The EV9: Accelerating towards a future of sustainable mobility
The Kia EV9 has triumphed in the What Car? Car of the Year awards, winning the highly sought-after Best Electric Car 2024. As the category aims to confirm what the best electric car of the year is, it’s unsurprising that it’s fiercely competitive.
The all-electric SUV went up against tough competition, coming out on top over industry heavyweights like the Tesla Model 3 and the BMW iX3 .
We officially launched the EV9 earlier last year, and the pure electric car has already begun to set new standards in sustainable mobility. ‘Best Electric’ is not the electric SUV’s
first award; last year it was named Best New Car
in 2023 in the What Car? Reader Awards.
The multi-award winning EV9 headlines our EV lineup and embodies our vision for an all-electric future that’s accessible for all.
Our best electric car offering seamless performance and ultimate comfort
Bringing boundless innovation, dynamic performance and premium comfort under one roof, the Kia EV9
is our most generation-defining electric car
yet.
Thanks to our revolutionary e-GMP and largest battery yet, the EV9 boasts the longest range
of our lineup, travelling up to 349 miles* between charges. With flexible charging solutions, topping up your battery won’t slow you down. Ultra-fast charging enables you to recharge the battery from 10% to 80% in 24 minutes, or 154 miles in just 15 minutes.
Not only does the e-GMP grant the EV9 an impressive electric range, it also makes room for a spacious, lounge-style cabin. The EV9 interior is designed for ultimate comfort, complete with swivel seats (available on the 6-seat variant) that allow you to create a more interactive space, as well as convenient storage and lots of boot space.

* In order to achieve the maximum charging speed, EV9 must be charged at an 800-volt electric vehicle charger that delivers at least 210kW of electricity. The additionally added real-life range within 15 minutes is depending on different factors including the current state of charge of the battery, battery temperature, exterior weather conditions and the charger used. It is also defined by the individual driving style and energy consumption.
The range was determined according to the standardised EU measurement procedure (WLTP). The individual driving style and other factors, such as speed, outside temperature, topography and the use of electricity-consuming devices/units, have an influence on the real-life range and can possibly reduce it.
