Order books are open for the Kia EV9

July 5, 2023

Kia UK has revealed pricing and specifications for the all-new Kia EV9, with pre-orders open now for the brand’s new flagship three-row electric SUV.

Kia EV9

Kia will offer three grades to EV9 buyers in the UK called ‘Air’, ‘GT-Line’ and ‘GT-Line S’, each with a three-row, seven-seat layout as standard. All three models feature a 99.8kWh long-range battery pack with heat pump, and with it the ability to drive up to more than 300 miles from a single charge.

Kia’s 800V ultra-fast charging technology means every version of the EV9 can be recharged from 10-to-80 per cent in as little as 24 minutes when plugged into a 350kW high-powered charger.

The first UK customer deliveries of the EV9 ‘GT-Line S’ will start from January 2024, with ‘Air’ and ‘GT-Line’ models due to follow later on. Finance options will be confirmed before its official on-sale date for the majority of retail customers who will choose to fund their EV9 with a deposit and monthly payments. Fleet customers will benefit from the two per cent BIK (benefit-in-kind) rate for EVs in 2023/24 and 2024/25 tax years.

Every EV9 offers a generous array of standard equipment. This includes a three-screen dashboard layout (12.3-inch driver display, 5.3-inch climate control touchscreen, and 12.3-inch touchscreen navigation system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto).

There is a wireless phone charger, Kia Connect telematics system with seven years’ free access, heated and ventilated front seats and outer second-row seats, electric folding, adjustable and heated door mirrors with integrated LED indicator lights, rain-sensing front wipers, electronic rear-view mirror, LED headlamps and rear lamps, LED daytime running lights, LED fog lights, rear privacy glass, second-row manual window blinds, dual-zone air conditioning systems, front and rear, with rear roof vents.

All models have a heated steering wheel, smart power tailgate with height adjustment, 60:40 split-folding second row seats; 50:50 split-fold third row seats, ambient lighting, six USB-C chargers (two per row), a three-pin socket in boot, Vehicle-to-load system (V2L) for charging or powering external devices, digital key and fingerprint recognition.

Safety tech includes navigation-based Smart Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist 2 with Hands-on Detection, front and rear parking sensors, Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCCA) with Rear-Cross Traffic Assist (RCTA), Blind-Spot View Monitor (displaying blind spots on the driver instrument screen when indicating), a 360-degree Surround View Monitor, plus nine airbags across all three rows.

The entry point into the EV9 line-up, the ‘Air’ is priced from £64,995 on-the-road and is the version which offers the highest potential driving range. Its rear-wheel drive single-motor powertrain produces 201bhp and 350Nm torque, and is capable of up to 336 miles of range from a single charge (on the WLTP combined cycle).

Moving up from ‘Air’ the ‘GT-Line’ costs from £72,495 and provides customers with a dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain as standard. Producing 378bhp and 700Nm maximum torque for greater on-road performance and all-roads capability, the dual-motor powertrain is capable of up to 308 miles on a single charge (WLTP combined). The EV9 ‘GT-Line’ also adds a wider range of standard equipment.

The range-topping ‘GT-Line S’ variant starts from £75,995 and offers the same dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain, up to 308-mile potential range (WLTP combined) and seven-seat layout as the ‘GT-Line’ variant.

The Kia EV9 is the next battery electric vehicle to arrive as part of Kia’s ‘Plan S’ strategy, which will see the brand launch 14 EVs by 2027, nine in the UK. Order books for the EV9 are now open as the model takes over from the EV6 as the brand’s ‘halo’ model, spearheading Kia’s transition to becoming a global leader in sustainable mobility solutions.
