Charging and Range

One of the points that prospective buyers of the Kia EV9 will likely want to inquire about first and foremost are its charging specifications and range capabilities. Pertaining to the latter, you’ll have 230 miles of EPA-Estimated All-Electric Range¹ to work within the base Light RWD trim. Drivers who would prefer stronger figures in this category are encouraged to opt for the Light Long Range RWD trim of this SUV, fortifying the previously mentioned numbers to 304 miles of EPA-Estimated All-Electric Range¹. Using an optional Level 2 Charger, you can bring the base configuration of the EV9 to full capacity in a matter of 6 hours and 45 minutes. However, if you need a quick jolt of power while en route to Spirit Trail Park, a Level 3 Charger will complete the task in approximately 20 minutes!

Performance

Look forward to zippy trips down Lincoln Highway with the 2024 Kia EV9. With the assistance of a standard Permanent Synchronous Motor and 632V lithium-ion battery, you’ll feel the instantaneous thrill of 215 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. The AWD variants of this SUV up its potential considerably, as a 552V lithium-ion cell and the aforementioned motor help it achieve 379 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft. of torque. Enthusiasts looking to bring forth every ounce of capability out of the EV9 should opt for the GT-Line AWD trim, which makes the vehicle capable of churning out 379 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. Springing for this iteration will let you sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.5 seconds², making navigating to our location in Matteson exhilarating!

Exterior

Envision yourself behind the wheel of the EV9 as you head toward Oakwood Park in preparation for another jam-packed day with your friends and family. You’ll feel confident from the moment you pull out of your driveway, as neighbors might inquire about its standard 19-inch alloy wheels, which are also outfitted with a stylish black machine finish. As you back out of your driveway, the standard LED Projector Beam Headlights will steal glances, and an optional digital-pattern lighting grille will leave them mesmerized by its fascia. Before your SUV is completely out of sight, they’ll surely make mention of your body-colored rear spoiler, providing your vehicle with a memorable finishing touch.
