The Kia EV9 AWD, launched in September 2023, is Kia’s flagship electric SUV built on the E-GMP 800V platform. Designed for families and long-distance driving, this all-wheel drive model packs a 96.0 kWh usable battery, producing 283 kW (385 PS) and 600 Nm of torque. It sprints from 0–100 km/h in just 6.0 seconds while maintaining a calm, luxurious drive.
In real-world conditions, the EV9 offers an estimated 435 km range, though mild weather performance can extend up to 490 km. Energy use averages 221 Wh/km, balancing efficiency with performance in a large SUV body.
Charging is where the EV9 shines. Thanks to its 800V architecture, it supports 209 kW DC fast charging, recharging from 10–80% in just 22 minutes, and supports 11 kW AC charging at home or destination points. The model also integrates Plug & Charge and Autocharge with full ISO 15118-2 compatibility for simplified sessions.
The interior supports 7 passengers, with up to 2,393 liters of cargo space and 4 ISOFIX points, ideal for families. It includes V2L (3.6 kW) and V2G/V2H AC support (11 kW), enabling power sharing and energy backup functions.
Safety is backed by a 2023 Euro NCAP rating with 84% adult and 88% child occupant protection. Its high build, large footprint (5010 mm long), and towing ability (up to 2500 kg braked) make it a versatile electric SUV.
