The 2025 Kia EV9 stands as Kia’s largest all-electric family vehicle, earning numerous international awards for its innovative and futuristic design. As a mid-size SUV with three rows of seats, the EV9 comfortably accommodates six or seven passengers, making it a spacious option for families. Following in the footsteps of the smaller Kia EV6, the EV9 blends practicality, modern technology, and distinctive styling, reflecting Kia’s commitment to redefining the electric vehicle market.
Exterior Design
The EV9’s exterior confidently showcases Kia’s evolving design philosophy. Retaining the brand’s signature “tiger nose” front grille, the EV9 adds a futuristic twist with a digital interpretation of this design element. The body features sharp lines and striking front and rear LED light clusters, with illuminated points accenting the bodywork. The option to replace traditional side mirrors with aerodynamic side cameras further modernizes the SUV’s look.
Flush door handles that extend when unlocking the vehicle enhance the EV9’s aerodynamic efficiency. For personalization, buyers can choose from 12 exterior color options and wheel sizes ranging from 19 to 21 inches, depending on the trim, with the sporty GT Line offering a bolder aesthetic.

The second-row seats in the six-seat configuration can swivel to face the third row, creating a lounge-like atmosphere perfect for meetings or family interactions. Premium audio comes from a Meridian sound system with 14 speakers, delivering immersive sound quality for all passengers.
