2026 Kia EV9

The 2026 Kia EV9 rides on a purpose-built electric vehicle platform that combines ultra-high-strength steel with lightweight construction to enhance durability and agility. With an available 99.8 kWh battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive, this EV delivers the strength and confidence drivers crave. You can also feel the exhilaration with an available 379 horsepower and up to 516 lb.-ft of torque, launching the EV9 from a stop to highway speeds in seconds. For those with weekend toys or trailers, the available 5,000-pound towing capacity gives the EV9 utility beyond the daily commute. Features like the self-leveling rear suspension and trailering mode make hauling smoother and more controlled on various terrains.

Inside, the 2026 Kia EV9 is thoughtfully crafted to provide upscale comfort and generous space for every row. Available lounge-style seating in the first and second rows offers heating and ventilation, creating a relaxing space no matter the weather. Thanks to an expansive 160.3 cubic feet of passenger space and 42.8 inches of second-row legroom, passengers in every seat can stretch out and enjoy the ride. An innovative tilting walk-in feature makes access to the third row easier, while third-row passengers are treated to USB-C charging ports and convenient cupholders. With up to 81.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row and more cargo volume behind the third row than key competitors, the EV9 is built for people who bring gear, groceries, and more.

Clever touches like concealable storage, an extendable second-row center console, and high-speed USB ports in all three rows make long drives and family road trips a breeze. Moreover, the cabin stays serene with sound-insulating glass that helps reduce road noise to a quiet 58.2 decibels at highway speeds. Onboard tech includes a 14-speaker Meridian^™ Premium Audio System for an immersive listening experience and a Digital Cockpit with nearly 30 inches of digital displays for entertainment, navigation, and driver info. Optional dual-color ambient lighting in the door panels and footwells lets you set the mood to match your drive, while smart haptic controls keep the dashboard clean and intuitive.

In addition to good looks and power, the 2026 Kia EV9 is engineered for peace of mind. Standard Auto Emergency Braking with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection uses radar and camera systems to monitor your surroundings and, if needed, automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or lessen a potential collision. Optional Junction Crossing Detection enhances safety at intersections by scanning for cross traffic when turning. Changing lanes feels more secure with the Blind-Spot View Monitor, which displays real-time video of your blind spots on the digital gauge cluster.

Parking gets easier with available front, rear, and side ultrasonic sensors that provide alerts when nearby obstacles are detected. Moreover, highway commutes are streamlined thanks to Highway Driving Assist 2, a feature that can help maintain speed, lane position, and distance from vehicles ahead. It even assists with lane changes when you tap your turn signal. Paired with Lane Following Assist 2, the system monitors steering and lane markings to help keep the EV9 centered and alert you if your hands leave the wheel.

From family-friendly features to all-weather performance, the 2026 Kia EV9 is a vehicle designed for drivers who want more from their EV. Want to see the EV9 up close or take it for a spin?
