On the road and off.

Your convenience is a priority in the new Kia EV9. That means ultra-fast, hassle-free charging to recover up to 249 km in just 15 minutes, from your home or a public station. A high-voltage, large-capacity battery to keep you powered up. And an impressive driving range that allows you to venture as far and wide as the road – and your imagination – takes you.

Sustainability
Materials reimagined.
As we move toward more sustainable, responsible mobility, we’re making choices big and small to make an impact. The EV9 makes sustainability a priority, with carefully and consciously chosen materials for the interior. These upcycled and plant-based materials respect nature and reduce the impact on the environment. All while bringing full comfort and style to the sleek interior.
- Unleather seats: Stylish, tactile vegan leather replaces regular leather for the seating surfaces, reducing animal skin processing and creating a smaller carbon footprint.
- Recycled fishing nets: The carpet of the new Kia EV9 is made using recycled fishing nets that are salvaged from the ocean and cleverly repurposed.
- Recycled PET bottles: As part of our commitment to move responsibly together, the EV9’s trims, seats and interior fabric are made from recycled plastic bottles and wool fibre.
- Smart sustainability: Introducing “Unleather”, the use of upcycled and biomaterials as an alternative to conventional leather.
Safety
Intuitive safety features.
There’s a true peace of mind that comes with knowing you and your passengers are taken care of. That risks are mitigated and every caution is applied. The new Kia EV9 uses advanced, intuitive safety features to bring autonomous driving one step closer, and to help keep you and everyone around your vehicle safe while driving and parking.
Highway assistants
- Highway Driving Assist with Hands-On Detection: HDA2 with HoD automatically adapts your target speed to meet the limit, while keeping you at a safe distance from the vehicles ahead. The upgraded hands-on detection sensors on the steering wheel detect whether you are touching it, even without movement, and adapt your speed accordingly.
- Lane Following Assist 2: Staying in your lane is now easier than ever thanks to Lane Following Assist 2. LFA2 uses a front-view camera to recognize lanes and help to keep your vehicle centred in the right place. If you need help to correct your position, it assists with steering you into place.
Anti-Collision assistants
- Forward Collision-avoidance Assist 2.0: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2.0 gives you added peace of mind and helps you to avoid any potential collisions with pedestrians, cyclists and other cars on the road. If you are not applying the brakes hard enough to avoid a collision, your EV9 will do it automatically.

With the Rear Cross-Traffic Avoidance system, you’ll get an alert that warns if cars or pedestrians are passing behind your vehicle. If there’s any risk of a collision, the system will automatically brake.
- Multi-Collision Brake: The Multi-Collision Brake offers you and your passengers added protection and reassurance in the event of a crash. After the initial crash, it helps to prevent any unpredictable movements of your vehicle, thereby helping to mitigate the danger of any secondary crashes.
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist : Take the worry out of your blind spots. With BCA, you will receive alerts whenever there are vehicles approaching to overtake you, or in your blind spot. If the system detects that there is any risk of collision, it will smartly assist with braking your car to avoid it and lead you back into your lane.
Parking assistants
- RSPA2 (Remote Smart Parking Assist 2): You’ll never need to worry about navigating your vehicle in and out of tight spots again. The remote parking function does the hard work for you – automatically steering you into place and even performing diagonal parking – all at the tap of your smart key.
- Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward/Side/Reverse: Parking or exiting a space will be no hassle at all, with the Parking Assist Side Forward Reverse function, which warns you of pedestrians or objects close to the vehicle.
