Inside, the 2024 EV9 benefits from Kia’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) for its space. That means a long wheelbase and flat architecture, with the electric motors pushed to the corners for extra flexibility as to how the cabin is used. There’ll be both six- and seven-seat versions, depending on trim, with the first and second rows supporting recline. Alternatively, the second-row seating can be rotated 180 degrees so that they face the third row.
The driver gets a floating-style dashboard with twin 12.3-inch displays and a 5-inch segment display. Physical controls have been intentionally kept to a minimum, Kia says, though there are still buttons and knobs for things like HVAC temperature and fan speed, media volume, and controlling other core settings. Controls on the steering wheel handle media, adaptive cruise, and other usual options, but Kia has also moved the Drive Mode and Terrain Mode controls to the lower portion of the wheel.
The center console between the front seats has multiple storage nooks, and there are cup holders and USB charging ports for all three rows. A wireless charger is also available for those in the front. Full details — including powertrain options, battery size, and expected range — will follow in due course, with Kia promising that the EV9 will make its full premiere later in March 2023. Expect an on-sale date at the end of this year or the start of 2024.
