EV9 ‘Air’ from £64,995
The entry point into the EV9 line-up, the ‘Air’ is priced from £64,995 on-the-road and is the version which offers the highest potential driving range. Its rear-wheel drive single-motor powertrain produces 201bhp and 350Nm torque, and is capable of up to 336 miles of range from a single charge (on the WLTP combined cycle).
‘Air’ models’ standard equipment includes:
- 19-inch alloy wheels
- Standard EV9 body styling
- Gloss black door mirrors and door trim
- LED headlamps
- Black side sill trim
- Low-profile roof rails
- Body-coloured flush door handles
- Manually adjustable tilt and telescope steering column
- Single-tone Bio PU seats (the EV9’s cabin is 100 per cent leather-free)
- Power-adjustable front seats
- Eight-speaker audio system
As with most Kia models, the generous standard equipment levels mean the only option for customers to choose is the paint. From pre-order, ‘Air’ models are offered with an Aurora Red exterior paint finish as standard, with the option of three premium finishes – Midnight Black, White Pearl or Lithium Silver – for £725.
EV9 ‘GT-Line’ from £72,495
Moving from ‘Air’ to ‘GT-Line’ provides customers with a dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain as standard. Producing 378bhp and 700Nm maximum torque for greater on-road performance and all-roads capability, the dual-motor powertrain is capable of up to 308 miles on a single charge (WLTP combined). The EV9 ‘GT-Line’ also adds a wider range of standard equipment, including:
- GT-Line exterior styling
- Two-tone ‘GT-Line’ Bio PU upholstery
- LED headlamps with ‘small cube’ design and adaptive driving beam
- ‘Bridge-type’ roof rails
- Electric tilt and telescope adjustable steering column
- Driver power adjustable memory seat and front passenger power seat
- Driver and front passenger premium relaxation seats (for a ‘cat nap’ while charging)
- Driver Ergo Motion seat (massage function)
- Black headlining
- Aluminium pedals
- Remote Smart Park Assist 2.0 (RSPA 2.0)
Like the ‘Air’, the EV9 ‘GT-Line’ is offered as standard with Aurora Red. For £725 extra, available premium paint options are Midnight Black, White Pearl, Shadow Grey or Pacific Blue gloss.
EV9 ‘GT-Line S’ model from £75,995
The range-topping ‘GT-Line S’ variant starts from £75,995, and offers the same dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain, up to 308-mile potential range (WLTP combined), and seven-seat layout as the ‘GT-Line’ variant. In addition, this model features the following as standard:
- 21-inch alloy wheels
- Front sunroof with tilting and sliding functions
- Second row sunroof with sliding blind
- Head-up display
- 14-speaker Meridian Premium Sound System
‘GT-Line S’ models are offered with the same choice of standard and premium exterior paint finishes as the ‘GT-Line’ model.
‘GT-Line S’ models are also exclusively available with a six-seat interior layout, featuring second row swivel seats. This model is available from £78,745, and replaces the three-seat middle bench with two individual ‘captain’s chair’ seats with adjustable arm rests. These can move fore and aft and recline further, individually, for maximum comfort on longer drives. When the car is stopped, middle row seats can swivel outwards towards the doors – making it easier, for example, to load younger children into a car seat. They can also turn around 180-degrees to face the third row, creating a social space for passengers, perhaps while the car is stopped to charge.
As seen on the original Kia EV9 Concept from 2021, the six-seat model is sold exclusively with a Pacific Matt Blue exterior finish.
