- Kia has revealed the full 2024 EV9 range, starting at the $56,395 rear-wheel-drive Light model.
- The Light Long Range can cover more miles for $60,695, while stepping up to the all-wheel-drive Wind variant will cost $65,395.

Just a couple of weeks after announcing the 2024 Kia EV9's base price, the South Korean automaker has revealed full pricing details for its three-row electric SUV. Five variants will be available when deliveries kick off late this year, starting at the rear-wheel-drive EV9 Light and topping off with the sporty EV9 GT-Line e-AWD.
The entry-level Light RWD starts at $56,395 and features an electric motor on the rear axle that provides 215 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The 800-volt architecture supports DC fast-charging as standard, and the cabin also comes with an eight-way power adjustable, heated and cooled driver's seat.
Long Range
Those looking to take longer road trips can opt for the $60,695 EV9 Light Long Range model, which upgrades the battery pack from the standard 76.1-kWh pack to a 99.8-kWh pack. This should provide a range of around 300 miles, according to Kia, and the Long Range model is also fitted with captain's chairs in the second row to give passengers a more comfortable ride on lengthier journeys.
The cheapest all-wheel-drive EV9 will be the Wind trim, starting at $65,395. The dual-motor setup combines for 379 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque, and this model brings a standard heated steering wheel and a heat pump to help the battery cope with colder temperatures.
Buyers seeking a more feature-heavy interior with all-wheel drive will have to pony up $71,395 for the EV9 Land, which adds snazzy "digital pattern" lighting elements on the front and 20-inch wheels. Inside, there's a heated and power-adjustable steering wheel, digital rearview mirror, and a 14-speaker Meridian sound system. The Land model also includes more driver-assistance technology, while an optional towing package boosts hauling capability up to 5000 pounds.
Atop the range sits the EV9 GT-Line, an all-wheel-drive performance-oriented version that sees torque boosted to 516 pound-feet. At $75,395, the GT-Line also wears special front and rear designs and 21-inch wheels. The GT-Line features standard remote smart parking assist, and the cabin is decked out in more luxurious materials and unique trim elements. Sales of the EV9 are set to begin later this year.
