Kia EV3 world premiere confirmed ahead of summer launch - electrive.com
mesamunefire, The pics look terrible on the inside. Just a touch screen no other controls. No thanks.
helenslunch, Unfortunately this will go the way of headphone jacks in the future.
Nobody wants them but people keep buying them so we keep getting them. Until there is no other option.
teemrokit, 
It’s also much cheaper to have a touch screen compared to fabricating all the little buttons and knobs.
helenslunch, Is it really? How much do you think buttons and knobs cost the OEM?
LowtierComputer, For cheap ones, very little.
helenslunch, Even for expensive ones? $50/unit maybe? I know people will say “oh that’s millions across the fleet!” without accounting at all for consumer satisfaction. Like hey, they could save thousands per unit by removing all the passenger seats!
LowtierComputer, Yeah maybe. But likely less even for high end…
Num10ck, car mfgs obsess about tenth of a penny costs in their cars.
helenslunch, I already addressed this in the comment you just replied to.
You’re talking about tenths of a penny in unnecessary expenses. I’m talking about a few dollars that massively improves the ownership experience.
burble, A boxy body will give it a masculine and athletic appearance
Hmm, “athletic” to me looks more like a sports car, not a battering ram
threelonmusketeers, battering ram
Grond!
helenslunch, The Kia EV3 will be a new small crossover
aaaand ya lost me.
Blaster_M, KIA gonna catch up to BYD now?
