Have I advised you the way a lot I really like the Kia EV3 at this time? From its launch, I’ve thought it’s one of many coolest trying automobiles in the marketplace. And apparently I’m not the one one. the EV3 simply received the “Better of the Greatest” Pink Dot Award for Product Design within the Cars and Autos. That’s an enormous design award within the business — and properly deserved.
Notably, the judges are huge followers of Kia design, because the EV9 received this award in 2024 and the EV6 received it in 2022. Kia is de facto sweeping up the titles on this class! I’ve liked the EV6 because it got here out, however I’ve to say that I just like the EV3 much more (although, I’m but to see it in individual, and that may change issues).
So far as the philosophy of the design goes, right here’s extra from Kia on its newest award winner: “The EV3 exemplifies Kia’s ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy, bringing collectively contrasting components to create an modern and fascinating design. The all-electric SUV’s design combines a robust, assured physique with a dynamic silhouette. The EV3’s compact exterior is complemented by an open, spacious cabin that blends performance with a way of consolation and calm. […]
“The EV3 includes a glossy and sturdy exterior characterised by broad shoulders and a assured stance. The seamless integration of the C-pillar and tailgate glass imparts a high-tech look whereas sustaining a compact, dynamic profile. Vertical headlamps positioned on the extremes of the clear entrance contribute to a large, assertive impression.
“Inside, the EV3 presents a spacious cabin that comfortably accommodates 5 passengers. The inside emphasizes consolation and performance, that includes a panoramic widescreen show that integrates important driving and leisure capabilities. A chic middle console incorporates a sliding desk and storage space, emphasizing the inside’s usability and comfort.”
That’s a method of placing it. Personally, I just like the angles of the corners of the automobile, the edges, the small dimension however good top, and the doorhandles. I don’t know why. Oh sure, the headlights are additionally very cool trying, and there’s some type of movement from the traces of these lights to the underside portion of the doorways that simply appears to be like good.
Nicely executed, Kia. Nicely deserved once more!
“It’s a super honor to obtain the 2025 Pink Dot ‘Better of the Greatest’ design award for the Kia EV3, particularly after the success of the EV9, successful the identical award final 12 months.
