The 2025 Kia EV9 is poised to redefine the electric SUV market with its innovative design, cutting-edge technology, and versatile functionality. As Kia’s flagship electric vehicle, this three-row SUV offers ample space for families, advanced electric performance, and an array of modern features. With multiple trims and powertrain configurations, including the debut of the high-performance EV9 GT, Kia delivers an impressive lineup that suits a variety of lifestyles and driving preferences. Below, we explore the EV9 in detail, highlighting everything from its specs to its groundbreaking new additions.
The 2025 Kia EV9’s exterior is a perfect marriage of bold aesthetics and aerodynamic efficiency. Its angular silhouette and commanding stance exude confidence, while design features such as the signature “Digital Tiger Face” grille and active air flaps enhance functionality. The EV9 GT, a standout model in the lineup, introduces exclusive 21-inch alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance 285/45R-21 tires and features neon green GT-badged front calipers. Additionally, the GT sports a unique "ENERGETIC" lighting pattern and GT-specific accents on the active air flaps, setting it apart from other trims.
Ground clearance remains consistent across the lineup at 7.8 inches, ensuring the EV9 is ready for both urban streets and rugged terrain. Colors like Snow White Pearl and Ocean Blue highlight its bold lines, but the EV9 GT takes things further with its distinctive design flourishes. Every detail, from the sculpted body to the futuristic LED lighting signatures, ensures this SUV makes a lasting impression.
Inside, the Kia EV9 combines cutting-edge technology with thoughtful design. The three-row configuration comfortably seats six or seven passengers, depending on the trim, and offers generous headroom and easy access to the third row. The EV9 GT introduces deeply bolstered sport seats with Alcantara suede inserts and neon green accents, giving the cabin a sporty, performance-oriented feel. Standard across all trims are high-quality materials, including Dark Gray & Black simulated leather on the GT, and ambient LED lighting customizable to fit your mood.
Cargo space is equally impressive, with 573 litres of storage behind the third row and 1,233 litres when the second row is folded. Reclining relaxation seats in the second row, an available feature, allow passengers to unwind during longer trips. Further elevating the interior experience is the dual 12.3-inch display screens with a 5-inch climate control panel, all seamlessly integrated for a sleek, futuristic aesthetic. The optional 14-speaker Meridian Premium Sound System delivers an immersive audio experience tailored to the EV9’s acoustics.
The 2025 Kia EV9 is packed with advanced technology to enhance both convenience and safety. A standout feature is the Digital Key 2.0, which turns your smartphone into a secure key for unlocking and starting the vehicle. Over-the-air updates (OTA) are standard across the lineup, allowing drivers to add new features, such as customizable front-end lighting patterns, long after purchase. The EV9’s cutting-edge infotainment system includes dual 12.3-inch displays, a 5-inch climate control screen, and an available 12-inch heads-up display (HUD) projecting essential driving information onto the windshield.
In terms of safety, the EV9 includes over 20 standard advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These include Forward Collision Avoidance with Pedestrian Detection, Parking Collision Avoidance Assist (front, side, and rear), and Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control. The EV9 GT adds Parking Distance Warning and an electronic Limited Slip Differential (e-LSD) for better stability during cornering. Kia’s Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 (RSPA 2) is another standout feature, enabling drivers to park the vehicle remotely using their smartphone or key fob.
The 2025 Kia EV9 lineup features three main trims—Light RWD (starting at $63,162), Wind RWD (starting at $66,162), and Land AWD (starting at $68,162). The GT-Line package is available on the Land trim, adding more aggressive styling and enhanced technology. For enthusiasts, the newly introduced EV9 GT is the ultimate version of this three-row SUV. While pricing for the GT will be announced closer to its release in late 2025, its powerful dual-motor system, exclusive design elements, and performance-focused features make it the pinnacle of the EV9 range. Assembled in South Korea, the EV9 GT represents Kia’s commitment to blending practicality with exhilaration.
The 2025 Kia EV9 offers a range of powertrain options, starting with rear-wheel-drive (RWD) configurations for the Light and Wind trims. These trims feature single permanent magnet synchronous motors delivering 215 horsepower (160 kW) or 201 horsepower (149 kW), paired with either a 76.1 kWh or 99.8 kWh battery, offering an estimated range of up to 489 kilometres. Charging options include Level 2 charging (6-8 hours) and 800-volt fast charging, which can take the battery from 10% to 80% in as little as 24 minutes.
The highlight of the lineup is the EV9 GT. This dual-motor powerhouse features all-wheel drive (AWD) and a combined output of 501 horsepower (370 kW), making it the most powerful three-row SUV Kia has ever produced. With an estimated 0-60 mph time of just 4.3 seconds, it brings sports car performance to the family SUV segment. The EV9 GT also debuts Kia’s Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS), a first for the brand, offering customizable shock damping for a range of driving styles. A bright green GT button on the steering wheel activates the stiffest and most responsive settings, emphasizing its sporty intent.
The 2025 Kia EV9 is available now at dealerships for the Light, Wind, and Land trims. However, the high-performance EV9 GT is expected to arrive in the latter half of 2025, following its unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The starting price for the 2025 Kia EV9 is $63,162 for the Light RWD trim. The Wind RWD trim begins at $66,162, while the Land AWD starts at $68,162. Pricing for the EV9 GT, featuring its 501-horsepower dual-motor setup, will be announced closer to its release date. Additional costs may apply for optional features and packages.
