Just recently, our spy photographer partners have again caught the attention of EV fans with new instances of Hyundai Ioniq 7 prototypes visiting Europe for their global trials. But while the zero-emissions crossover SUV is still months away from its official release, its Kia EV9 sibling is already making the rounds with the worldwide test drive event.
That means Kia is basically on the straight line to unleashing the EV9 into worldwide showrooms – all we need now are the full pricing details and regional specifications, and we are all set to go. Naturally, when the Kia EV9 reaches nationwide dealers, some folks will seek to stand out in their respective crowds with some help from the aftermarket world.
After all, the electric SUV is indeed a "unique blend of modern lifestyle and luxurious comfort (that) makes every ride a fun-packed journey with versatile seating options, V2L capability, advanced technologies, and more." But what if the neighbor decides that your brand new Kia EV9 is precisely what his or her family also needs from a vehicle with a thrilling design, three rows of seats, the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), and more than 541 km/336 miles (WLTP) of range on a single charge?
In that case, a few simple mods could be vital to making sure that your Kia EV9 remains unique and individualized according to your preferences. Well, all these problems are still a few months away because Kia still needs a little bit of time to prepare the sales networks for the larger brother of the EV6. But there are no such issues across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators – and you can have the Kia EV9 dropped on new aftermarket 'shoes' in no time.
Thus, Nikita Chuicko, the virtual artist better known as kelsonik on social media, thinks now is the right CGI time to fiddle with Kia's EV(9) flagship. Although he didn't treat the zero-emissions model as his signature 'Shadow Line' just yet, we still get the option of a couple of new types of wheels, with the first set even treated to two different colors. As such, the family-oriented EV9 crossover looks even better because of the larger size of the CGI wheels, a fact that is usually the panache of ICE-powered vehicles. Luckily, the same terms and conditions apply to EVs, it seems.
So, which one is your favorite? While we decide which version gets our CGI approval, let's remember the real-world's Kia EV9 is coming with three rows of seats, up to 2,320 liters (81.93 cu. ft.) of stowage space, dual 12.3-inch displays for the instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment controls, Highway Driving Pilot (HDP) technology, and ultra-fast charging capabilities (239 km/149 miles of range in 15 minutes).
