Kia officially presents its new EV9 SUV, with the added bonus of the first sales prices in Europe.
On the Old Continent, this new Kia SUV will be offered in two versions, namely Earth Launch Edition and GT Line Launch Edition.
The KIA EV9 has a price!
In early April, the Kia manufacturer officially lifted the veil on its brand new 100% electric SUV: the EV9. The Korean brand’s SUV is based on the E-GMP platform, and if we already knew that the latter was going to be offered in several versions, we were impatiently waiting to discover the prices developed by the manufacturer.
It’s done today, with the officialization of prices in Europe (by Kia Belgium). The launch version “Earth Launch Edition” will thus be displayed at a price of 74,990 euros and will make it possible to benefit from a power of 204 horsepower, without forgetting a battery inflated to 99.8 kilowatt hours. Enough to enjoy a range of around 540 kilometers, with the possibility of accommodating no less than seven people on board.
Two launch versions in Europe
But that’s not all ! Indeed, Kia will also offer at launch a model called GT Line Launch Edition, intended for those who wish to take advantage of (significantly) higher power, since we will benefit here from a motorization (still 100% electric) of 384 horsepower. . However, you will have to agree to pay here a little less than 84,000 euros.
For Olivier Gelas (Managing Director Kia Belux): “ With the EV9, Kia brings the SUV of tomorrow to today’s world. The new flagship vehicle has particularly “future proof” technologies on board: ultra-fast charging, vehicle-to-grid capability, and in a second phase, digital features and services available over-the-air on the Kia Connect Store. .. »
Remember that the digital store should provide access to a whole catalog of options and digital services, such as the possibility of accessing streaming content, or even ” to increase the power of the vehicle “, as is the case with Mercedes.
First tests in November, and first deliveries in 2024
Orders for the new Kia EV9 SUV will open this week, with first deliveries scheduled for early 2024. The first test opportunities should be possible from November.
