2026 EV9: Upgrades, Key Features, Design and Safety!

View Inventory View Gallery Contact Us

The Kia EV9 is more than just another addition to the electric vehicle market, it’s a bold step into the future of sustainable driving. As Kia’s largest all-electric SUV, the 2026 EV9 combines family-friendly practicality with cutting-edge technology and an impressive electric range. This SUV is an award-winning electric powerhouse, having received Edmunds's Top Rated Best of the Best for 2024 and Top Rated Electric SUV for 2024 and 2025, as well as design accolades like the Red Dot and iF Design Award. For drivers, where both city commutes and weekend mountain getaways are part of everyday life, the EV9 offers an adaptable driving experience without compromising style or performance.

Bold Design That Stands Out

The 2026 EV9 makes its presence known the moment it rolls onto the road. Its upright stance, sharp body lines, and futuristic lighting give it a commanding look that sets it apart from traditional SUVs. The digital “tiger face” grille and striking LED lighting create a high-tech first impression, while available 21-inch wheels add a bold finishing touch. The EV9 is designed to turn heads in downtown.

Step inside and the futuristic design continues. The cabin is spacious, open, and thoughtfully laid out with sustainable materials that highlight Kia’s eco-friendly direction. Available configurations offer seating for six or seven passengers, depending on your needs, and the flat-floor design made possible by the EV platform gives everyone more legroom.

Electric Power That Fits Modern Life

At the heart of the EV9 is Kia’s advanced electric platform, designed to deliver both strong performance and long-range capability. Canadian drivers will appreciate the versatility of standard all-wheel drive on select trims, ensuring confidence in snowy winters. With a long-range battery option, the EV9 is capable of traveling impressive distances on a single charge, making it easy to go from city A to B or even further without worry.

Thanks to ultra-fast charging capability, the EV9 can recover a significant portion of its range in under 30 minutes using a DC fast charger. This means less time waiting and more time enjoying the road. Whether you’re commuting to the office or heading out on a family adventure, the EV9 is built to keep pace with your lifestyle.

Technology That Connects and Protects

The EV9 isn’t just about pure electric power, it’s also packed with some of Kia’s most advanced technology that keeps you connected with your surroundings. A wide panoramic dashboard integrates dual 12.3-inch displays and a 5-inch segment screen for climate controls, creating a seamless hub for navigation, entertainment, and vehicle information. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, while multiple USB-C charging ports and available wireless phone charging keep everyone connected on the go.

For peace of mind, the 2026 model features a comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies. Systems like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance, Lane Keep Assist, and Highway Driving Assist provide an extra layer of protection on busy highways. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and a Surround View Monitor also make maneuvering in tight city spaces easier adding to comfort while driving.

Everyday Comfort and Practicality

Speaking of comfort, what makes the EV9 so appealing for families is its ability to combine future-focused technology with everyday practicality. Heated and ventilated front seats, available second-row captain’s chairs, and tri-zone climate control ensure that every passenger rides in comfort. The quiet cabin, enhanced by the all-electric powertrain, creates a relaxing atmosphere on every drive.

Cargo space is equally impressive, with plenty of room for groceries, sports gear, or luggage for a weekend getaway. With the rear seats folded down, the EV9 opens up even more space, making it a flexible choice for families who need both people-moving capacity and utility of all kinds.
