Kia EV3 awarded Five-Star Euro NCAP Safety Rating
The Kia EV3 has been awarded the highest safety rating following extensive testing by Euro NCAP, Europe’s leading independent safety testing organisation. The EV3 with the DriveWise ADAS Pack* received a five-star rating, while the vehicle without the pack received a four-star rating.
The EV3 was assessed in four categories and performed to a high standard throughout the test process. The vehicle achieved 83% for adult occupant protection, 84% for child occupant protection, 78% for vulnerable road users including pedestrians (77% without DriveWise ADAS pack), and 78% in the ‘safety assist’ category (67% without DriveWise ADAS pack). The DriveWise ADAS Pack* uses a combination of cameras and radars to detect hazardous situations and assist the driver with safe driving and manoeuvring.
Euro NCAP praised scored the EV3 maximum points in the side barrier test for adult occupant protection, with the vehicle providing good protection of all critical areas for six- and ten-year-old passengers in the same test. The EV3 was also praised for the direct driver status monitoring system as standard and the advanced eCall system that alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash. Further supporting the EV3’s safety rating is the vehicle’s high-strength Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and rigid body structure.
“The EV3 is an amazingly versatile vehicle, able to adapt to wide range of lifestyles, and this rating shows the vehicle is highly protective for the driver, passengers and other road users,” said Pablo Martínez Masip, Vice President of Product and Marketing at Kia Europe. “The Euro NCAP rating is just reward for a vehicle that has greatly impressed the media, the industry and customers alike.”
With the versatility and affordability to be the main car of a household, the EV3 is Kia’s dedicated, high-volume EV for the compact SUV market, being named as the 2025 World Car of the Year at the 2025 World Car Awards. In addition, the vehicle has won numerous awards across Europe and finished runner-up in the prestigious 2025 Car of the Year award.
The Kia EV3 has a segment-leading range of up to 605 km and an innovative interior design that optimises space, comfort and accessibility.** The EV3 is now available in Europe. Kia plans to introduce an all-wheel drive variant, expanding the range of choice for customers beyond the current two-wheel drive models.
