Kia EV3, SV1 (EU)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Kia EV3 and SV1 (EU) models use brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals occur every 300000 km or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
EV3 58 kWh (150 kW) (2024- )
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 300000 km/ 24 months
EV3 81 kWh (150 kW) (2024- )
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 300000 km/ 24 months

Additional Notes

  • Both the Kia EV3 58 kWh (150 kW) and the EV3 81 kWh (150 kW) share an identical brake fluid service interval of 300,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The fill level specification of "between min and max" indicates a reservoir-based top-up approach rather than a fixed volume, meaning no single capacity figure in liters applies to either configuration.
  • A 24-month time limit alongside the 300,000 km distance interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time regardless of mileage accumulated.
  • The hydraulic brake system note present in both the 58 kWh and 81 kWh variants confirms that conventional hydraulic actuation is retained, distinguishing the brake fluid circuit from any purely electronic or dry braking mechanism.
