The Nightfall Edition distinguishes itself with:
- Gloss-black "Kia" and "EV9" emblems
- Front "grille" accents
- Lower side sill accents
- Wing mirrors, roof rails, and skid plates
- 20-inch wheels
Inside, the Nightfall Edition continues the dark aesthetic with:
- Black headliner
- Exclusive upholstery patterns
- Subtle seat stitching
- Exclusive Paint Option: A new Roadrider Brown paint enhances the vehicle's appeal, offering an earthy tone popular with current trends.
- Trim Availability: Only available on the EV9's Land AWD dual-motor trim, with optional six- or seven-passenger seating.
While primarily an appearance package, the Nightfall Edition retains the powerful specs of the EV9:
- 99.8-kWh battery
- 379 horsepower
- 443 lb-ft torque (with a Boost function increasing to 516 lb-ft)
- Approximate range of 280 miles
- Switch to North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug
Despite its visually striking package, the Nightfall Edition maintains the existing hardware of the EV9 Land, offering a blend of style and substance:
- Our tests reveal that the Land trim matches the GT-Line in acceleration, maintaining competitive performance.
- Offers most of the essential features at a more accessible price point compared to the GT-Line.
While pricing specifics are not yet disclosed, the 2026 models are expected to be priced above $73,000, based on previous EV9 Land pricing. Sales are expected to commence in the second quarter of this year.
This isn't Kia's first venture into the Nightfall realm. Similar treatment has been applied to models like the Seltos, Sportage, and Telluride, consistently adding visual appeal to the brand's lineup.
The 2026 Kia EV9 Nightfall Edition offers a stylish transformation to the Land trim with blacked-out features and exclusive amenities. While retaining the robust performance of its predecessor, it attracts attention with its modern, sleek design—making it a notable choice for those seeking both functionality and flair.
