Kia K3 in Uzbekistan: ADM Jizzakh launches production of the new model

On April 27, 2026, the ADM Jizzakh plant launched CKD production of the new Kia K3. This is an important milestone for the Uzbek automotive market, reflecting the development of local production and the expansion of the Kia brand's model lineup.
The Kia K3 is the second Kia model to be manufactured at the plant using a full production cycle, following the Kia Sonet. The project envisions a production capacity of up to 25,000 vehicles per year, with the potential to increase capacity to 40,000.
To implement the project, the plant has launched new production areas, including welding, paint, and assembly shops equipped with modern equipment. This expansion is part of the strategy to develop the automotive cluster and increase local content.


The new model belongs to the compact sedan segment. It features a distinctive design with fastback elements, LED headlights, and 17-inch alloy wheels, emphasizing the car's dynamic character.



The interior features dual-zone climate control, a multimedia system with a 10.25-inch widescreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, ambient lighting, and wireless smartphone charging. A spacious interior, thoughtful ergonomics, and a capacious 544-liter trunk make this model ideal for everyday use.



Safety systems include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including forward collision avoidance, blind spot monitoring, and lane keeping assist.
The model will be available with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine producing 123 hp and a 1.4-liter gasoline engine producing 100 hp, providing an optimal balance between performance and fuel economy, particularly suitable for urban driving.
The Kia K3 is a modern and versatile sedan that combines style, features, and reliability, remaining an attractive choice in its segment.
Kia vehicles manufactured in Uzbekistan are covered by a 5-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty. Pricing will be officially announced in May 2026.
