A few days ago, Kia Motors released its financial report for the first quarter of 2024, which also mentioned relevant news about the EV9 GT. According to the report, the EV9 GT will be launched in January 2025, and the car will be equipped with a dual-motor system, which will have a significant increase in power. Officially, the new car has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of less than 4 seconds, considering that this is a large SUV, such a data performance is still very worth looking forward to.
Regarding range, unless Kia plans to improve battery chemistry, the new range could take a hit. This is often the case when EVs get performance processing at the expense of efficiency. Under EPA testing, the EV9 GT-Line currently on sale has a range of 435 kilometers on a single charge.
In addition, the new car is not the only GT version of the brand that will be launched soon, we have seen the new car declaration of the EV5 GT from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, but the official has not mentioned the launch time of the car at this time.
In other aspects, we also saw the new car schedule of the Kia brand in the home market from the earnings conference, the new Kia K3 will be launched in the first quarter, the updated Kia EV6 is scheduled to be launched in the second quarter of this year, the EV6 GT will be launched in the fourth quarter, and Kia will also update the Sportage in the fourth quarter. Elsewhere, the Kia EV3 and the new Kia EV4 will be launched in the third quarter, while the Kia K8 sold in North America will be limited to a mid-cycle facelift.
