Kia EV9 trim levels and pricing announced for Canada
Kia has announced the trim levels and pricing for its EV9 electric SUV in the Canadian market. The new model is the first three-row electric SUV from the brand, starting at CA$59,995 for the Light RWD model, which has a 215 hp motor and 19-in wheels. A full price list can be found below.
Options include switching the 76.1kWh battery in the Light trim for a larger 99.8kWh power pack, used in the Wind and Land versions. For the Wind, this increases the estimated range from 370 km (~230 miles) to 489 km (~304 miles). The Land is an AWD model, with the motors delivering 283 kW or 379 hp. This decreases the range to 451 km (~280 miles) for the Land and Land with Premium Pack or 435 km (~270 miles) for the Land GT-Line. Kia notes that a 10 to 80% charge of the EV9 takes around 25 minutes when using ultrafast DC chargers.
With the Land's Premium and GT-Line packages, you also pay for changes to the vehicle's exterior. For example, the GT-Line has a bridge-type roof rail, gloss black side mirrors, tweaks to the front and rear bumper design and 21-in lightweight alloy wheels. Customers in Canada can order the Kia EV9 electric SUV, with the first deliveries to dealerships expected in December. In other news, a leaked letter has revealed that Kia has asked dealers in the US to sell the EV9 at its MSRP.
