Kia has launched its big electric SUV, the Kia EV9, in India. This new car is fully electric, very powerful, and full of modern features. It is priced at ₹1.30 crore (ex-showroom). The EV9 is Kia’s most expensive and premium electric car in India.
Looks and Design
The Kia EV9 is a big and bold SUV. It has a boxy shape and a modern design. The front has a special LED light setup and a closed grille, which makes it look futuristic. The EV9 has big 21-inch wheels and a long body that gives it strong road presence.
Inside, the EV9 has three rows of seats. It can seat seven people. The seats are very comfortable, and the middle-row seats can turn to face the third row. This makes the car feel like a luxury lounge. The cabin has two large touchscreens and a clean, high-tech design.
Battery and Range
The Kia EV9 comes with a large 99.8 kWh battery. This battery gives a driving range of up to 561 kilometers (ARAI certified) on a full charge. This is good enough for long drives and daily city use. The EV9 also supports ultra-fast 800V charging, so the battery can charge very quickly at fast-charging stations.
Power and Performance
This electric SUV comes with two electric motors, one on the front and one on the back. This gives the EV9 all-wheel drive (AWD). Together, the motors produce around 379 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. The car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds, which is very fast for such a big car.
Safety and Features
The Kia EV9 is full of safety features. It comes with Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). This includes automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, blind-spot warning, adaptive cruise control, and more. It also has 10 airbags, a 360-degree camera, and strong crash protection.
Other top features include:
- Ventilated and massaging seats
- Panoramic sunroof
- Premium sound system
- Wireless phone charging
- Digital key
- Vehicle-to-load (V2L) feature – you can use the car’s battery to power laptops, lights, or even charge another EV.
