What’s even more exciting is the incredibly low deposit required – a mere $750. Yes. Kia’s new SUV. You can reserve your Kia EV9 for just $750. This groundbreaking move comes as electric vehicles continue to dominate the automotive landscape. The Kia’s EV9 is poised to play a pivotal role in this green revolution.
The Kia EV9 isn’t just an ordinary vehicle. It’s one of the best and most anticipated electric vehicles available on the market right now. But, looking at the bigger picture, the EV9 is also a symbol of the industry’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
In this article, we’ll dive into the details of the Kia EV9’s release, price, and availability date. We will explore the key features of the EV9, like the powertrain, battery capacity, and driving range.
Kia EV9 Comes With The E-GMP Platform
The EV9 is the second Kia vehicle built upon the E-GMP platform, following the EV6, which made its debut in 2021. While it may be the second built on the platform, there is a first. The Kia EV9 is the first model to integrate fourth-generation battery technology, optimized for improved energy density.
Starting on October 16, the EV9 is ready to be reserved in the United States. It will start arriving in dealer showrooms across India by the fourth quarter of 2023. This groundbreaking EV offers two distinct powertrain options to cater to a variety of driving preferences.
The Kia EV9 Is a Powerful Electric Vehicle
For the standard package, customers will get a 76.1-kWh battery. This battery teams with a 160-kW ( 215 horsepower) motor, bringing rear-wheel drive to the forefront of the show.
If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, there’s the optional 99.8-kWh battery. Unlike the 76.1-kWh battery, you can have the 99.8-kWh battery pack in two flavors: a single-motor setup at 201 horsepower, or the dual-motor boasting 283-kW (379 hp) for the ultimate all-wheel-drive experience.
“The EV9’s powertrain offerings deliver AER and performance capabilities for our customers’ needs. The EV9 Light trim offers an all-electric driving range for long-distance family travel, while the GT-Line trim provides spirited acceleration for around-town driving,” said Steven Center, COO & EVP of Kia America.
