We were thrilled to watch our latest 3-wheel SUV gain numerous different types of positive attention over the past year here at Jim Butler Kia of Saint Louis. The brand-new and incredibly efficient EV9 has now officially already received full deposits from customers in each state. Kia’s website provides the space to reserve the EV9, where a holiday-ready gift packet is included, featuring the standout 3-year Kia maintenance plan, one-year subscription to digital services, and a portable charger.
As this news becomes public, we have another thrilling holiday milestone to celebrate along with the sights and sounds of the season: this was Kia's best November sales month with 16 consecutive years of steady growth. The groundbreaking and very high-tech EV9 will arrive shortly in showrooms, with a phenomenal growth strength expected well into the New Year. For pricing in general, the EV9’s strategy is a wakeup call to the industry as it provides a feasible and attractive option in the three-row electric SUV category.
The EV9’s AWD trim includes up to 280 miles of range and can be leased at reasonable & attainable monthly rates. At 197” long, the EV9 is slightly bigger than the heavily awarded and much-loved Telluride and includes some of the industry’s segment-leading SUV capabilities. You’ll be heartily showing up for work or play with over 5,000 lbs of towing, over 81 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row, and 7.8” of ground clearance. Inside resides Kia’s awesome next-gen ccNC infotainment system, with dual 12.3” screens and a 5” HVAC screen for all the pertinent operational details.
The Electrek review crew claimed that this great new SUV has premium potential to be a full-on winter weather conqueror in every way for our brand, with a price that reasonably undercuts the fierce competition. The EV9 boasts a lower price than the Volvo EX90, Rivian R1s, and BMW iX. A few other well-known forums online praised the EV9 for its very upscale interior and lightning-fast charging capabilities. Head-turning style, very smart technology, and each last gift-wrapped detail a 3-row shopper would require are all traits that will allow it to bypass the vast entries in the rival club.
Since you need to downsize to a smaller vehicle or spend much more on the alternatives currently on the market, the EV9 is one of the only choices out there, and thankfully it’s a spectacular one! It drives like a much smaller and lighter vehicle than it is, with a snugly tight turning circle that makes things a snap to maneuver and park. The Kia EV Forums crew tested the GT-line, which provided robust and very confident acceleration. Full one-pedal driving is available, and drivers can specifically adjust how much regenerative braking is adequate with the paddles directly behind the steering wheel.
Combining the best aspects of the EV6 and the 3-row telluride, the 2024 EV9 is comfortable, spacious, and packed to the brim with great features. Its 800-volt architecture can charge from 10% to 80% in less than 25 minutes, making a great model to “soon populate the nation’s many busy school drop-off zones.” The midrange EV9 Wind trim is the first to offer all-wheel drive, and it provides quicker acceleration along with 270 miles of driving range on a full charge. The Land, Wind, and GT-Line trims are all equipped with a 99.8-kWh battery, along with two electric motors and all-wheel drive. The battery pack is covered with a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty, ensuring that your new ownership experience will be memorable, capable, and trustworthy.
