Kia EV9 GT: for enjoying thrilling experiences with the family

The new Kia EV9 GT revolutionizes the world of electric SUVs with 501 horsepower and cutting-edge technology

The GT version of the Kia EV9 has been eagerly awaited, and the Los Angeles Auto Show served as the occasion to end the suspense. And it’s safe to say that the reveal met expectations. The sporty version of the three-row SUV delivers a driving experience that is as thrilling as it is practical, establishing itself as a high-end family vehicle. Its two electric motors allow it to reach 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, despite weighing 2.5 tons.

Technology and design in service of performance

The Kia EV9 GT introduces innovations that enhance the driving experience. Its adaptive electronic suspension adjusts damping based on the selected mode via the Drive Mode button on the steering wheel. Another mode, the GT, unleashes the full potential of the vehicle. An automatic damping adjustment provides the driver with a stiffer and more dynamic ride.

In addition, Kia adds the Virtual Gear Shift system which simulates the feel of a traditional gearbox. A rare pleasure for an electric car that will delight fans of manual transmissions.

The design is equally impressive: fluorescent green accents adorn the steering wheel, seats, and brake calipers. Inside, high-quality materials like Alcantara can be found, alongside sport seats with enhanced padding. Exclusive 21-inch wheels and high-performance Continental tires complete the package.

Range and fast charging

With its 99.8 kWh battery, the Kia EV9 GT is expected to offer a range slightly less than the 563 km of the standard version, probably under 500 km. However, thanks to its 800-volt architecture, it can charge from 10% to 80% in less than 25 minutes at a fast charging station. Starting in 2025, American models will incorporate the Tesla charging port, allowing easy access to a vast network of fast charging stations.

The Kia EV9 GT combines power, comfort, and advanced technologies, redefining expectations for electric SUVs. An ideal choice for those who want to blend family trips with thrilling experiences. However, be cautious about the price. The base price of the Kia EV9 is set at 73,000 euros, and the GT version could cost an additional 20,000.
