Meet the Kia EV9 GT, an upgrade in power from the standard EV9. Sporting aggressive bumpers with neon green accents, it features 21-inch alloy wheels and an impressive 494bhp from twin electric motors.
Unveiled at the LA Auto Show, the EV9 GT accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds—beating its GT-Line S sibling by 0.7 seconds. This three-row SUV promises to be competitive in the top-tier market.
With an electronic limited-slip differential and larger brakes, the EV9 GT is built for dynamic driving. It introduces adaptive suspension—a first for a Kia SUV—fine-tuning damping, steering, and braking across various drive modes.
Drawing inspiration from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, the EV9 GT includes a 'Virtual Gear Shift', mimicking a paddle-shift gearbox, and an 'Active Sound Design' feature to simulate sporty driving.
Expected to carry a 99.8kWh battery with 800-volt technology, you can anticipate a quick 10-80% recharge in under 25 minutes. Inside, neon green accents enhance the cabin, appearing on the steering wheel and sports seats, complemented by fresh 12.3-inch infotainment graphics.
The safety suite expands to include 'park collision protection', boosting its comprehensive safety features. Set to launch in late 2025, pricing remains unconfirmed but expect it to be a premium over the standard EV9's £65,025.
The Kia EV9 GT redefines power and luxury in an SUV with its striking design and performance features, setting a new benchmark for electric vehicles. Keep an eye out for its 2025 arrival!
