According to foreign media reports, Kia's latest flagship SUV, the EV9, will be launched in 2023. Kia EV9 is based on the E-GMP pure electric platform, with a length of more than 5 meters, an acceleration of 100 kilometers in 5 seconds, and will also be equipped with Kia AutoMode automatic driving technology.
Although the true appearance of the Kia EV9 has not yet been revealed, we can take a look at the EV9 concept car previously unveiled at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The Kia EV9 concept car uses a lot of tough lines and looks more powerful. Its front face is enclosed in a closed design, and officially said that its interior incorporates a complex hidden display that looks futuristic.
In terms of size, the EV9 concept car has a length× width and height of 4930×2055×1790mm, and a wheelbase of 3100mm. From the side, the EV9 concept car does not have a significant waistline design, and the lines of the front and rear wheel arches create a muscular feeling. This concept car does not have the traditional door handles and exterior mirrors, and it looks very simple. The new car's 22-inch rim design is also very personal, and the internal triangle structure also takes into account the aerodynamic performance.
The design of the rear of the car echoes the front face, and the irregular light group is expected to have a good lighting effect. A lot of chrome trim is incorporated into the rear bumper. The EV9 mass production version may not adopt the concept car design 100%, but the whole outline is still similar, and we will know after the official disclosure.
The interior of the EV9 Concept Edition is also very simple in design, except for a 27-inch ultra-wide display and a personalized steering wheel, there is almost no other mechanism in front, which is very simple. From past experience, this design will not appear on the production version of the model. However, the EV9 will be equipped with Kia AutoMode autopilot technology, and the functional performance is similar to Tesla FSD, Xiaopeng NGP and so on.
The design of the Kia EV9 is completely different from the current Kia model, and it represents a new starting point for Kia's electrification, and if there is no accident, this car may also enter the country in the later stage.
