Kia Likely To Showcase EV9 SUV At Auto Expo 2023

Most Notable Features Of Kia EV9

Although still in the early concept stages, the EV9 is styled like a large SUV, comparable in size to the Toyota Fortuner but with an electric powertrain. The EV9 is big enough to feature a 3rd row and gets lounge-like interiors with the following features:

• 27-inch touchscreen infotainment system
• Retractable steering wheel with autonomous and manual driving modes
• Panoramic sunroof
• Backward-opening rear doors

In contrast to the luxurious interiors, the exterior has a rugged and upright stance, similar to that of the Kia Telluride.

Kia EV9 Launch Timeline

We expect Kia to showcase the EV9 at the 2023 Auto Expo, but don’t see any prospect of a launch in the near future. If featured in the expo, it is sure to turn eyeballs and add to the brand’s image. The EV9 is likely to go on sale in the international markets by the end of 2024.

Kia EV9 Expected Price

With a distant launch timeline, there are a lot of factors to consider while estimating the price such as inflation, supply and demand, battery prices, subsidies and other economic factors. So, we can’t put a price tag right now. Moreover, its likelihood of coming to India are also very low as of right now.
