Kia’s Game-Changing AI Assistant Arrives in the UK with the New EV3

Kia’s Smartest Drive Yet: AI Assistant Rolls Out in the UK with the New EV3

Clarks of Kidderminster is excited to announce the arrival of Kia’s revolutionary AI Assistant in the UK, now available on the all-new Kia EV3.

Following its successful rollout in Korea and the United States, Kia’s cutting-edge, generative AI-powered voice recognition system is officially making its debut across Europe—including right here in the UK. The AI Assistant will be fitted as standard on European-specification EV3 models built from March 2025 onwards, with existing vehicles receiving the upgrade via a convenient Over-the-Air (OTA) update.


Your Kia, Now Smarter Than Ever
More than just voice control, Kia’s new AI Assistant allows for natural, intuitive conversations with your car—transforming everything from setting navigation to discovering in-car features. Simply say, “Hey Kia,” or tap the voice recognition button on the steering wheel, and your EV3 becomes your knowledgeable, conversational co-pilot.

Whether you're asking for restaurant recommendations on the go or need a quick tutorial on engaging the Highway Driving Assist in heavy traffic, Kia’s AI Assistant is built to understand your intent, context, and even tone, offering a truly intelligent driving companion.


Smarter Updates. Seamless Integration.
The AI Assistant is part of Kia’s evolving connected car ecosystem, featuring continuous OTA updates. This means your EV3 gets smarter over time—learning more, doing more, and helping you more efficiently every time you drive. The AI system is powered through Kia’s latest connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC), ensuring compatibility with upcoming digital features.


Beyond the Drive
Kia’s AI Assistant goes beyond basic car functions. Planning a road trip? Just ask: “Hey Kia, what should I pack for a weekend in Snowdonia?” Looking for something fun for the kids? Ask the Assistant to explain why the sky is blue—in a way that little ones will understand. From etiquette tips to music suggestions, it’s designed to assist with life, not just the road.


Now at Clarks of Kidderminster
The UK’s first models to feature the AI Assistant are the latest Kia EV3s, available soon at Clarks of Kidderminster. If you already own a compatible EV3, we’re here to help you ensure your vehicle receives the latest OTA update to unlock the full AI experience.
