The well-equipped EV9 Light redefines the entry point for all-electric, three-row SUVs in the United States. The EV9 Light RWD will come standard with DC fast-charging capability on an 800-volt architecture, accommodations for up to seven passengers, 19-inch alloy wheels, 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat with heating and ventilation. Powering the rear-wheel-drive EV9 Light is a seamless permanent magnet synchronous electric motor that produces 215 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. The rear-wheel-drive, 201-hp EV9 Light Long Range replaces the standard battery with a 99.8-kWh battery and offers captain’s chairs for second-row passengers. The EV9 also features an Onboard Power Generator (V2L), which can power certain appliances, and can support vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities8. Meanwhile, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCTA) and Parking Distance Warning Forward and Reverse (PDW) are designed to facilitate parking maneuvers in a variety of circumstances.

With standard, torque-vectoring e-AWD, the EV9 Wind is a no-compromise, dual-motor powertrain configuration. Motors on the front and rear axles combine to produce 379 horsepower, 443 lb.-ft torque and ground clearance increases to 7.8 inches. A heat pump and heated steering wheel are included.

The EV9 Land adds comfort, convenience, style, and technology features. The Digital Pattern Lighting Grille and standard 20-inch wheels project visual exterior flair. The interior ambience of the EV9 Land is heightened by a heated, powered tilt and telescoping steering wheel, Full Display Mirror, and 14-speaker Meridian audio system, among other features. The EV9 Land adds advanced technology including Surround View Monitor (SVM) and Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM). Like the EV9 Wind, the EV9 Land produces 379 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft of torque. An optional Towing Package can increase towing capability to 5000 lbs.

The design-driven, all-wheel-drive EV9 GT-Line adds unique front and rear fascia, as well as 21-inch wheels and gloss black finishes. The interior of the EV9 GT-Line is commensurately premium and design-focused, with trim-exclusive interior details, and electric, relaxation-mode seating16. Standard Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 is designed to assist with remote parking in, or exiting from, certain parking spots with the driver operating the EV9 from outside the vehicle, as well as smart parking while the driver is inside the vehicle17. A dual-motor, 283-kW (379-hp) torque vectoring all-wheel-drive configuration with 516 lb.-ft. of torque is standard on the GT-Line.

Deliveries of the 2024 EV9 in the U.S. are slated to begin in late 2023. Production of the EV9 in North America at Kia’s state-of-the-art facility in West Point, Ga., is expected to commence in 2024.
