Overview
The EV9 is Kia's flagship electric SUV and one of the largest EVs on sale in India — a three-row, six-seater with captain's chairs in the second row, sold in a single, fully loaded GT-Line AWD trim.
A 99.8 kWh battery gives a claimed range of 561 km (ARAI MIDC). Two motors, one on each axle, make a combined 282.6 kW and 700 Nm. On a 350 kW DC charger the battery goes from 10 to 80% in about 24 minutes, though chargers that fast are still rare in India, so real-world fast-charge times will usually be longer.
Range figures are claimed, test-cycle numbers, not a guaranteed real-world figure — see real-world vs claimed range for why the two differ.
