Kia’s most powerful three-row SUV yet, the new EV9 GT, is now available to order in the UK, combining thrilling electric performance, next-level technology and family-friendly practicality.

Kia has officially launched its most powerful electric SUV to date, the all-new Kia EV9 GT, a striking blend of sports car performance and seven-seat practicality. Priced from £82,185, the EV9 GT redefines what a family SUV can be, offering 502bhp, cutting-edge technology, and a 280-mile WLTP range all wrapped in Kia’s boldest EV styling yet.

At the heart of the EV9 GT is a dual-motor AWD powertrain delivering a staggering 740Nm of torque and 502bhp. This allows the SUV to sprint from 0 to 62mph in just 4.6 seconds, a figure that puts it firmly in high-performance territory.

Powered by a 99.8kWh battery, the EV9 GT supports 800V ultra-fast charging, taking the battery from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes using a 350kW DC charger. The SUV also features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, meaning you can power external devices directly from the car.

The EV9 GT elevates driving with standard Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS) and Road Preview System, offering a smooth and adaptable ride. A Virtual Gear Shift simulates paddle-operated gear changes, enhancing driver engagement across multiple drive modes including the GT-exclusive GT Mode, which unlocks the vehicle’s full performance potential.

Also included is Active Sound Design, an electronic Limited Slip Differential (e-LSD), and iPedal 3.0 for regenerative braking.

Visually, the EV9 GT distinguishes itself with GT-exclusive styling, including 21-inch alloy wheels, neon green brake calipers, and a GT-dedicated digital grille with energetic light patterns. Inside, the SUV offers a high-end cabin trimmed in dark suede and faux leather with neon green accents.

All models come with heated and ventilated front and rear seats, power-adjustable sport seats, and a triple-panoramic display combining infotainment and driver information. Families can choose between a seven-seat layout or an optional six-seat version with second-row relaxation chairs and a sliding centre console.

The EV9 GT is one of the most connected and technologically advanced vehicles Kia has ever produced, featuring:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™

• 14-speaker Meridian® Premium Sound System

• Customisable ambient lighting & head-up display

• Remote Smart Parking Assist 2.0

• Over-the-Air (OTA) updates via Kia Connect

• 360° surround view camera and Blind-Spot View Monitor

• Adaptive cruise control with lane keep assist & Highway Driving Assist 2.0

A full suite of active safety systems, ISOFIX anchor points, rear occupant alert, and 7 airbags make this a truly family-ready GT car.

The Kia EV9 GT is available to order now, starting from £82,185 OTR for the seven-seat model or £83,185 for the six-seat variant. Five premium paint finishes can be added for £725, and all models are backed by Kia’s 7-year/100,000-mile warranty and 8-year battery warranty.

First UK customer deliveries are expected to begin in late Q3 2025.
