Korean cars have indeed lost the hot momentum of more than 30 years ago, and the Elantra, Hyundai IX35, Kia K5, Kia Smart Sports, and Hyundai Shengda, which were once popular all over the country, have now been eclipsed. Today's automobile market vane has also begun to turn to the field of new energy vehicles, Volkswagen, Honda, Toyota, Nissan by accelerating the pace of updating classic models, eat some old capital, on the other hand, will also re-invest in the research and development of new energy models. Tesla, BYD, NIO, Xpeng, Ideal, Denza, and ZEEKR seized the dividends of the new energy vehicle era and became popular. As a Korean car brand, Kia also held back its strength and launched the Kia EV9 GT version of the new energy vehicle era. The Korean series also has a large one, with a length of more than 5 meters, equipped with a dual-motor four-wheel drive system, and accelerates to 100 kilometers in 4 seconds.
The Kia EV9 GT is a newly developed mid-to-large SUV that incorporates Kia's latest design philosophy. The shape of the front face is still very sci-fi. The front hatch that is not flat has a ridged design, with a closed front grille, a through-type silver chrome trim strip, a snap-in front bumper and a silver front lip, showing a strong mecha flavor. The closed grille adopts a time spy light curtain design on both sides, and the LED daytime running lights on both sides are squeezed to the most marginal position on both sides, and there are countless independent LED light sources arranged in a matrix on the inside, which can form different "light languages" and the lighting effect is also better. The rear of the car has a square silhouette, and the artistic taillights are integrated with a chic red LED light strip design, which is highly recognizable when lit. The silver and black rear surround, the "EV9" and "GT" silver logos placed on the left and right sides are also particularly eye-catching, highlighting its identity as a new energy SUV.
The length, width and height of the Kia EV9 GT body have come to 5050*2055*1790mm, which is more burly than the Asia Telluride, like a "big brother" feeling, and the wheelbase has reached more than 3 meters. This design looks out of place from the side. The special blue paint creates a striking contrast with the black A-pillars, gloss black side skirts, and gloss black wheel arches. The closed rims reduce wind resistance and complement the tall and burly body. Hidden door handles and electronic mirrors reduce the wind resistance of the whole vehicle. The car adopts a 2+2+2 6-seat layout, and the reasonable seat layout also makes it convenient for rear passengers to get on and off the bus.
The interior design is minimalist, stylish and technological. The enveloping cabin is made of a large number of eco-friendly organic materials, Alcantara fabric, and light blue leather, which makes the interior full of vitality, and it is obvious at a glance that this is a new energy SUV. The floating center console is equipped with Kia's customary four-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a chic pocket gear design, and a small-sized paddle shifter design on both sides, which not only frees up more space, but also brings a better handling experience. Color displays on both sides of the air-conditioning vents are equipped with electronic mirrors, which optimize the viewing angle and allow the driver to better understand the vehicle's surroundings. The suspended color LCD instrument and the central control LCD screen are integrated, and the sense of science and technology keeps pace with the times. In terms of configuration, keyless entry/start, one-button start, segmented panoramic sunroof, leather seats, 10 airbags, tire pressure monitoring, 64-color ambient lighting, car refrigerator, 360-degree image of the whole car, adaptive cruise control, and meridian audio (14 speakers) can be said to be everything.
At its core, the Kia EV9GT will be powered by dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of less than four seconds, as well as upgrades to the chassis suspension and braking system. The suspension adopts a combination of front and rear double wishbone independent suspension, and the drive form is rear-wheel drive/four-wheel drive. It is equipped with continuously adjustable damping ADS+AIRMATIC air suspension. In terms of battery, it will be mated to a 73 kWh battery pack with a maximum EPA range of about 300 miles (483 km), but the biggest highlight of the car is its refueling efficiency, with 350 kW fast charging technology, which can charge from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes

As a flagship model under the E-GMP pure electric platform, the new car is not only tall and burly in appearance, but also equipped with dual-motor and four-wheel drive, which is powerful, strong and practical. The whole vehicle is stacked with a large number of sci-fi design elements, getting rid of the cookie-cutter design, which is eye-catching. The interior space is spacious enough, and the 6-seater can also meet the needs of a family of many people. If the car was listed at a reasonable price, would you choose it?
