What is the Kia EV9 price?
The 2025 Kia EV9 is available in several well-equipped trim levels, each designed to meet a wide range of driver needs and budgets. The base EV9 Light RWD trim starts at $54,900 while the Light Long Range starts at $57,900. The EV9 Wind kicks off at $63,900, while Land carries a starting price of $68,0900. Moving up from there, the EV9 GT-Line is available from $71,900 and is currently the top spec Kia EV9 model available to SLO drivers.
How many passengers can fit in the Kia EV9?
Regardless of which trim you choose, the Kia EV9 is a spacious all-electric SUV that offers three rows of seating with available six- or seven-passenger configurations. Depending on the trim and package selected, you can choose between a second-row bench seat and have space for seven, or available second-row captain's chairs, which offer more space and comfort at the expense of one seat. This flexibility makes the EV9 an excellent option for families or drivers seeking a luxurious, versatile three-row EV.
What is the electric range of the Kia EV9?
The Kia EV9 offers an estimated all-electric range of up to 305 miles, depending on the configuration. The EV9 Light Long Range RWD is the most efficient trim, achieving the highest range with its larger battery pack and more efficient rear-wheel-drive layout. Models with e-AWD, such as the Wind and Land trims can go up to 283 miles due to the added power demand of the all-wheel drive system.
How long does the EV9 take to charge?
Charging times for the Kia EV9 depend on the charger type used. With a Level 3 DC fast charger, the EV9 can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 24 minutes, thanks to its 800V charging architecture and maximum charging speed of up to 230 kW. Using a Level 2 home charger (240V), a full charge typically takes about 8 to 9 hours, making it convenient for overnight charging at home. Plus, new EV9 models will come with Tesla Supercharger capability for even greater ease of charging. Of couse, charging times may vary based on temperature, battery condition, and other variables.
How much horsepower does the EV9 have?
The 2025 Kia EV9 offers different power outputs depending on the trim and drivetrain. The standard Light RWD trim features a single electric motor that produces 215 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel-drive versions use dual motors for a combined output of 379 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. The GT-Line also delivers 379 horsepower but increases torque to 516 lb-ft for even quicker acceleration. With this range of power options, the EV9 balances efficiency with performance across its lineup.
What technology features come with the Kia EV9?
The EV9 comes equipped with an impressive suite of advanced technology, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 5-inch HVAC display, all blended together into a seamless panoramic panel. Additional features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, available head-up display, over-the-air software updates, and an advanced suite of driver-assist technologies under the Kia Drive Wise banner. Features such as Smart Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist, and Surround View Monitor help make the EV9 one of the most high-tech vehicles in the Kia lineup.
Is the Kia EV9 good for families?
Absolutely. The Kia EV9 is designed with families in mind, offering generous passenger space, advanced safety features, flexible seating configurations, and a quiet, refined ride. Rear seats have access to climate controls, USB-C charging ports, and available heated and ventilated seats. The third row offers enough room for adults on short trips and is ideal for kids or extra cargo. With available towing capacity, a flat-floor interior, and a hands-free smart liftgate, the EV9 is a versatile choice for your Salinas lifestyle.
