2024 Kia EV9 India arrival happens with it being a serious talk of the town. Kia India seems to be taking Indian consumers for ride with its EV car pricing strategy. The EV6 was priced closed to the BMW i4 and now the EV9 is priced at Rs 1.29 crore. A mere 11 lakh less than a Mercedes EQS priced at Rs 1.41 crore! The vehicle is powered by a 99.8 kWh battery, the EV9 offers an impressive range of up to 561 km on a single charge, making it suitable for both city commutes and long-distance travel. Its ultra-fast charging capability allows the battery to recharge from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes with a 350kW DC charger.
Inside, the EV9 introduces Kia Connect 2.0, a sophisticated integration that provides seamless connectivity with smart devices, real-time updates, and remote vehicle control. The over-the-air (OTA) software updates ensure that software enhancements can be performed without needing a dealership visit. The EV9 packs 44 controllers through which the car can be diagnosed remotely. The Digital Key 2.0 allows owners to unlock and start the vehicle using their smartphones, reinforcing the vehicle’s tech-driven identity. Additionally, the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature enhances convenience by enabling users to power devices while on the move.
Built on the ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy, the EV9 features a futuristic, angular design highlighted by a digital pattern lighting grille that enhances its striking presence.
The EV9’s digital prowess is further exemplified by its Trinity panoramic display, which combines a 31.24cm (12.3-inch) HD display instrument cluster, a 12.7cm (5-inch) HD HVAC display, and a 31.24 cm (12.3-inch) HD touchscreen navigation system. This integration provides an immersive and intuitive driving experience, simplifying access to essential information and boosting both convenience and safety on the road. Safety is also a priority with the EV9, which boasts over 27 Autonomous ADAS features, multi-collision brakes, vehicle stability management, and a comprehensive 10-airbag system, ensuring maximum protection for all occupants.
