On September 27th 2023, Kia America announced the base price for the all-new 2024 Kia EV9, the company’s first three-row SUV EV. The EV9 Light RWD stars at $54,900, and comes standard with DC Fast-Charging capabilities, roomy accommodations for up to seven passengers, full SynTex leather trimmed seating, 19-inch alloy wheels, 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat with heating and ventilation all powered by a seamless permanent magnet synchronous electric motor that produces 215HP and 258lb.-ft of torque.

While it was initially built in South Korea, assembly is scheduled to move to Kia’s state-of-the-art production facility in West Point, Georgia in 2024. Soon after, the pricing options for the Light Long Range, Wind, Land, and GT-Lines will be announced.

“We knew we had to get the EV9 pricing right and we believe today’s announcement will be a wake-up call to the industry,” said Steven Center, EVP & COO, Kia America. “A well-equipped three-row SUV EV doesn’t have to be prohibitively expensive. It should offer the perfect balance of standard features, the ability to fast charge and be equipped with the technology savvy EV buyers are looking for. The EV9 provides all of this, and we can’t wait for it to go on sale later this year.”

The all-electric EV9 is the brand’s flagship vehicle, and it embodies the ruggedness and sophistication one would expect from such a title. The 2024 EV9 is packed to the brim with incredible new features, stunning tech savvy features, and all the creature comforts you could ever imagine. It features Kia’s next-generation, ultramodern Connected Car Navigation Cockpit System. The infotainment center processes with ultra fast speed and higher fidelity, and offers frequently used Quick Controls to allow you to navigate options with a simple screen swipe. Navigation-based charging guidance provides arrival time and distance-to-empty features to help soothe any range anxiety and get you the most efficient route to the nearest charging station.

The ultrawide band-based Digital Key 2 allows customers to use compatible Apple, Google, and Samsung smart devices or an NFC-enabled smart card as virtual vehicle keys to allow lock/unlock and drive options. Drivers can also unlock the EV9 without holding their smart phone near the door with the new, advanced technology, and can also share digital keys with family and friends via text message over compatible devices.

The driver cockpit features an elliptical-shaped dashboard, custom designed to give the illusion of an effortless floating effect. The wide panoramic display sits at the top, increasing digital usability with standard dual 12.3 inch screens along with a 5.0 inch HVAC screen, both seamlessly integrated into a singular panel. The result is a modern, minimalist aesthetic that is sure to delight discerning customers. Beneath the screen are hidden-until-lit haptic switches for key infotainment features, mounted centrally for ease of use; they appear as soon as the EV9 is switched on.

And of course, we’d be remiss not to mention the incredible addition to the EV9’s 20 standard ADAS features: the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA-2) feature; this system is designed to help detect and prevent collisions from occurring in specific conditions. In the EV9, this system has been further enhanced to detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists in front of the vehicle while driving; oncoming vehicles when turning left at intersections; crossing vehicles while passing through an intersection. It also provides an additional degree of protection for braking and/or steering to help prevent or minimize collision if the system detects things like oncoming vehicles while passing, vehicles in front of the car while changing lanes, and other obstacles, pedestrians, or vehicles in front of the car while driving straight. It’s an impressive addition to an already award-winning combination of standard safety options you’d expect from the Kia brand.
