Kia Unveils EV9 Silhouette... "Full Reveal Scheduled for Mid-Month"

Second Dedicated Electric Model Based on E-GMP

Kia unveiled teaser images and videos two days ahead of the EV9 reveal. The EV9 is the second dedicated electric model based on the E-GMP platform, following the EV6 launched by Kia in 2021. The model name was decided by combining ‘EV,’ which stands for electric vehicle according to Kia’s exclusive EV naming system, and the number ‘9,’ symbolizing the flagship position and role within the dedicated electric vehicle lineup.

The images and videos released by Kia on this day showcase the vehicle’s silhouette along with various lighting features applied to the front and rear sections.

Examining the silhouette of the EV9 suggests a spacious interior achieved through a long wheelbase. The body proportions, including width and height, exhibit a traditional SUV form.

The front features multiple lights illuminating the surface where the grille of an internal combustion engine vehicle would normally be, harmonizing with the headlamps to convey a futuristic atmosphere with advanced technology.

The rear is emphasized by rear lamps positioned along the edges of the vehicle, highlighting the width and creating a sense of unity with the front.

Previously, Kia revealed the EV9 concept model at the ‘2021 LA Auto Show’ in November 2021, and last August, footage was released showing the vehicle undergoing driving tests with camouflage at Hyundai Motor Group’s Namyang Research Center.

In mid-June, Kia plans to unveil the EV9’s interior and exterior design, followed by an online event at the end of the month to disclose detailed product information.
