Fortunately, Kia has been gracious enough to release a decent amount of information on this highly anticipated electric SUV. Read ahead to join in on the excitement! 

Kia EV9: Range, Charging, and More

Drop the kids at school, commute to work, pick the kids up, run errands, and get back home to Lenexa — you can do it all and then some on a single charge in the new Kia EV9, and you can do it free of range anxiety. 

Kia hasn’t released the full spec sheet for the Kia EV9 range, but we do know that EV9 Wind+ RWD trims have a 300-mile estimated range. This is generous for a 7-seater SUV, and in more good news, Kia reports that it only takes 24 minutes to charge from 10% to 80% on a DC Fast Charger! If you’re in a pinch while out and about, that’s barely any time at all to work a charging stop into your trip. Here are some other high points of the Kia EV9’s performance: 

• All-electric motor creates near-instantaneous acceleration
• Dual-motor AWD is available
• Certain trims will achieve 379 hp/516 lb-ft torque powertrain w/ 0-60 in 5.0 seconds
• Up to 7.8 inches of ground clearance
• Up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity
• Ultra-fast 800v DC fast charging compatibility in every EV9 with impressive charging speeds
