2024 Kia Ev9 Overview
It started with the EV6, now comes the six- or seven-seat EV9. It’s a full-sized crossover that anchors the top-end of Kia’s growing electric range. To put it into perspective, it’s larger than the Telluride and comes with more toys. In the coming years, EV9 will be joined by the EV3 and EV5. These crossovers slot into the compact and mid-sized segments. If there’s any justice, they will be joined by the sleek EV4 sedan. It all part of the Kia’s transition into the electric era.
What’s new with the Kia EV9 for 2024?
The all-new EV9 is offered with a diverse range of models and different powertrain choices. There’s the Light with the standard-battery and the Wind with the long-range battery. Both use of a single motor, so they are rear-wheel-drive (RWD). All other EV9 models use the long-range battery and a two-motor setup. This brings all-wheel-drive and much better performance. Inside, it’s all about luxury — go full-zoot and it’s tough to think of a missing amenity!
2024 Kia EV9 Performance
The starting point for the EV9 range is rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Light. It has a 76.1 kilowatt-hour battery and a rear-mounted motor that delivers 215 hp, 258 lb-ft of torque and a driving range of 370-km. All other EV9 models use the larger 99.8-kWh battery. The Wind RWD has 201 hp, 258 lb-ft of torque and a driving range of 489-kilometres. The rear-drive models have a limited towing capacity of 907-kg.
The two-motor Land all-wheel-drive (AWD) gets 379 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The Land and Land Premium (a package) have a driving range of 451-km. Adding the GT-Line package to the Land drops the range slightly to 435-km. The two-motor format does two good things. First, the run from rest to 100 km/h drops from 9.0 seconds for the rear-drive Wind to 5.2 seconds for GT-Line. Second, the tow capacity rises to 2,268-kg.
2024 Kia EV9 Efficiency
The Wind and Light RWD models have posted average fuel economies of 2.6 Le/100 km and 2.7 Le/100 km, respectively. Both have an annual fuel cost of $755. The EV9 Land AWD comes in at 2.8 Le/100 km with an annual cost of $816. The Land AWD GT-Line bumps that to 2.9 Le/100 km and and an annual fuel cost of $835.
The EV9’s 800-volt electric architecture allows the 76.1-kWh battery to be charged from 10 to 80 per cent using a 350-kW DC fast charger in 20 minutes. A Level 2 charger replenishes the battery in 6 hours and 45 minutes. Move up to the larger 99.8-kWh battery and the 10 to 80 per cent time using a 350-kW DC fast charger is 24 minutes. It takes 8 hours and 45 minutes for a Level 2 charger.

2024 Kia EV9 Interior
The EV9’s cabin is luxurious, quiet and packed with high-quality features. In all models, the focal point is the combined instrumentation and infotainment screen — two 12.3-inch screens sit under a single piece of glass. The effect is stunning, displaying everything in a clean and concise manner. The highlight is the way the remaining driving range is displayed and the fact the number shown is an accurate reflection on how far the EV9 can drive. Standard niceties run from power heated/cooled front seats to Kia Connect and a digital key that allows a smartphone to unlock and start the EV9.
2024 Kia EV9 Dimensions
Both the six- and seven-seat versions of the EV9 qualify as roomy plus. There’s lots of space in the front and middle rows, and the third row, with 783-mm of legroom, is roomier than most. Ditto the cargo volume. It measures 573-litres with the third row upright and 1,233L when folded. Dropping the middle row opens up a generous 2,314L.
