Kia Gears Up for a Revolutionary 2024 in India: Introducing the Trailblazing EV9

The Dawn of a New Electric Chapter

In an exhilarating development for Indian automobile enthusiasts and environmental advocates, Kia has announced the imminent arrival of its groundbreaking EV9, set to make its debut in 2024. This much-anticipated three-row electric SUV is poised to reshape the electric vehicle landscape in India, heralding a new age of eco-friendly transportation.

A Pioneering Entry into the Three-Row EV Market

The Kia EV9 emerges as a pioneer, marking the Korean auto giant's first foray into the three-row electric SUV segment in India. This move aligns with Kia's strategic vision to carve a significant niche in the Indian passenger EV market, currently led by Tata Motors.

The Journey from Concept to Reality

The journey of the EV9 from a concept vehicle, initially showcased at the Auto Expo in January, to a soon-to-be-released reality reflects Kia's commitment to innovation and sustainability. After making waves in global markets, including South Korea, Kia's bold step to bring the EV9 to Indian shores earlier than anticipated underscores its dedication to the Indian market.

Expanding Horizons in the EV Segment

Following the successful launch of the EV6, Kia's first electric car in India, the introduction of the EV9 is a significant stride in expanding the brand's electric portfolio. Tae-Jin Park, the Managing Director and CEO at Kia India, has emphasized the brand's focus on introducing a new wave of electric models, starting with the mass production of an EV in 2025.

Cutting-Edge Design and Performance

Crafted on the innovative Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the EV9 stands out with its imposing size and state-of-the-art features. The SUV, comparable in dimensions to the global SUV Telluride, offers a choice between six or seven seats, and will be available in two variants, the HT Line and GT Line.

A New Benchmark in Electric Mobility

Kia's EV9 is not just about size; it's a marvel of electric efficiency, promising an impressive range of up to 541 km on a single charge. Its powerful electric motor ensures brisk acceleration, while its 800-volt architecture facilitates ultra-fast charging capabilities. The top-end GT-Line variant raises the bar with Level 3 ADAS, offering hands-free highway driving, enhanced by an array of sensors and cameras for unparalleled safety and convenience.

Preparing for a Diverse Portfolio

In addition to the EV9, Kia also plans to rejuvenate the Indian market with the launch of the new Carnival MPV in 2024. This move reflects Kia's strategy to diversify its offerings and cater to a wider audience.
