It’s no secret that the EV6 has been a big hit as an electric EV. But the EV6 isn’t the only EV Kia plans to offer. For those who need a three-row SUV, it’s on its way. And it could prove that a family vehicle can be electric. Supposedly, some of the specs of this new Kia have been leaked. It looks like it’s going to be a pretty solid offering.
Will there be a Kia EV9?
At some point in 2023, Kia will release the EV9. This comes after the EV6, and will be bigger and offer more utility. It might be best viewed as an electric version of the Kia Telluride. However, it will be on a different platform.
, some of the potential specs of the 2024 Kia EV9 have leaked. These specifications may not be what the final product will look like. After all, they’re from a survey sent to current Telluride owners. And Kia has not confirmed them.
The Kia EV9 will be practical but expensive
In terms of cost, it will likely run anywhere from $56,000 to $73,000 for the top trim. Survey shows it may come standard with rear-wheel drive, but AWD will be an option. This is probably good news for people who live in places prone to snow and other severe weather conditions.
The range should be somewhere between 220 miles and 290 miles. But that could change when it actually goes into production. In terms of power, you might be able to go up to 400hp, which is pretty decent for a vehicle of this size.
When will the 2024 Kia EV9 go on sale?
It’s not exactly clear when the EV9 will be released. But it should come out at some point this year. Kia has already shown what this vehicle will look like. With supply chain issues and chip shortages, however, it’s hard to predict when a new car will actually hit dealerships.
Hopefully the EV9 arrives in a timely manner. There aren’t many family EVs on the market. Sure, you can get an electric SUV. But what if you need three rows of seating? Well, you don’t have many options. But with models like the 2024 Kia EV9, you can get an electric-powered family SUV.
Kia is taking electrification seriously
According to , Kia plans to have 14 EVs by 2027. Clearly, the brand is heavily invested in making EVs successful. The EV6 is the first of these models and the Kia EV9 will follow.
If the potential leaked specs are any indication, it’s hard not to see as a success. Especially with its unique appearance design and usable range. But until Kia confirms things, we won’t know the exact details of this SUV.
