A Closer Look at Autotrader’s Recognition
Along with only 9 other winners, the new Kia EV9 had the honor of taking home a “Best New Cars of 2024” award presented by Autotrader. This wouldn’t be the first Kia to make this achievement as the EV9 follows the success of the Seltos, Telluride, Sportage, and Carnival in the same category. In fact, it wouldn’t be the first award that the EV9 has earned, either, with the “North American Utility Vehicle of the Year” award already having a place in the trophy cabinet.
How did the EV9 win this most recent award? The reviewers and editors at Autotrader put hours of time and effort into carefully testing each contender’s capabilities in comparison with their overall value.
The Kia EV9 Delivers All-Electric Goodness
As far as EVs go, Kia has outdone themselves with their latest creation. The new EV9 can deliver up to 304 miles on a full charge and regain 10-80% battery life in 25 minutes, all while providing 3 rows of seating to accommodate large families. Fast charge times are accomplished with a standard 800V platform that supports ultra-fast DC chargers. Take a look at the entire Kia EV9 lineup:
● Kia EV9 Light RWD - Up to 230 miles
● Kia EV9 GT-Line - Up to 270 miles
● Kia EV9 Wind AWD and Land AWD - Up to 280 miles
● Kia EV9 Light Long Range RWD - Up to 304 miles

Next-Gen Technological Advancements
What else can Kia’s new all-electric SUV do other than grant extra range and quick charge times? The Kia EV9 serves as a beautiful demonstration of advancements in modern technology, starting with over-the-air updates. A concept that was nothing more than a mere thought just a few years ago has already come to fruition, and you can experience it in Kia’s latest achievement. In a world run by online convenience, the Kia EV9 is able to receive physical upgrades through the cloud. Through this system, you will be able to download LED lighting effects, additional torque, and more in supported vehicles. This is truly a mark of the future!
Other notable technologies in the EV9 include the 1,920-watt onboard power generator that can power most appliances on the go, an improved Digital Key system, and over 30 inches of combined display screens. It’s no wonder that Autotrader rated the EV9 high for having great value.
Freeing Up Maximum Cabin Space
While the Kia EV9 is the brand’s grand leap into the future of driving, this all-electric SUV still stays true to its roots as a family-friendly vehicle in the amount of space you can find inside. Since the electric E-GMP platform opens up space that’s normally reserved for the engine, the EV9 easily makes room for:
● 42.8 inches of 2nd-row legroom
● Up to 81.7 cubic feet of cargo space
● 2nd-row lounge seats with leg extensions
