FactKia's biggest EV started as a 2021 concept, then shipped with second-row seats that swivel to face the third row.
The EV9 (model code MV) is a three-row battery electric mid-size crossover built by Kia since 2023 in Gwangmyeong, South Korea and West Point, Georgia. It is Kia's second E-GMP model after the EV6 and its largest electric SUV, an electric alternative to the Telluride. It was previewed by the EV9 Concept at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show and offers 6- and 7-seat layouts, including second-row seats that swivel. Batteries are 76.1 kWh (Standard) and 99.8 kWh (Long Range); a high-performance EV9 GT followed on 22 November 2024.
