Kia’s EV9 GT-Line AWD in India, priced at Rs 1,29,90,000 (ex-showroom). It is the only trim available in India. At first look, the price may shock many, but once you know about what this all-electric luxury SUV offers, it might start making sense. This isn’t just a car, but a technology-packed powerhouse on wheels.
Electric Power and Performance
The Kia EV9 is powered by a 99.8 kWh battery which is paired with dual motors that produces 379 bhp and 700 Nm of torque. This means exceptionally quick performance. This 6-seater SUV can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds, which is as quick as some sports cars, while still offering the stability that all-wheel drive (AWD) offers. Despite its size, it can even tow up to 2,500 kg.
Range and Charging
The EV9 has an ARAI-certified 561 km range on
a single charge. The credit goes to its 800-volt charging system, you can top up the battery from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes using a 350 kW DC fast charger. At home, a full charge takes around 9 hours with an 11 kW charger. This huge e-SUV even supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), which means you can charge gadgets, appliances or even another EV directly from your car.
Comfort and Luxury Inside
Looking at the interiors, EV9 feels more like a luxury lounge than a normal 6 seater car. It features vegan leatherette seats with heating, cooling, and even massage functions for both the first and second rows. The second row gets captain seats, which are just perfect to make long journeys comfortable for the passengers. A huge Trinity Panoramic Display combines three screens for controls and entertainment, while a 14-speaker Meridian sound system ensures premium audio quality. It is also equipped with dual sunroofs, 64-color mood lighting, and tri-zone climate control.
Safety and Technology
Safety is a big selling point for Kia as the EV9 comes with 10 airbags, a 360-degree camera and advanced driver-assistance features also known as ADAS Level 2 with adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist and forward collision avoidance.

Flush-fitting automatic door handles, roof racks and 20-inch alloy wheels adds to its premium and futuristic vibe.
