Having announced the 2024 Kia EV9 pricing details for the United States last week, the South Korean automaker is now getting ready to kick off the online reservations and the configurator for the high-riding electric vehicle in our market.
Interested parties will have to visit Kia's official website starting on October 16 at 10 AM PST (1 PM EST/7 PM CET) to select the Light Long Range RWD, Wind AWD, Land AWD, or GT-Line AWD and then configure it. With that out of the way, they will have to pay a refundable $750 to reserve a build slot.
The Korean automaker says that customers who make a reservation through November 27 will receive a few complimentary gifts. These include the 3-year Kia Maintenance Plan, Digital Features & Services available for one year, and a Webasto Go Dual Voltage Portable EV Charger. On top of that, everyone who buys or leases an EV9 will receive a 1,000 kWh charging credit with Electrify America.
Kia's entry-level 2024 EV9 Light features 19-inch alloys, LED lights, rain-sensing wipers, rear privacy windows, an acoustic windshield, a power tailgate, faux leather upholstery, and ventilated and heated front seats with electric adjustment. It also comes with a 12.3-inch infotainment system and an equally large digital instrument cluster, a five-inch display for the HVAC system, tri-zone climate control, eight-speaker audio, a digital key, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a wireless smartphone charger.
Tipping the scales at almost 5,100 pounds (2,310 kg), the Kia EV9 uses a rear-mounted electric motor in the base configuration. It has 215 hp (218 ps/160 kW) and 258 pound-feet (350 Nm) of torque on tap and can deal with the 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 kph) acceleration in 7.7 seconds. The top speed is rated at 118 mph or 190 kph. As for the towing rating, you are looking at up to 2,000 pounds (907 kg).
In addition to this motor that powers the entry-level grade, the 2024 Kia EV9 is also available with dual-motor setups. In this instance, interested parties are looking at 379 hp (384 ps/283 kW) combined and 516 pound-feet (700 Nm) of torque. Unfortunately, the car manufacturer hasn't released the pricing details for other versions yet, stating only that the EV9 Light will start at $54,900, excluding destination, dealer fees, and options.
Sharing its construction with the Hyundai Ioniq 7 and Genesis GV60, the Kia EV9 is currently put together at the company's factory in Gwangmyeong, South Korea. Nevertheless, it is scheduled to move to the brand's facility in West Point, Georgia, for our market in 2024. As for the pricing of the rest of the family, I will be announced in due course, likely in the coming weeks or months.
