Kia’s EV9 GT will come with 515bhp and an electric range of 279 miles
Set to arrive in Europe next year, the EV9 GT will sit at the top of the electric SUV’s model line-up.
Kia has announced further details for its flagship electric SUV, the EV9 GT.
The upgraded model will utilise an all-wheel-drive powertrain with a dual motor setup alongside a 99.8kWh battery pack and cover a claimed 279 miles on a single charge. Kia says it will also be DC rapid charging compatible, taking the vehicle from a 10 to 80 per cent top-up in just 24 minutes.
The EV9 GT will also come as standard with a vehicle-to-load function, meaning you can plug an electronic appliance into the car and it be powered using the vehicle’s battery pack.
On the outside, there are features such as a digital lighting grille, 21-inch alloy wheels and neon green front brake calipers with GT lettering. Meanwhile, on the inside the neon green theme continues onto the GT sports steering wheel and sports seats which are also trimmed with Alcantara suede inserts with an embossed GT logo.
Marc Hedrich, president and CEO at Kia Europe, said: “The EV9 GT offers an exhilarating-to-drive factor with comfort and enjoyment for everyone on board while keeping the versatility to take everything with you. We have taken the basis of the best car in the world and developed a stand-alone, high-performance version that will turn heads everywhere it goes.”
Kia has yet to reveal the prices for the EV9 GT, but expect to pay a premium over the standard EV9 GT-Line S at just over £77,000. Order books will open in 2025.
