Convenience and Technology
The basic layout of the dashboard is very similar to the EV9 – there are twin, 12.3-inch floating infotainment screens followed by a band of haptic buttons and nicely concealed AC vents. There are buttons for navigation and media controls, including some on the two-spoke steering wheel. The 30-inch widescreen setup (including a 5-inch screen for climate controls) and its software are a direct lift from the EV9. Read more
Exterior and Interior styling
The EV3 looks like a scaled-down version of the flagship EV9. The front end is characterised by Kia’s signature ‘star map’ LED lighting pattern with horizontal and vertical LED lighting elements. In profile, the EV3 flaunts flared wheel arches with thick black plastic cladding, flush door handles, and a glasshouse that wraps around the C-pillar. The vertical tail lamps on the hatchback-style tailgate also double up as DRLs. Read more
Safety
The global-spec EV3 boasts ADAS features such as forward collision warning with avoidance assist, lane keep assist, rear-cross traffic collision avoidance assist, and more. It will also get front and rear parking sensors, reverse camera, six airbags, ISOFIX anchorages, and adjustable headrests for all passengers. Read more

Engine and Specifications
Based on the E-GMP platform, the Kia EV3 gets two battery pack options – the Standard model gets a 58.3kWh battery pack while the Long-Range variant gets an 81.4kWh battery pack. Both models utilise a front-axle mounted electric motor that produces 201bhp and 283Nm of torque, enabling a claimed 0 to 100kmph sprint time of 7.5 seconds. The EV3’s maximum speed is 170kmph. Kia has revealed that the Long-Range variant will have up to 600km of range on the WLTP cycle. Read more
Interior & Cargo Layout: The interior of the Tata Sierra is highly futuristic yet functional. The driver is greeted by a multi-screen cockpit that offers crisp graphics and fluid animations. The layout is clean, with minimal physical buttons. Passengers in the back enjoy excellent legroom, and the large panoramic roof adds to the airy feel of the cabin. Boot space is competitive and expandable via 60:40 split rear folding seats.
Value & Verdict: When comparing the features and driving dynamics against its mid-size competitors, the Sierra represents a solid proposition. Its blend of safety, design flair, and rich features makes it one of the most compelling options for buyers wanting a standout vehicle.
