The boxy, triangular Opposites United design language of the EV9 emphasizes the tension of its short overhangs and long wheelbase, pushed to the corners over the modular E-GMP electric underpinnings. The EV9 is the second Kia model based on the E-GMP platform, and the first to feature fourth-generation battery technology designed for improved energy density. The EV9 offers a choice of two powertrain options. Standard is a 76.1-kWh battery with a 160-kW (215-hp) motor that drives the rear wheels. An optional 99.8-kWh battery will be available in a single-motor configuration (201-hp), or a dual-motor, 283-kW (379-hp) all-wheel-drive configuration. The two battery sizes yield five variants: Light (short-range or long-range), Wind, Land, GT-Line.<\/p>\n<p>Set to arrive in the fourth quarter of 2023, the EV9 is the brand&#8217;s flagship. With a starting MSRP of <span class=\"xn-money\">$54,900<\/span><sup>2<\/sup> (excluding destination charges), the EV9 Light RWD will come standard with DC fast-charging capability, seating for up to seven passengers, 19-inch alloy wheels, 8-way power adjustable driver&#8217;s seat<sup>3<\/sup> with heating<sup>4<\/sup> and ventilation, and is rated at an EPA-estimated all-electric range of 230 miles<sup>5<\/sup>.
