Kia EV9 priced at 69.2 million won with subsidy in Seoul... Delivery starts from the 19th
Kia announced that it will launch the large electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) EV9 on the 19th and gradually deliver it to customers. As Kia's second dedicated electric vehicle, it is equipped with a 99.8 kWh battery, allowing it to travel 501 km on a single charge (based on the Ministry of Industry certification for 19-inch wheel 2WD).
The EV9 base model is sold in two trims: Air and Earth. Customers can choose between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive (2WD and 4WD) depending on the trim. Prices, based on a 3.5% individual consumption tax, are ▲Air 2WD 73.37 million KRW ▲Air 4WD 76.85 million KRW ▲Earth 2WD 78.16 million KRW ▲Earth 4WD 81.63 million KRW.
The company expects that a resident of Seoul purchasing the Air trim 2WD (19-inch) will be able to buy it for 69.2 million KRW after receiving a national subsidy of 3.3 million KRW and a local subsidy calculated accordingly. The GT line, which comes with expensive features as standard, has completed certification procedures and is scheduled to launch in the third quarter.
To coincide with the new car launch, the company has prepared various experience and test drive programs. In addition to operating the EV Unplugged Ground, which opened last month in Seongsu-dong, year-round, it plans to conduct test drive programs for users at hotels and golf courses in Jeju Island during the summer vacation season. The EV9 will be added to the mobility service Kia Flex starting at the end of this month.
