KIA EV9

Re-envisioning all-electric SUV design

The Kia EV9 exudes a sense of serene contemporary calmness befitting a sophisticated EV for a new age of sustainable mobility. Yet, it also portrays the confident surety of a bold SUV poised to conquer all conditions.

Kia has taken full advantage of the EV9’s long wheelbase and the completely flat electric vehicle architecture afforded by its industry-transforming Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). This delivers a cabin with generous space for all occupants to connect and relax with lounge-style comfort in all three rows of seats. It also ensures athletic performance, complimented by exemplary range from a 99.8kWh battery in both Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) and All Wheel Drive (AWD) variants.

Taking inspiration from the ‘Bold for Nature’ design pillar of Opposites United, the Kia EV9 Concept embodies an adventurous, outgoing and recreational form with its rugged and upright stance.

From the outside, the proportions help outline a three-row SUV footprint, signifying a electric concept vehicle that is highly capable, practical and ready for action. From the side, the modernistic angular profile gives the all-electric concept car a simple but distinctive outline.

EV9’s extensive tech capabilities and all-round flexibility ensures that it feels at home when tackling traffic in densely populated urban areas.

At the same time, it offers families the freedom to experience leisure activities away from the city centre. Solar panels built into the car help you go further and see more before you need to change.

The EV9 Concept has been carefully crafted to offer you and your passengers a transformative interior space with the focus on wellbeing and mindfulness. An innovative panoramic roof car, the EV9 also captures more natural light and scenery, creating a new level of comfort for sustainable cars.

Kia’s iconic Tiger nose facade has been reinterpreted for the BEV era and is showcased on the Kia EV9 Concept.

Contrasting with its muscular on-road presence, soft and welcoming curves across the body of the EV9 Concept are offset with sharp and neatly edged elements. Solid rock geometry is expressed through sophisticated design, while the spacious cabin has been made to feel welcoming and approachable.

The beautifully sleek windows create a direct connection to the outside environment, be that sunshine flooding into the cabin through the car's panoramic sunroof, the tranquil sound of rain or the calming feel of moonlight and the stars.
