The Kia K3 comes with a roomy and contemporary cabin loaded with high-end amenities. You can access a panoramic infotainment screen on the dashboard, integrated with an instrument cluster that works comprehensively to offer a cohesive display unit. This model features leather chairs that can be manually adjusted. Thanks to the foldable rear seats, the car offers significant luggage space. The K3 comes with a two-zone climate control system, controlled by a touch screen along with an ambient lighting system that you can customize to produce as many as 64 hues. With air vents in the back, the car ensures an equally comfortable ride for passengers.

Exterior

Buyers can customize the new Kia K3 from several color options, including aurora black pearl, snow white pearl, fiery red, steel gray, and wave blue. The distinctive feature of this model is the wide tiger nose grille. It also features daytime running lights that are unique to it. These lights sweep back and extend along the sides of the front end of the car. With LED headlights and star-map lighting, the frontal part of the K3 looks impressive. 

The appearance looks further appealing with the electrically movable side mirrors, with LED side repeaters. The car also features wraparound taillights featuring a light bar on the chunky boot connecting the two clusters. This creates its signature ‘J’ shape, giving the Kia K3 its distinctive look. Also, around the bottom border and wheel arches, the black body cladding gives it a touch of an SUV.

The K3 model comes in three engine options in 2024, which caters to different performances. For the base model, the car features a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing 121 hp. It is available in either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. 

Owners looking for more power should go for the K3 GT-Line which features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 150 hp, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Kia also has plans to introduce a 1.4-liter engine. Thanks to the redesigned suspension system, the car strikes an excellent balance between control and comfort. 

Braking & Safety

This mechanism is perfectly complemented by the electronic stability control (ESC) and electronic stability program (ESP) to enhance the control over the vehicle. 

Drivers benefit from the hill start assist feature that prevents rollbacks on inclines, while the rear-cross traffic collision avoidance assist and the blind spot collision avoidance assist system provides additional assistance while driving.

  • Stylish sedan with great design elements

    Kia is always known for its superb design, and the K3 is one best example of this focus. It comes across as attractive, appealing and also very sleek from the exterior, easily the most stylish subcompact sedan in Saudi Arabia right now.

Also the turn signals on the mirrors not only improve safety but also contribute to its overall look of the car. Basically, the K4 is a good sedan which impresses with elegance and functionality, advanced lighting and contemporary styling.

  • Modern, practical economical sedan

    After exploring a few options we bought the K3 about three months ago for our family of 3, and mostly drive in the city. And at an on-road price of SAR 85000, Kia is offering a huge bargain in this car. The K3 is sufficient for our family needs with spacious features. But more than anything I really like about this sedan is the safety features including six airbags, ABS, ESC, advanced driver assistance, and front collision avoidance, blind spot collision avoidance assistance, etc. I find the 150hp engine quite smooth to drive in city traffic.

  • Effective Sedan from KIA

    KIA K3 is a good option for a compact sedan. It comes with a 1.6 litre 4 cylinder engine which produces over all 155 Nm of torque and 128 horsepower. The car suspensions are tuned in such a way that they are good on highway cruising but can be a problem while riding on rough roads. The car has a fuel efficiency of around 16 km per litre as claimed by the company which is decent for daily commute and long journeys. The car is quite spacious with a cargo space of 502 l. Also the dual zone AC works great even in rear seats.

And the 17 inch allow wheels add an modern overall to the car. It is not just the exterior but the interior is splendid too, with spacious cabin and comfortable rear seats. The wide screen on the dashboard give its cockpit a state of the art feel. The internal material is quite upmarket true to its executive luxury sedan characters. In the price range of SAR 80 to 100K, the K3 is without a doubt is best buy in the segment.
