The 2024 Kia EV9, similar to most electric vehicles, offers various trim lines to dictate Kia EV9 EV Range. Based on factors such as battery size and features. Recently, the official range for each trim level was released, revealing a wide span of capabilities. Surprisingly, the base Light trim represents both ends of the spectrum.
The Light Long Range trim boasts the highest range, achieving 480 km on a single charge. It utilizes a larger 99.8-kWh battery pack and a single motor, producing 201 hp and 258 pound-feet of torque. On the other hand, the regular Light trim comes with a smaller 76.1-kWh battery pack, allowing for a range of 368 km. Interestingly, it is lighter in weight and actually generates slightly more horsepower (215) than the Long Range version.
The rest of the lineup falls within the range of 430 to 450km, and all variants feature all-wheel drive enabled by two electric motors. The combination of the two motors results in an output of 379 hp and 443 pound-feet of torque. The GT-Line trim offers even more torque at 516 pound-feet, which is also available as an option for the Wind and Land trims. Listed below are the different trims in order of increasing price:
Similar to other E-GMP Kia (and Hyundai and Genesis) vehicles, the EV9 is equipped with an 800-volt battery pack capable of charging from 350-kW-capable DC chargers. Kia has stated that the EV9 can reach a maximum charging rate of 236 kW. For AC charging, the EV9 can charge at up to 11 kW. As the trim lines dictate the Kia EV9 EV Range, charging capabilities are not affected.
The EV9 is expected to arrive at dealerships later this year. No information from Hyundai Cambodia to show this EV9 will come to Cambodia.
