Kia EV9 2023– car dimensions: 5010 mm long, 1980 mm wide and 1755 mm high. Unladen weight is 2,426 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 333 litres.
The cabin has a triple panoramic display with twin 12.3-inch screens for the driver cluster and touchscreen navigation plus a 5.3-inch climate panel. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard along with three-zone climate control. Driver aids include smart cruise control with stop and go, forward collision avoidance, blind-spot collision avoidance, lane keep assist, lane follow assist, front and rear parking sensors, and a reversing camera often paired with surround view.
Boot space is 333 litres with the third row up. This rises to 828 litres behind the second row and reaches 2393 litres with seats folded. A frunk adds 52 to 90 litres depending on drivetrain.
Braked towing capacity is 900 kg on RWD models and 2500 kg on AWD models. Unbraked figures are 450 kg for RWD and 750 kg for AWD. Payload sits between roughly 540 kg and 640 kg depending on configuration and kerb weight.
Self-levelling rear suspension appears on higher trims or with a tow package to aid stability when loaded or towing. The vehicle suits family and light work use with its three-row layout and available V2L power outlet.
The cabin is spacious and lounge-like across three rows with flat-floor architecture. Front seats are multi-way power adjustable with lumbar support as standard, often heated and ventilated. higher grades add relaxation mode with power leg rests, massage and adjustable bolsters. Outer second-row seats are heated and ventilated on most grades. Acoustic glass keeps noise low for a quiet ride. Tri-zone climate control with rear vents and a dual sunroof on higher grades add airiness and comfort for long trips.
All-electric with WLTP energy use of 199-228 Wh/km depending on drivetrain and wheels. combined range up to 349 miles.
Service interval 24 months or 20,000 miles. tire rotation every 8,000 miles, cabin filter every 15-24,000 miles, brake fluid every 48,000 miles or 4 years, battery coolant first at 120,000 miles or 10 years.
Euro NCAP 5 stars (2023): adult 84%, child 88%, vulnerable road users 76%, safety assist 83%. NHTSA overall 5 stars.
Standard safety includes 10 airbags, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian/cyclist/junction detection, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Highway Driving Assist 2, multi-collision brake and surround-view camera.
Warranty typically 7 years/100,000 miles in Europe (battery included to 70% capacity). US 5 years/60,000 miles basic and 10 years/100,000 miles powertrain/battery.
The EV9 runs purely on electricity from a 76.1 or 99.8 kWh battery. Expect combined energy use of roughly 20-23 kWh/100 km and WLTP range from about 313 to 349 miles depending on RWD or AWD and wheel size. DC fast charging reaches 10-80% in around 24 minutes on a high-power charger. AC full charge takes about 9 hours on a 48A wallbox.
Servicing is lighter than a combustion SUV. No oil changes or spark plugs. Follow the schedule for tire rotations every 8,000 miles, cabin filter swaps every 15-24,000 miles, brake fluid every 48,000 miles or four years, and high-voltage battery coolant at 120,000 miles or 10 years. Regenerative braking reduces pad wear. A multi-point inspection and software checks occur at each visit.
Crash safety is strong with a full five-star Euro NCAP score and high NHTSA ratings. Ten airbags including a front-centre unit protect occupants. Standard ADAS covers automatic emergency braking with junction and pedestrian detection, blind-spot avoidance, lane keeping and following, adaptive cruise with highway assist, parking collision avoidance and a 360-degree camera. Some markets offer Level 3 highway pilot capability where regulations allow.
Ownership is straightforward with a long warranty that covers the battery. Vehicle-to-load lets you power external devices. Over-the-air updates keep systems current. Real-world running costs stay low thanks to minimal scheduled maintenance and regenerative braking.
