The 2025 Kia EV9 continues the legacy established by its 2024 predecessor as Kia's first fully electric three-row SUV in the Canadian market. This model maintains its role as the brand's flagship, offering families a spacious, all-electric vehicle option. The 2025 version carries forward most features and specifications from the 2024 model, with only minor adjustments.
Trim Levels and Configurations
Kia has adopted a nature-inspired naming convention for the EV9's trim levels, aligning with the company's focus on sustainability. The available trims are Light, Wind, and Land, each providing specific features and configurations to meet varying customer needs.
The Light trim introduces buyers to the EV9 range. It features a rear-wheel-drive setup combined with a 76.1-kWh battery, offering an estimated range of 370 km. This configuration provides an entry point for consumers interested in a three-row electric SUV.
The Wind trim expands the vehicle's capabilities with a larger 99.8-kWh battery while maintaining the RWD configuration. This combination results in an estimated range of 489 km, catering to drivers who regularly undertake longer journeys or have extended daily commutes.
The Land trim tops the range with all-wheel drive (AWD) and the 99.8-kWh battery, delivering an estimated range of 451 km. This setup aims to balance power, traction, and efficiency. The Land trim offers two additional packages:
- The Premium Package includes additional interior amenities.
- The GT-Line Package incorporates design elements such as 21-inch lightweight alloy wheels, a bridge-type roof rail, dark-colored belt line molding, gloss black side mirrors, and modified front and rear bumper designs.
