or even
Level 0, which allows the EV3 to glide when lifting off the accelerator. T ese regenerative braking levels provide more comfort-focused deceleration. i-Pedal on Level 0 allows the EV3 to coast fully, while bringing a similar deceleration rate to Level 1 at lower speeds.
Smart tech for stress-free driving T e Kia EV3 is the fi rst car to feature Hyundai Motor Group’s Smart Regenerative System technology. T is intelligent system provides the driver with a digital co-pilot that can scan the road ahead and respond to situations with lightning-fast reactions. T e Smart Regenerative System is engaged by holding the right-
hand steering wheel paddle for more than a second and integrates autonomous driving technology with regenerative braking. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the system uses
sensors to detect the distance to the vehicle ahead and navigation information to automatically decelerate to a safe speed, if necessary. While Kia’s previous Smart Regenerative System relied solely on
GPS information, this latest version incorporates a wider variety of navigation-based data, unlocking an array of advantages for the driver. For example, when the EV3 approaches a tight turn or a curve
in the road, a speed limit decrease, a speed bump or a roundabout, when the Smart Regenerative System is engaged the car will automatically slow down to an appropriate speed, making for a more relaxed, effi cient and safe drive.
