EV9

The Kia EV9 is a battery-electric full-size SUV produced by Kia. It was unveiled in 2023 as the brand’s flagship electric vehicle and is built on the Hyundai Motor Group’s E-GMP platform, which underpins several of the group’s newer electric models.

Designed around family mobility, the EV9 emphasizes three-row seating and a roomy interior with flexible cargo space. Its exterior combines a tall, aerodynamic profile with signature LED lighting and a distinctive grille design. Inside, the cabin features a technology-forward cockpit with large digital displays and materials chosen with sustainability in mind.

Power and charging options include rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations, utilizing an 800-volt electrical architecture. The EV9 supports fast charging at high power and offers multiple battery sizes to balance range, efficiency, and price. Real-world range varies by configuration and testing cycle, with higher-capacity versions delivering the longest driving distance.

Technology and safety features include Kia’s driver-assistance suites, such as highway and parking aids, as well as an advanced infotainment system with connectivity and over-the-air updates. The model is designed to offer a blend of comfort, practicality, and progressive technology for family use.

Production takes place at Kia’s Hwaseong plant in South Korea for global markets. The EV9 is part of Kia’s broader push to electrify its lineup and is positioned to compete with other large electric SUVs in North America and Europe.
