2024 Kia EV9 Preview: What to Expect

 2024 Kia EV9 parked by beachside building


Thanks to the instant success of the EV6, Kia’s electric vehicles already have a legendary reputation with the forward-thinking shoppers of the Raleigh area. We love the EV6 too—but once you’ve found out what to expect from the all-new 2024 Kia EV9, you might start to think of its smaller cousin as the opening act.

The 2024 Kia EV9 is the full-size alternative to the compact EV6, and that means the EV9 is the ideal electric vehicle for growing families. With three rows of seating and a stunning assortment of features, it has what it takes to keep everyone happy. Check out our guide to the available Kia EV9 specs to see exactly what we mean!


2024 Kia EV9 Specs

There’s still a little bit that we don’t know about the 2024 Kia EV9 specs, but we do have information on the various powertrain/battery combinations that will be made available at launch. Here’s a quick overview of your options:

  • Standard: 76.1-kWh battery, 215-hp electric motor
  • Available: 99.8-kWh battery, 201-hp electric motor(longest range)
  • Available: 99.8-kWh battery, 379-hp dual motor setup with 516 lb-ft of torque

When properly equipped, the 2024 EV9 will be able to go from 0 to 60 in just 5.0 seconds. Tow-ready models can even manage cargo weighing up to 5,000 pounds!

Worried about your new electric car’s battery life expectancy? You’ll be glad to learn that the Kia warranty protects your battery and powertrain components for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

2024 Kia EV9 Range

Although a full breakdown of the 2024 Kia EV9 range estimates is not yet available, we’ve already seen some very impressive numbers. More to the point, we do know that the Light Long Range RWD configuration will offer a Kia-estimated range of up to 300 miles. That’s more than enough range to travel from Cary to Greensboro, Charlotte, or even Virginia Beach—all without stopping to recharge.

Of course, you will still need to charge up eventually. When that time comes, you can take advantage of this SUV’s Level 3 DC Fast Charging capabilities to take your battery from 10% to 80% in minutes: just 24 minutes, to be exact!

You’ll also have access to slower public Level 2 charging stations near Raleigh and Durham. If you’re looking for more convenience, Kia can even help you set up a Level 2 charging station at home.
