The EV9 fuses a progressive, bold design with authentic SUV character. The name, EV9, comes from Kia’s EV nomenclature, pairing the prefix ‘EV’ (electric vehicle) with the number ‘9’, which represents the model’s segment among Kia’s dedicated electric vehicle lineup. It will be the first three-row electric SUVWe expect the EV9 to be larger than the Telluride and available in the U.S. by the third quarter but have no definitive information. Like the Kia EV6, the Kia EV9 is built upon the company’s dedicated battery electric vehicle platform, the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP).

“The EV9 is a stunner, with the kind of bold bossy presence usually reserved for vehicles that cost twice or three times as much, including icons like the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen or Range Rover. It’s positively chiseled, as if the brand’s popular Telluride three-row SUV, already a handsome truck, went in for cool-sculpting, and then worked out with Tom Cruise’s trainer. It’s audacious without being threatening like the GMC Hummer SUV or (gasp) the heinous Cybertruck, a compelling result of Kia’s iterative process, which is intended not to shock but to improve,” says Autoblog.

Look for the Kia EV9 World Premiere later this month.
