Is this the same car as the Kia Nio EV?

No. KX3 has a 2590 mm wheelbase, Niro 2700 mm. The KX3 (or KX3 Concept) was the design starting point for the Niro but it was developed purposefully with electrification in mind, for more mature markets.

Nicely and briefly explained here

Introduced as a design study at the 2014 Guangzhou Motor Show in China, the Kia KX3 concept vehicle became production reality soon after the pomp and circumstance-less unveiling. Based on the Hyundai ix25 and intended as a China-only model, it seems like the South Korean manufacturer plans to adapt the KX3 to European specifications and purportedly relabel it as the Niro.
