The Kia EV9 is here, and it's ready to revolutionize the way we think about electric vehicles. Combining bold design with authentic SUV character, this all-new vehicle is a game-changer. Inspired by Kia's "Opposites United" design philosophy, the EV9 blends contrasting elements of nature and modernity into its exterior.
The sleek, bold design will make you feel confident as you drive - and its spacious interior, thanks to Kia's E-GMP flat-floor architecture, offers third-row seating for maximum comfort. This month marks the global debut of the EV9 - a crucial step in Kia's journey towards creating sustainable mobility solutions that are designed to meet our needs today and tomorrow.
"The Kia EV9 breaks new ground, aiming to redefine standards for design, connectivity, usability and environmental responsibility," said Karim Habib, Executive Vice President and Head of Kia Global Design Center. "The Kia EV9 offers customers an exceptionally high-quality proposition and a fresh EV perspective in the family SUV sector. This new vehicle typology provides instinctive experiences and excellent comfort for not just the driver, but all occupants, through innovative use of space, technology and design."
Design Fusion: Combines bold modern design with authentic SUV character
The Kia EV9 is paving new paths for electric SUV design with its bold exterior, inspired by Kia's "Opposites United" design philosophy. The front of the vehicle exudes confidence, clarity, and calmness; prominent headlamps flow into the innovative Digital Tiger Face that features two clusters of cube lamps. Dynamic triangular fender structures and pronounced wheel arches combine with the sleek body, while flush door handles and a tapered back roofline give a sense of smooth, efficient motion. Finally, at the rear of the vehicle, simple, clean lines complete its confident stance.
As for interior design, it has been reimagined to prioritize space, comfort and technology for all occupants, creating a new social space. The E-GMP platform allows for the inclusion of lounge-style seating in all three rows, with the second-row seats able to swivel 180 degrees and the third row equipped with cup holders and charging points. A simple, user-friendly interior with an open floating panoramic dashboard extends from the steering wheel to the vehicle's center, and two 12.3-inch touch screens integrated with one 5-inch segment display ensure effortless control of the vehicle’s functions. An extended display high-definition audio-visual navigation system creates a rich and immersive experience while hidden type touch buttons provide a start/stop function along with AVNT and HVAC control.
In conclusion, the Kia EV9 is (almost) here, and it's ready to revolutionize how we think about electric cars. Responsible, modern, and bold - this vehicle has something for everyone. With its sophisticated design and comfortable interior, the EV9 is a perfect blend of style and functionality that will keep you connected wherever you go.
