Get a sneak peek at the EV9 Electric SUV as it undergoes testing in India. Stay tuned for its potential launch in June 2024.
Key Highlights:
The anticipation surrounding the electrification of India's automotive landscape takes a significant leap forward with the imminent arrival of the Kia EV9, set to debut as the most luxurious offering from the Korean automaker, KIA, on Indian soil. Spotted undergoing rigorous testing on Indian roads, the EV9 promises to redefine luxury and sustainability in the realm of electric SUVs.
At the forefront, sleek headlights intricately integrated with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) create a captivating aura, while the absence of a traditional grille signifies its electric identity. A subtle air vent beneath the bumper ensures optimal cooling for the vehicle's vital components. Flaunting a robust profile characterized by bold lines and flared wheel arches, the EV9 rides on distinctive alloy wheels, underscoring its premium stance. The rear fascia exudes athleticism, featuring a subtle spoiler atop a clean, minimalist tailgate adorned with L-shaped taillights.

A dual integrated 12.3-inch infotainment and driver's display interface dominate the dashboard, offering seamless access and better functionalities. Below the infotainment screen, a row of touch-sensitive buttons ensures intuitive control, complemented by a secondary array of physical buttons for air conditioning adjustments, facilitating a user-friendly experience. The driver commands the road with a robust four-spoke steering wheel, epitomising control and precision. Notably, the EV9's three-row layout marks a pioneering venture in the realm of electric luxury SUVs, promising unparalleled comfort and versatility for occupants.
Versatility defines the powertrain lineup of the Kia EV9, with two broad variants catering to diverse preferences. Enthusiasts can opt for either the Standard Range or Long Range configuration, each offering distinctive performance characteristics.
The rear-wheel-drive Standard Range variant boasts a single motor delivering 217 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque, propelling the vehicle with finesse. Meanwhile, the Long Range variant offers enhanced capability, featuring either a single motor rear-wheel drive or a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, generating up to 385 PS of power and 600 Nm of torque, ensuring exhilarating performance on any terrain.
Moreover, with battery capacities ranging from 76.1 kWh to 99.8kWh, the EV9 promises an impressive claimed range, exceeding 541 km on a single charge, depending on the selected powertrain configuration.
Positioned at the apex of luxury and innovation, the Kia EV9 is poised to enter the Indian market by June 2024 as a fully imported model, as a CBU (Completely Built Unit) commanding an anticipated price tag near the Rs 1 crore mark (ex-showroom). Despite its premium positioning, the EV9 presents a compelling value proposition, offering a practical and accessible alternative to rival luxury EVs such as the BMW iX, Audi Q8 e-tron, and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, thereby redefining the landscape of electric mobility in India.
As anticipation mounts and excitement reaches, the Kia EV9 emerges as a beacon of progress, heralding a new era of sustainable luxury on Indian roads. With its unparalleled blend of performance, sophistication, and eco-consciousness, the EV9 stands poised to revolutionise the automotive landscape, inspiring a future where luxury knows no bounds and sustainability reigns supreme.
