Kia Motors plans to launch its flagship electric SUV with three rows of seats, the EV9, later this month. A fairly complete exterior walkaround and an inside preview have been released via a series of bright, clean photos ahead of the full reveal. , but the face has been revised and some internal changes have been made.
Kia calls the design strategy woven into the EV9’s DNA “Opposites United,” and the company’s design team has taken the SUV’s aura of all-terrain ruggedness and made it clean and sleek for an all-electric vehicle. I explained that I have been working on it.
With a flat roofline, sharply cut glasshouse and polyhedral side volumes, the design is closer than expected to the Concept EV9. Its large wheel and tire combination is also capped by semi-octagonal wheel arches in the same style.
The whole thing looks like a LEGO interpretation of a modern SUV.

It’s on the front that the design departs a bit from the conceptual preview. Kia still decks it out with what it calls a “digital tiger face,” but this time it features a wider lighting structure with larger headlamps that incorporate stacked cube LED daytime running lights. increase.
Kia has focused most of its polish from concept to production on the EV9. The cockpit still has the effect of floating components.
The design maintains a digital emphasis, turning the driver’s attention to a high-definition widescreen instrument panel that technically combines two 12.3-inch displays within a contiguous body.

The EV9 rides on Kia’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and maintains a spacious cabin thanks to its flat EV architecture and long wheelbase. Buyers can choose from his three-row configuration of six-seater or her seven-seater, promising comfortable personal space for all occupants. The first two rows include reclining seats, and the second row seats can also rotate 180 degrees like a campervan, so passengers can interact with those in the third row.
Kia is saving additional details for the EV9’s full debut later this month. The concept EV9 promised a range of 300 miles (483 km) and his 350 kW ultra-fast charging for 25 minutes (10-80%), so we’ll see if the production model follows suit.
