Charging, Range, and Performance That Moves You

Performance is more than power—it’s also about practicality. The Kia EV9 release date is timed with enhanced charging access. Thanks to the built-in North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, the EV9 can connect to more than 18,000 Tesla Superchargers.

Here’s a quick glance at key capabilities:

Kia-estimated 305-mile range (Light Long Range RWD)
DC fast charging from 10–80% in as little as 24 minutes
Regenerative braking with paddle control
Available cold-weather upgrades like a heat pump and battery warmer

So yes, this electric SUV is ready for Pennsylvania winters—and then some.

A Cabin That Competes with Luxury Brands

Inside, the EV9 doesn’t just keep up with luxury SUVs—it competes with them. The nearly 30 inches of display real estate, optional 2nd-row lounge seats with leg rests, and available 14-speaker Meridian™ Premium Audio system make it clear this is no stripped-down EV.

Meanwhile, the cargo area offers up to 81.7 cubic feet of space. Whether you choose a 7-seat layout or opt for second-row captain’s chairs, you'll find smart storage, easy third-row access, and legroom that even beats out the Cadillac Escalade.
