ST. LOUIS, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is helping support pets and people in rural Western Alaska by donating 45,000 pounds of Purina dog food to communities still recovering from Typhoon Halong.

The storm struck Alaska in October 2025 and brought hurricane-force winds and catastrophic flooding, heavily impacting nearly 50 rural and native communities. In many of these regions, dogs play a critical role in daily life, providing not only companionship, but transportation and safety—making access to nutrient dense pet food essential.

Purina learned about the ongoing need in Western Alaska from Dr. Arleigh Reynolds, DVM, PhD, D.A.C.V.N., a retired Purina veterinarian, scientist and current medical advisor working with Alaska Native Rural Veterinary, Inc., an organization dedicated to improving animal health in remote Alaska communities. “Purina has a long and dedicated history of helping pets and their owners when they need it most. Dogs play a huge role in the emotional and mental health resilience and recovery responses to traumatic events like this typhoon. We are so very grateful for this lifesaving support,” said Dr Reynolds.

“Dogs are essential to daily life in many of Alaska’s rural communities, and access to food can be a real challenge long after a disaster makes headlines,” said Angie Fitch, Executive Director & Co-Founder of Alaska Native Rural Veterinary, Inc. “Purina’s generosity—and the commitment of so many transportation partners—will make a meaningful difference for dog owners in communities that are still working to recover months after Typhoon Halong. This support helps ensure families can continue caring for the dogs they love and depend on.”

Moved by the scale and persistent challenges facing pet owners months after the storm, Purina mobilized a plan to send help. In addition to producing and donating a full truckload of dog food, Purina partnered with Greater Good Charities to coordinate the logistics required to transport the donation from the Purina factory in Eden, North Carolina, to a port in Tacoma, Washington. An emergency grant from the Purina Foundation covered the more than $6,000 in shipping costs, ensuring the food could make the long journey from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest and continue on to Western Alaska.

Alaska Native Rural Veterinary, Inc. is now working with a network of transportation partners to deliver the donated dog food directly to pet owners in remote communities. These partners include TOTE Maritime, Carlile Transportation, Alaska Air Transit, Resolve Aviation, Aleutian Airways, NAC Alaska, Ryan Air, Warbelows Air Ventures and Everts Air —each playing a critical role in reaching communities that are often accessible only by air or sea.

“Recovery doesn’t end when the storm passes, especially in rural and remote communities,” said Kim Beardslee, Director of Community Affairs at Purina. “We’re proud to work alongside trusted partners to help ensure pets and people have the resources they need as these communities continue to rebuild.”

Supporting communities in times of crisis is a core part of Purina’s commitment to keeping pets and people together. In the wake of a natural disaster, Purina works closely with Greater Good Charities to provide timely assistance—combining pet food donations, emergency funding, and operational expertise to help pet owners care for their animals during recovery. From immediate response to long‑term rebuilding, Purina focuses on meeting critical needs where access to resources may be limited, ensuring pets continue to receive the care they deserve as communities heal.

4th-generation executive director is proud to carry on the legacy of great-grandmother Bessie Tartt Wilson who founded the school on then-Holborn Terrace

BOSTON, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TARTTs Day Care Centers (“TARTTs”), a landmark institution in the Boston early childhood education landscape is proud to announce its 80th anniversary this year.

Founded in May of 1946 by Bessie Tartt Wilson, the historic milestone follows close behind the one-year anniversary of when TARTTs became part of the Cadence Education family. The transfer of ownership allowed TARTTs to maintain its family-centered mission while gaining the support of a national educational network.

“We are privileged to honor the mission that Bessie Tartt Wilson started eight decades ago, while ensuring that TARTTs has the modern resources to remain at the forefront of early childhood education in Boston, a city with such rich commitment to education,” CEO of Cadence Education Leigh-Ellen Louie said. 

Nida Wright Adjetey, former vice president and current Executive Director of TARTTs, said she was proud to remain on board to oversee the three locations she and her family built and maintained.

“Our long history is defined by resilience and a commitment to quality,” Wright Adjetey said. “From our roots in Roxbury/Dorchester to our expansion in the South End, we have always prioritized the social and academic development of the ‘total child.'”

The TARTTs story began when Bessie Tartt Wilson, then a 23-year-old recent nursing school graduate from Alabama, relocated to Boston to find work in her field. Everything changed due to lingering after-effects following a battle with polio that would have made it challenging to keep up with the physical demands of nursing. 

Wilson’s tenacity led her to pivot to early childhood education by providing care in her own home on a street that today we call Kavanaugh Way—formerly known as Holborn Terrace. The decision created a new life trajectory that would impact not only her family, but countless families in Boston—for generations to come.

In fact, following Wilson’s death in 1999, under the subsequent leadership of Bessie’s daughter, Mary L. Reed, and grandchildren, Ken Reed and Wanda Geer, the home-based business expanded into a commercial property. Until late 2019, TARTTs Day Care Center II occupied suites within the municipal building owned by the City of Boston at 1010 Massachusetts Ave., after purchasing and expanding the YMCA daycare operating at that site.

TARTTs thrived for almost 20 years at that location, which today continues to be a hub for Boston municipal services. And TARTTs has long since put down new roots elsewhere.

As the business outgrew its domestic roots, TARTTs successfully began transitioning into its current footprint in Boston’s vibrant South End and SoWa districts. All three locations are within walking distance of each other making it easy for parents and staff to navigate needs based on age-based services or availability within each location.

“We also have roots in the South End, where we were raised and my mom and grandmother still reside,”  Wright Adjetey said. “So, expanding to the South End was a profitable and strategic business move, but it was also returning home.”

Today, under the Cadence Education umbrella, the school operates three locations:

• TARTTs South End (Harrison Ave.)
• TARTTs SOWA (Harrison Ave.)
• TARTTs at The Factory (Wareham St.)

“Celebrating 80 years is a testament to the enduring vision of my great-grandmother and the generations of families who have trusted us with their children’s futures,” said Wright Adjetey. “Our role is also to support the teachers who are the heart of TARTTs and to ensure our legacy of continuity of care remains the standard for Boston families.”

About TARTTs Day Care Centers
Founded in 1946 by Bessie Tartt Wilson in Boston, TARTTs Day Care Centers provides comprehensive early childhood education focused on social, physical, and academic development. Operating three locations in Boston’s South End and SoWa areas, TARTTs joined the Cadence Education family of schools in December 2024.

Adults taking Foundayo lost an average of 27 pounds on the highest dose in the ATTAIN-1 clinical trial¹

Foundayo, Lilly’s second FDA-approved obesity medicine, will be available via LillyDirect^® with free home delivery, starting at $25 per month with commercial coverage and $149 for self-pay

INDIANAPOLIS, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Foundayo™ (orforglipron) for adults with obesity, or overweight with weight-related medical problems. When used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, Foundayo helps individuals lose excess body weight and keep the weight off. Foundayo will be available via LillyDirect^®, with prescriptions accepted immediately and shipping beginning April 6, followed shortly after by broad availability through U.S. retail pharmacies and telehealth providers.

“People living with obesity need treatment options that meet them where they are – and for many, a once-daily pill that can be taken with no food or water restrictions can offer them greater flexibility in how they approach their treatment,” said Deborah Horn, DO, director of the Center for Obesity Medicine at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. “With Foundayo, we now have an oral option that delivered an average of 12.4% weight loss at the highest dose in clinical trials – addressing both the clinical realities of obesity and the practical challenges patients face every day.”

Supported by the rigorous ATTAIN clinical trial program, Foundayo was proven to help people lose weight and keep it off. In the ATTAIN-1 trial, individuals taking the highest dose of Foundayo and who stayed on treatment lost an average of 27.3 pounds (12.4%) compared to 2.2 pounds (0.9%) with placebo.¹ Participants taking Foundayo, regardless of trial completion, lost an average of 25 pounds (11.1%), compared to 5.3 pounds (2.1%) with placebo.² In the ATTAIN program, Foundayo also led to reductions in many markers of cardiovascular risk, including waist circumference, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and systolic blood pressure across all doses.

“Today, fewer than 1 in 10 people who could benefit from a GLP-1 are taking one, held back by access, stigma, perceived complexity or the belief that their condition isn’t serious enough for treatment. We believe Foundayo can help level the playing field for those living with obesity or who are overweight and living with weight-related complications,” said David A. Ricks, chair and CEO of Eli Lilly and Company. “As a convenient, once-daily oral pill that delivers meaningful weight loss, this is obesity care designed for the real world.”

Lilly is committed to making Foundayo accessible and affordable. Eligible people with commercial insurance may pay as little as $25 per month with the Foundayo savings card.³ Individuals opting for self-pay can access Foundayo starting at $149 per month for the lowest dose. Additionally, eligible Medicare Part D individuals may be able to get Foundayo for $50 per month, beginning as soon as July 1, 2026.

Use of Foundayo with other GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines is not recommended. It is not known whether Foundayo is safe and effective for use in children. Foundayo may cause tumors in the thyroid, including thyroid cancer. Watch for possible symptoms, such as a lump or swelling in the neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing or shortness of breath. If you have any of these symptoms, tell your health care provider. The most common side effects of Foundayo include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, indigestion, stomach (abdominal) pain, headache, swollen belly, feeling tired, belching, heartburn, gas, and hair loss. These are not all the possible side effects of Foundayo. Please see Indication and Safety Summary with Warning below and full Prescribing Information and Medication Guide.

“There is no single path that works for everyone living with overweight or obesity,” said Joe Nadglowski, president and CEO of the Obesity Action Coalition. “New treatment options expand choice and help more people find care that fits their lives, their goals and where they are in their journey – whether they’re just starting to explore treatment or looking for a different long-term approach.”

Lilly has submitted orforglipron for weight management and/or type 2 diabetes in more than 40 countries and plans to launch in each country shortly after approval.

About Foundayo (orforglipron)⁴
Foundayo™ (orforglipron) is FDA-approved for adults with obesity, or some adults with overweight who also have weight-related medical problems to reduce excess body weight and maintain weight reduction long term, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Foundayo is a once-daily small molecule (non-peptide) oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist that can be taken any time of the day without restrictions on food and water intake.⁵ Orforglipron was discovered by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and licensed by Lilly in 2018. In addition to chronic weight management, orforglipron is being studied as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis knee pain, hypertension, peripheral artery disease and stress urinary incontinence.

About ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2 clinical trial program
The ATTAIN Phase 3 global clinical development program for orforglipron has enrolled more than 4,500 people with obesity or overweight across two global registration trials.

ATTAIN-1 (NCT05869903) is a Phase 3, 72-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of orforglipron at various doses to placebo in adults with obesity, or overweight with at least one of the following comorbidities: hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea or cardiovascular disease, who did not have diabetes. The trial randomized 3,127 participants across the U.S., Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Puerto Rico, Slovakia, Spain and Taiwan to receive various doses of orforglipron or placebo along with healthy diet and physical activity. The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate that orforglipron is superior to placebo in body weight reduction from baseline after 72 weeks.

ATTAIN-2 (NCT05872620) is a Phase 3, 72-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of various doses of orforglipron with placebo in adults with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes. The trial randomized over 1,600 participants across the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Czechia, Germany, Greece, India, South Korea and Puerto Rico to receive various doses of orforglipron or placebo along with healthy diet and physical activity. The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate that orforglipron is superior to placebo in mean body weight change from baseline at 72 weeks.

Novel Transdermal Curcumin Formulation Demonstrates Pain Reduction and Improved Quality of Life in Phase 1b Clinical Trial

Study published in Frontiers in Pain Research reports significant reduction in knee pain with topical curcumin formulation

SUMMIT, N.J., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vascarta Inc. today announced the publication of results from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating VAS-101, the company’s investigational topical/transdermal curcumin gel, for the treatment of knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. The study appears in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Pain Research. Frontiers | The effect of a topical curcumin formulation (VAS-101) on knee pain in adults with knee osteoarthritis: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study

The clinical trial demonstrated that participants using VAS-101 experienced statistically significant reductions in knee pain compared with placebo, along with a favorable safety and tolerability profile.

Dr. Adrian Lopresti, Managing Director of Clinical Trials Australia and principal investigator, stated, “The results of this study demonstrate that, in people with knee osteoarthritis, the topical application of VAS-101 reduced knee pain within 28 days, with clinically meaningful improvements occurring in approximately 40% of participants. VAS-101 may represent a promising option for individuals experiencing knee osteoarthritis.”

Study Design
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 60 adults aged 45–75 with knee osteoarthritis. Participants applied either 0.1 mL VAS-101 or 0.1 mL placebo gel to the affected knee every other day for 28 days.

Researchers assessed outcomes using several validated measures, including:

• KOOS pain subscale (primary endpoint)
• Daily pain ratings
• Performance-based physical function tests
• Use of rescue oral pain medication

Key Findings
Results from the study showed that VAS-101 produced meaningful improvements in pain outcomes compared with placebo:

• Significant improvement in KOOS pain score (β: 5.12; 95% CI: 0.47–9.77; p = 0.041)
• Significant reduction in daily pain ratings (p = 0.005)
• 39.3% of participants using VAS-101 reported feeling “much improved” or “very much improved,” compared with 13.3% in the placebo group (p = 0.019)
• 32.1% of participants achieved a Minimal Clinically Important Difference in symptoms, compared with 13.3% with placebo

VAS-101 was well tolerated, with no significant adverse reactions reported. Temporary skin staining, a known characteristic of topical curcumin, was observed but resolved within two to three days after discontinuation.

Implications
The study suggests that topical delivery of curcumin may offer a promising non-oral therapeutic approach to managing osteoarthritis-related knee pain, potentially addressing limitations associated with oral formulations.

While further research with larger patient populations and longer treatment durations is needed, these findings highlight the potential role of VAS-101 in managing osteoarthritis pain,” said Joel Friedman, M.D., Ph.D., inventor of Vascarta’s patented transdermal drug delivery technology, Professor Emeritus at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Chief Scientific Officer.

Chairman and CEO Richard Prince, Ph.D. added: “These data indicate the potential of VAS-101 to become the standard of care in osteoarthritis. We intend to accelerate our efforts in the development of VAS-101 for osteoarthritis with the anticipated filing of an Investigational New Drug Application to the United States Food & Drug Administration later this year.” 

About Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition affecting millions of adults worldwide. It is characterized by chronic pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and progressive deterioration of joint cartilage.

About VAS-101
VAS-101 is an investigational topical curcumin formulation developed and patented by Vascarta. It is designed to deliver curcumin through the skin directly into affected joints, potentially providing localized and enhanced systemic anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

About Vascarta
Vascarta Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies to address chronic pain and inflammation. The company’s proprietary drug delivery platform supports a growing pipeline of therapies targeting inflammatory diseases and cancer.

NEW YORK, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The all-new 2027 Kia EV3 made its North American debut today at the New York International Auto Show, setting a new benchmark as the most attainable model in Kia’s growing electric vehicle lineup, which includes the popular EV6 and EV9 models. The EV3 is an entry EV SUV that offers many of the advanced amenities of an EV9 in a smart and approachable package. Ultimately, it is designed to deliver efficient, all-electric performance with a compact footprint.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/kia/9375052-en-new-2027-kia-ev3-debuts-new-york-international-auto-show

“The Kia EV3 represents a bold step forward in our commitment to making electric mobility accessible to more Americans,” said Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America. “With its striking geometric design inspired by EV9, advanced technology, and spacious interior, the EV3 brings the innovation of our EV lineup into an entry EV SUV tailored for the way U.S. customers live, work, and travel.”

The EV3 is tailored to meet the lifestyle and usage of both younger and older buyers, from millennials to baby boomers, centered on universally appealing attributes such as affordability, utility, and maneuverability.  Based on the 400V Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the EV3 features an energy-dense battery allowing up to a Kia-estimated² 320 miles of range on certain trims with fast charging capabilities.

Right-sized for those who welcome the invitation to go electric, the 2027 Kia EV3 will be available in five trim levels: Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT. It will go on sale in late 2026. Pricing will be announced closer to the EV3’s on-sale date.

Engaging on the Outside

Guided by Kia’s global Opposites United design philosophy, the EV3 juxtaposes contrasts found in nature with those of the human and industrial world. As such, it shares the same fundamental design language as Kia’s pioneering EV6 and EV9 models.

Upon approach, the first thing to catch the eye is the star map DRL design, Kia’s signature lighting concept with standard small cube LED projector head lamps. The vertically arranged lights emphasize the EV3’s broad front-end, while the horizontally configured lights underscore the latest interpretation of Kia’s Tiger Face, giving the EV3 an expressive and futuristic look. Overall, the EV3’s front-facing persona exudes EV9 like boldness and confidence in a concisely wrapped package.

The aerodynamic profile combines short overhangs and a sloping roof that gives the illusion that it’s floating as it moves rearward. Flush-type roof rails are standard (bridge-type roof rails are optional). The roofline leads back to the combination taillamps that reflect the Star Map lighting design found up front. The hidden rear door handles lend to the EV3’s clean side view similar to EV9.

The EV3’s planted stance meets the pavement with either standard 17-inch or available 19-inch alloy wheels wearing all-season tires. Compared to the base trims, the EV3 GT-Line and GT bring exclusive design elements to create more visually striking packages. The GT gets unique 19-inch wheels and eye-catching green brake caliper covers that match other exterior and interior neon green accents.

And on certain trims, a special Nightfall black appearance package, specifically imagined for the U.S., will be available. Nightfall will include unique gloss black wheels, black emblems, bridge-type roof rails, and a unique dark gray interior color to exude a more serious character.

Space, Comfort and Utility Inside

In the same way that ‘Opposites United’ defines the exterior of the EV3, Kia’s unique design language brings nature and humanity together on the inside. Here, designers applied durable materials while still achieving a rich look and feel.

The home-like cabin is headlined by an expansive standard panoramic display consisting of dual 12.3-inch displays and a 5-inch climate display. GT-Line includes a three-spoke steering wheel, metal pedals, and off-white 2-tone seats, while the GT model also gets sport bucket front seats and neon green accented seatbelts, steering wheel, and interior trim. 

The driver and front passenger area features a clean and open layout appealing to those who value simplicity and practicality. An open center console with retractable cupholders allows for flexible storage for larger items and features both open and covered storage compartments for the flexibility to meet customer needs.

The cabin experience is further elevated with standard dual-zone Fully Automatic Temperature Control (FATC), optional heated¹⁷ and ventilated front seats, and optional multicolor ambient mood lighting. Rear seat passengers can enjoy standard features such as seat backs that recline up to 39 degrees and air vents that provide a restful atmosphere.

In the cargo area, EV3 delivers on roominess and utility thanks to 60/40 flat folding rear seats, a generously sized cargo area with 56.5 cubic feet of capacity behind the first row and 26.1 cubic feet of capacity behind the second row, a standard two-position luggage board with underfloor storage, and a 0.9 cubic foot frunk, a feature not commonly found in this class. An optional Smart Power Liftgate is also available, which automatically opens by way of Smart Key for easy load-in of groceries or gear. Opening height and speed of the liftgate can be set through the infotainment system.

Electrified Power and Performance

Underpinned by Kia’s dedicated 400V E-GMP platform, the Kia EV3 is powered by a choice of two batteries options: a standard-range 58.3 kWh battery (Light) or a long-range 81.4 kWh battery (Wind, Land, GT-Line, GT). The smaller of the two batteries provides power to the front-wheels only, while the larger battery makes all-wheel-drive (AWD) possible (optional on Wind and Land; standard on GT-Line and GT). As far as all-electric range goes, the 58.3 kWh battery allows up to a Kia-estimated² 220 miles and the 81.4 kWh battery allows up to a Kia-estimated² 320 miles (FWD).

On the performance side, the EV3 GT outputs 288 horsepower (up from 261 hp on AWD EV3 models). Available Virtual Gear Shift (VGS) and Active Sound Design (ASD) further enhance driving engagement and help deliver a more spirited on-road experience.

The EV3’s driving stability, ride comfort and responsiveness are the result of a Macpherson strut suspension at the front and a multi-link geometry at the rear. The EV3 GT benefits from a sport-tuned suspension and steering. Aside from ride and handling prowess, advanced chassis development was aimed at reducing NVH.  Engineers added sound absorption throughout the body and applied damping materials to increase quietness for highway and around-town driving.

To further enhance efficiency and performance, the EV3’s aerodynamics have been improved. Kia expanded use of lightweight body materials, employed aero wheels, integrated a front bumper active air flap and installed a full underbody cover. The result is a drag coefficient of 0.275 Cd.

When it comes to DC fast charging, the EV3’s battery can power up from 10 to 80 percent charge in an estimated 29 minutes¹ for the 58.3 kWh (Light) battery and 31 minutes¹ for the 81.4 kWh (Wind, Land, GT-Line, GT) battery.

For ease of use, there’s a native NACS charging port on the front passenger side of the EV3. And with the standard Kia Plug and Charge (PnC)³ feature, the EV3 can now charge seamlessly by pulling up to a compatible charging station and plugging in. This process only requires a one-time login and setup through Kia Charge Pass in the Kia Access app.

Kia’s innovative i-Pedal 3.0⁶ system helps drivers to smoothly control the speed of the vehicle and can bring it to a complete stop using only the accelerator pedal. This feature works in tandem with EV3’s adaptive Smart Regeneration System⁷ function to help recapture energy otherwise lost when brakes are applied. The i-Pedal 3.0 system also now works in reverse and the EV3’s i-Pedal memory function reverts to the last-used i-Pedal setting when the car restarts.

Taking practicality to new heights, the EV3 brings available Vehicle to Load (V2L) functionality,⁸ allowing the vehicle to provide power from its battery to compatible external devices. This can mean everything from powering a laptop, brewing coffee, charging up an e-bike and countless other applications. V2L opens the door to activities and projects that may otherwise require a cumbersome external power source.

Beyond V2L, EV3 also brings available Vehicle to Home (V2H)¹⁸ functionality via a Wallbox bidirectional charging system,¹⁹ which can reduce utility costs by providing power back to the home during peak energy usage times. V2H can also help keep parts of the home powered during outages (requires power recovery unit in addition to bidirectional charger).

Packed with Convenience, Tech and Connectivity Features

The EV3 brings together smart and innovative content to elevate the everyday user experience. This starts with Kia’s available Digital Key 2.0.²⁰ This feature transforms your compatible smartphone or mobile device into a virtual car key, enabling locking/unlocking doors, powering the vehicle on, and sharing vehicle access with others remotely via text.

The EV3 features a standard panoramic display comprised of a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, 5-inch climate display and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen. Together, these elements form the core of Kia’s connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC). Setting a new benchmark for in-car content, the Kia-pioneered system which first arrived with the EV9, offers robust connectivity and entertainment features that can be enhanced remotely through over-the-air (OTA) software updates.²¹ Available through the Kia Connect store, Entertainment and Data Services (EDS)¹⁵ is an enhancement to Kia’s existing music streaming and Wi-Fi hotspot services and now includes available video streaming through Netflix and YouTube,¹⁶ in addition to gaming and productivity apps.

The ccNC system also allows drivers to personalize the cockpit with available themed dashboard functions and captivating graphics²² representing some of their favorite sports and entertainment brands, including Disney,²³ Marvel,²⁴ National Geographic,²⁵ Pixar,²⁶ Star Wars,²⁷ FIFA World Cup 2026,²⁸ and the NBA,²⁹ with more on the way. Wireless Apple CarPlay³⁰ and Android Auto³¹ come standard and connect seamlessly to the infotainment system using the smartphone’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities.

The EV3 owner can enjoy a more immersive experience with their vehicle by way of Kia’s highly intuitive, voice-recognition-based AI Assistant.³² This system uses machine learning to achieve a higher level of organic interaction between driver and vehicle, which can deepen the human-to-machine interaction over time.

Other available convenience, tech and connectivity features include a 12-inch head-up display (HUD),¹² a premium eight-speaker Harman Kardon³³ audio system, wireless smartphone charging, 360° Surround-View Monitor (SVM),¹³ and MyQ Connected Garage,³⁴ an intuitive garage door management system that brings peace of mind by addressing the question, “Did I close my garage door?”

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Driving Convenience

Aside from eight standard airbags,⁹ including rear side airbags, the EV3 offers an impressive suite of ADAS systems¹⁰ that support driving and collision avoidance. Of those, Forward Collision Avoidance (FCA) Assist¹¹ is among the most noteworthy, capable of applying automatic emergency braking in certain circumstances to help avoid a collision or reduce the impact of a crash.

Two applications of FCA are standard FCA Junction Turning (FCA-JT) and available FCA Junction Crossing (FCA-JC).  FCA-JT can help avoid a collision with a detected oncoming vehicle when turning left at an intersection with the turn signal active. FCA-JC monitors the roadway when driving straight across an intersection and is designed to detect vehicles approaching on the left or right side. Both systems are designed to initiate audible and visual alerts followed by automatic emergency braking, in certain circumstances.

Other key driving convenience systems available on the EV3 include Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2),³⁵ Reverse Parking Collision Avoidance Assist (PCA-R)³⁶ and Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA).³⁷

NEW YORK, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The all-new 2027 Kia EV3 made its North American debut today at the New York International Auto Show, setting a new benchmark as the most attainable model in Kia’s growing electric vehicle lineup, which includes the popular EV6 and EV9 models. The EV3 is an entry EV SUV that offers many of the advanced amenities of an EV9 in a smart and approachable package. Ultimately, it is designed to deliver efficient, all-electric performance with a compact footprint.

“The Kia EV3 represents a bold step forward in our commitment to making electric mobility accessible to more Americans,” said Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America. “With its striking geometric design inspired by EV9, advanced technology, and spacious interior, the EV3 brings the innovation of our EV lineup into an entry EV SUV tailored for the way U.S. customers live, work, and travel.”

The EV3 is tailored to meet the lifestyle and usage of both younger and older buyers, from millennials to baby boomers, centered on universally appealing attributes such as affordability, utility, and maneuverability.  Based on the 400V Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the EV3 features an energy-dense battery allowing up to a Kia-estimated² 320 miles of range on certain trims with fast charging capabilities.

Right-sized for those who welcome the invitation to go electric, the 2027 Kia EV3 will be available in five trim levels: Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT. It will go on sale in late 2026. Pricing will be announced closer to the EV3’s on-sale date.

Engaging on the Outside

Guided by Kia’s global Opposites United design philosophy, the EV3 juxtaposes contrasts found in nature with those of the human and industrial world. As such, it shares the same fundamental design language as Kia’s pioneering EV6 and EV9 models.

Upon approach, the first thing to catch the eye is the star map DRL design, Kia’s signature lighting concept with standard small cube LED projector head lamps. The vertically arranged lights emphasize the EV3’s broad front-end, while the horizontally configured lights underscore the latest interpretation of Kia’s Tiger Face, giving the EV3 an expressive and futuristic look. Overall, the EV3’s front-facing persona exudes EV9 like boldness and confidence in a concisely wrapped package.

The aerodynamic profile combines short overhangs and a sloping roof that gives the illusion that it’s floating as it moves rearward. Flush-type roof rails are standard (bridge-type roof rails are optional). The roofline leads back to the combination taillamps that reflect the Star Map lighting design found up front. The hidden rear door handles lend to the EV3’s clean side view similar to EV9.

The EV3’s planted stance meets the pavement with either standard 17-inch or available 19-inch alloy wheels wearing all-season tires. Compared to the base trims, the EV3 GT-Line and GT bring exclusive design elements to create more visually striking packages. The GT gets unique 19-inch wheels and eye-catching green brake caliper covers that match other exterior and interior neon green accents.

And on certain trims, a special Nightfall black appearance package, specifically imagined for the U.S., will be available. Nightfall will include unique gloss black wheels, black emblems, bridge-type roof rails, and a unique dark gray interior color to exude a more serious character.

Space, Comfort and Utility Inside

In the same way that ‘Opposites United’ defines the exterior of the EV3, Kia’s unique design language brings nature and humanity together on the inside. Here, designers applied durable materials while still achieving a rich look and feel.

The home-like cabin is headlined by an expansive standard panoramic display consisting of dual 12.3-inch displays and a 5-inch climate display. GT-Line includes a three-spoke steering wheel, metal pedals, and off-white 2-tone seats, while the GT model also gets sport bucket front seats and neon green accented seatbelts, steering wheel, and interior trim. 

The driver and front passenger area features a clean and open layout appealing to those who value simplicity and practicality. An open center console with retractable cupholders allows for flexible storage for larger items and features both open and covered storage compartments for the flexibility to meet customer needs.

The cabin experience is further elevated with standard dual-zone Fully Automatic Temperature Control (FATC), optional heated¹⁷ and ventilated front seats, and optional multicolor ambient mood lighting. Rear seat passengers can enjoy standard features such as seat backs that recline up to 39 degrees and air vents that provide a restful atmosphere.

In the cargo area, EV3 delivers on roominess and utility thanks to 60/40 flat folding rear seats, a generously sized cargo area with 56.5 cubic feet of capacity behind the first row and 26.1 cubic feet of capacity behind the second row, a standard two-position luggage board with underfloor storage, and a 0.9 cubic foot frunk, a feature not commonly found in this class. An optional Smart Power Liftgate is also available, which automatically opens by way of Smart Key for easy load-in of groceries or gear. Opening height and speed of the liftgate can be set through the infotainment system.

Electrified Power and Performance

Underpinned by Kia’s dedicated 400V E-GMP platform, the Kia EV3 is powered by a choice of two batteries options: a standard-range 58.3 kWh battery (Light) or a long-range 81.4 kWh battery (Wind, Land, GT-Line, GT). The smaller of the two batteries provides power to the front-wheels only, while the larger battery makes all-wheel-drive (AWD) possible (optional on Wind and Land; standard on GT-Line and GT). As far as all-electric range goes, the 58.3 kWh battery allows up to a Kia-estimated² 220 miles and the 81.4 kWh battery allows up to a Kia-estimated² 320 miles (FWD).

On the performance side, the EV3 GT outputs 288 horsepower (up from 261 hp on AWD EV3 models). Available Virtual Gear Shift (VGS) and Active Sound Design (ASD) further enhance driving engagement and help deliver a more spirited on-road experience.

The EV3’s driving stability, ride comfort and responsiveness are the result of a Macpherson strut suspension at the front and a multi-link geometry at the rear. The EV3 GT benefits from a sport-tuned suspension and steering. Aside from ride and handling prowess, advanced chassis development was aimed at reducing NVH.  Engineers added sound absorption throughout the body and applied damping materials to increase quietness for highway and around-town driving.

To further enhance efficiency and performance, the EV3’s aerodynamics have been improved. Kia expanded use of lightweight body materials, employed aero wheels, integrated a front bumper active air flap and installed a full underbody cover. The result is a drag coefficient of 0.275 Cd.

When it comes to DC fast charging, the EV3’s battery can power up from 10 to 80 percent charge in an estimated 29 minutes¹ for the 58.3 kWh (Light) battery and 31 minutes¹ for the 81.4 kWh (Wind, Land, GT-Line, GT) battery.

For ease of use, there’s a native NACS charging port on the front passenger side of the EV3. And with the standard Kia Plug and Charge (PnC)³ feature, the EV3 can now charge seamlessly by pulling up to a compatible charging station and plugging in. This process only requires a one-time login and setup through Kia Charge Pass in the Kia Access app.

Kia’s innovative i-Pedal 3.0⁶ system helps drivers to smoothly control the speed of the vehicle and can bring it to a complete stop using only the accelerator pedal. This feature works in tandem with EV3’s adaptive Smart Regeneration System⁷ function to help recapture energy otherwise lost when brakes are applied. The i-Pedal 3.0 system also now works in reverse and the EV3’s i-Pedal memory function reverts to the last-used i-Pedal setting when the car restarts.

Taking practicality to new heights, the EV3 brings available Vehicle to Load (V2L) functionality,⁸ allowing the vehicle to provide power from its battery to compatible external devices. This can mean everything from powering a laptop, brewing coffee, charging up an e-bike and countless other applications. V2L opens the door to activities and projects that may otherwise require a cumbersome external power source.

Beyond V2L, EV3 also brings available Vehicle to Home (V2H)¹⁸ functionality via a Wallbox bidirectional charging system,¹⁹ which can reduce utility costs by providing power back to the home during peak energy usage times. V2H can also help keep parts of the home powered during outages (requires power recovery unit in addition to bidirectional charger).

Packed with Convenience, Tech and Connectivity Features

The EV3 brings together smart and innovative content to elevate the everyday user experience. This starts with Kia’s available Digital Key 2.0.²⁰ This feature transforms your compatible smartphone or mobile device into a virtual car key, enabling locking/unlocking doors, powering the vehicle on, and sharing vehicle access with others remotely via text.

The EV3 features a standard panoramic display comprised of a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, 5-inch climate display and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen. Together, these elements form the core of Kia’s connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC). Setting a new benchmark for in-car content, the Kia-pioneered system which first arrived with the EV9, offers robust connectivity and entertainment features that can be enhanced remotely through over-the-air (OTA) software updates.²¹ Available through the Kia Connect store, Entertainment and Data Services (EDS)¹⁵ is an enhancement to Kia’s existing music streaming and Wi-Fi hotspot services and now includes available video streaming through Netflix and YouTube,¹⁶ in addition to gaming and productivity apps.

The ccNC system also allows drivers to personalize the cockpit with available themed dashboard functions and captivating graphics²² representing some of their favorite sports and entertainment brands, including Disney,²³ Marvel,²⁴ National Geographic,²⁵ Pixar,²⁶ Star Wars,²⁷ FIFA World Cup 2026,²⁸ and the NBA,²⁹ with more on the way. Wireless Apple CarPlay³⁰ and Android Auto³¹ come standard and connect seamlessly to the infotainment system using the smartphone’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities.

The EV3 owner can enjoy a more immersive experience with their vehicle by way of Kia’s highly intuitive, voice-recognition-based AI Assistant.³² This system uses machine learning to achieve a higher level of organic interaction between driver and vehicle, which can deepen the human-to-machine interaction over time.

Other available convenience, tech and connectivity features include a 12-inch head-up display (HUD),¹² a premium eight-speaker Harman Kardon³³ audio system, wireless smartphone charging, 360° Surround-View Monitor (SVM),¹³ and MyQ Connected Garage,³⁴ an intuitive garage door management system that brings peace of mind by addressing the question, “Did I close my garage door?”

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Driving Convenience

Aside from eight standard airbags,⁹ including rear side airbags, the EV3 offers an impressive suite of ADAS systems¹⁰ that support driving and collision avoidance. Of those, Forward Collision Avoidance (FCA) Assist¹¹ is among the most noteworthy, capable of applying automatic emergency braking in certain circumstances to help avoid a collision or reduce the impact of a crash.

Two applications of FCA are standard FCA Junction Turning (FCA-JT) and available FCA Junction Crossing (FCA-JC).  FCA-JT can help avoid a collision with a detected oncoming vehicle when turning left at an intersection with the turn signal active. FCA-JC monitors the roadway when driving straight across an intersection and is designed to detect vehicles approaching on the left or right side. Both systems are designed to initiate audible and visual alerts followed by automatic emergency braking, in certain circumstances.

Other key driving convenience systems available on the EV3 include Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2),³⁵ Reverse Parking Collision Avoidance Assist (PCA-R)³⁶ and Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA).³⁷

“With the launch of the second-generation Kia Seltos the goal was to develop a small SUV that would raise the bar for the segment,” said Orth Hedrick, executive director, Product Planning, Kia North America. “Packed with many standard and available features found on the all-new 2027 Telluride, the 2027 Seltos offers a thought-provoking purchase consideration for cost-conscious shoppers who crave adventure.”

In addition to being larger than its predecessor, the five-passenger 2027 Seltos brings in new features that elevate the small SUV segment, such as flush door handles, an available panoramic sunroof, available Surround View Monitor⁶, and an available up to nearly 30 inches of total combined screens⁹ with Kia’s latest ccNC infotainment tech, including Over-the-Air updates². These features, as well as the available memory power seats, Multi-Mode AWD, and Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning are all features that can also be found in Kia’s Telluride flagship SUV. In addition to carrying over the normally aspirated 2.0-liter and turbocharged 1.6-liter engines, the 2027 Seltos offers a new hybrid powertrain that combines performance and hybrid efficiency, including a Kia first electric-AWD (e-AWD)¹ on a Hybrid SUV. More information on the HEV will be shared closer to the vehicle’s planned on-sale date in late 2026.

The 2.0-liter will be offered in LX, S, EX and X-Line, while the 1.6T will be available in X-Line trim only. The 2.0-liter and 1.6T are expected to arrive in the United States in Q2 2026. Pricing will be announced closer to their on-sale date.

Exterior Design: The Authentic Modern SUV

The Seltos is the latest vehicle to benefit from Kia’s Opposites United design philosophy, bringing together contrasting elements of nature and humanity to create thoughtful, expressive designs. The new Seltos also takes styling cues from the flagship Telluride SUV to carve out its own legacy as a small SUV that embodies a dynamic and energetic persona. Inspired by the design language of the Telluride, amber DRL frames the front fascia, while bold angles, clean lines, combines with flush door handles delivers a strong distinctive presence. At its core, the 2027 Seltos is designed for versatility. It is longer, wider, and boasts a wheelbase that is 2.4 inches greater than its predecessor.

The standard wheels are 16-inch alloys, and the Seltos X-Line 2.0L comes with larger 18-inch alloy wheels, with black 19-inch wheels on the X-Line 1.6T and X-Line HEV when equipped with e-AWD. The X-Line trim also features unique bumpers and side sills with Piano Black trim and dark gun metal accents, underscoring its distinctive persona. New colors include Terrain Brown, Frost Blue and Snow White Pearl with a distinctive black roof. Ground clearance has increased from 7.3 inches to an available 8.1 inches.

Interior Design: Functionally Sophisticated

The larger exterior dimensions of the new 2027 Seltos result in a more spacious cabin and the upright greenhouse allows for exceptional outward visibility. The cabin’s overall design is highly influenced by Kia’s “Opposites United” philosophy. This includes the squared-off steering wheel, open center console design, and clean lines that visually connect the Seltos to the Telluride. The Seltos interior is further punctuated by “blades” that extend the aesthetic of the dash into the front doors, creating an enveloping effect around the driver and front passenger.

Drawing inspiration from the Telluride and EV9, the Seltos Hybrid features a stalk-mounted shifter and push-button start. This is an ergonomic shift controller that moves right to where your hand naturally rests at the steering wheel. In doing so, the center console is left open, with plenty of space for water bottles, phones, and other small items.

In addition to its unique exterior, X-Line comes with an exclusive monotone black interior with SynTex upholstery and Telluride-inspired mesh headrests. The X-Line seats also boast standard four-way lumbar support and the X-Line Prestige Package includes front driver Relaxation Seat.

The longer wheelbase and greater overall length result in more legroom front and rear with 1-inch increase in rear legroom. Overall head room, hip room and shoulder room also increase.

Cargo capacity is improved, with an estimated 64.1 cu-ft. behind the first row and an estimated 27.8 cu-ft. behind the second row. The new Seltos also features a height adjustable and multi-folding luggage board and new flexible Kia Add Gear attachment points that offer drivers more storage solutions for their next adventure.

Tech Suite: Functionally Sophisticated

The all-new Seltos has thoughtful deployment of technology designed for daily life, highlighted by the digital dash display. It includes a standard 12.3-inch digital touchscreen display and is available with a 12.3-inch instrument display and 5-inch climate display panel⁹. The ccNC setup features over-the-air² update capability. Wireless Apple CarPlay¹⁰ and Android Auto¹¹ are standard across all trims.

Kia’s generative AI assistant³ allows for a more natural conversation, and can be initiated simply by saying, “Hey, Kia…”. Kia Connect¹² allows consumers to use their compatible smartphones to send remote commands such as lock, unlock, cool, heat and start the vehicle¹³.

The 2027 Seltos is available with Entertainment and Data Services¹⁴, which supports streaming for Disney+, Netflix, and YouTube. There are also available display themes for some of Disney’s© most iconic brands, which will be introduced throughout 2026. Display themes are also available for all 30 NBA teams, as well as themes to celebrate Kia’s sponsorship of the 2026 FIFA World Cup¹⁵. Kia myQ Connected Garage offers fully integrated, convenient garage access that lets you remotely manage and control your garage door through your Kia touchscreen display¹⁶. Experience all the new ways to stay connected and entertained with these upcoming features and more, all available in the Kia Connect Store.

The 2027 Seltos can help keep devices charged with multiple standard USB-C ports that span both rows. The front-row ports are nestled between the center console and the climate controls and include a media port and two charging ports. The rear-seat charging ports are integrated into the first-row seatbacks for easy access.

Seltos Powertrains: Three Ways to Adventure

The Seltos is the only offering in the segment to offer three powertrain options starting with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with Kia’s Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). For those seeking lively pickup, the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine develops an estimated 190 horsepower with standard advanced Multi-Mode AWD system. This engine routes power through an 8-speed automatic transmission with manual control. The 2.0L powertrain is offered with front-wheel drive or an available advanced Multi-Mode AWD system¹. Depending on trim, 8.1 inches of ground clearance, the Seltos bolsters its capability within the segment.

Rounding out the lineup is a hybrid powertrain, which is a first for the Seltos. An advanced 1.6-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine is paired with a 6-speed dual clutch transmission designed to enhance both performance and efficiency. Front-wheel drive HEV improves driving efficiency while available e-AWD¹, Kia first on a HEV SUV, provides more power with on-demand all-wheel drive capability to provide a more rewarding driving experience. More information on the Seltos HEV will become available later this year. Official fuel economy figures for these versatile powertrains will be available closer to their respective on-sale dates.

Seltos ADAS: Elevated Peace of Mind

The all-new 2027 Seltos comes with a comprehensive list of standard and available Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)¹ bringing features typically found in more upscale SUVs. This includes new-to-Seltos features such as standard Forward Collision Avoidance (FCA) Assist with Junction Turning, standard Front and Reverse Parking Distance Warning, and newly available Side Parking Distance Warning with Reverse Parking Collision Avoidance. The Seltos now offers an optional 360° Surround-View Monitor, as well as Kia’s Blind-Spot View Monitor¹⁷, which presents a video feed display of the left or right blind spot area on the digital display when the corresponding turn-signal is activated. This Blind Spot View Monitor and 360° Surround-View Monitor are optional on the X-Line trim.

The list of standard ADAS features includes Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Driver Attention Warning with Leading Vehicle Departure Alert, High-Beam Assist, Intelligent Speed-Limit Warning, and Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection. It also comes standard with Lane Following Assist 2. Available ADAS features include Intelligent Speed-Limit Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Avoidance and Safe Exit Warning¹⁸, which is designed to provide an alert to occupants if it detects another vehicle approaching as they are exiting the vehicle.
