After making its international debut last month, fresh pictures of the sporty Kia EV3 GT-Line version have surfaced from Korea, highlighting the new exclusive paint scheme and sporty styling.
Kia debuted the EV3 globally last month and it will be first introduced in the Korean market in July, followed by the European market in the second half of 2024. For the US market, production will commence by the end of 2025 and it’s safe to say that the Kia’s most affordable EV is still a good time away. Ahead of its launch in Korea, the sporty GT-Line version of the Kia EV3 has been spotted in full flesh and it is wearing a new red colour. As per the reports, this new colour is reserved for overseas markets and it will be interesting to see if it will make its way to the US.

The standard range version of the EV3 will come with a 58.3 kWh battery pack while the long-range version will come fitted with a larger 81.4 kWh battery pack.
