Kia has completed a more dynamic image by adding a stylish and sporty feel to the existing K3. The front of The New K3 has a wide-looking image by applying a radiator grill connected to a slim headlight, and a three-dimensional effect through a dynamic chrome garnish from the grill to the headlight.
Along with this, the direction indicators were integrated into the headlights to deliver a concise image, and the daytime running lights that embody the sense of speed emphasized the refined feeling. In addition, through the lower part of the bumper reminiscent of the wing of a fighter, it has a sharp impression.
The rear has a stable and sporty sensibility by adding a three-dimensional effect to the horizontal design, and a design that embodies the sense of speed is applied to the rear lights to give a sense of unity with the front part. Mineral blue, added as a new exterior color, expresses a dynamic feel with bold colors inspired by intense waves.
