Kia India plans to expand its portfolio in the Indian EV market. In order to accomplish this, the Korean carmaker intends to display its Kia EV9 electric concept SUV during the 2023 Auto Expo, which will be hosted at Pragati Maidan in Delhi. The car will likely be released the following year. The EV9, which debuted at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, is already making its way to India. The newly released electric car follows the Kia EV6's recent introduction in India.
The Kia EV9 concept features an aggressive face with a futuristic design. Moreover, it gets a unique blanked-out panel with LED lights and a Z-shaped headlamp cluster. However, the body design follows the traditional boxy design generally seen in SUVs.
The SUV will be based on the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) platform of the company, which restricts the wheelbase of the Kia EV9 to 3,100 mm. It is the same platform that underpins Kia EV6.
The Kia EV9 has a massive size with a length of 4,929mm, a width of 2,055mm in width and a height of 1,790mm.
The Kia EV9 concept has a futuristic headlight design that shows a very different design that has been unseen in any previous model.
Talking about the features of the Kia EV9, as you might expect from such a vehicle, it gets a futuristic layout with sustainable materials. The interiors of the concept EV will have materials like natural wool yarns, fishnet debris, recycled plastic, and plant-based extracts. To make it more appealing, the car will have ambient LED lighting with a three-row layout.
The Kia EV9 concept will probably have a 77.4kWh battery pack. The battery pack is comparatively bigger than the one in the Kia EV6. The battery pack is expected to give a range of around 540 kms to the SUV.
