The Kia EV9 has already established itself as a disruptor, winning several World Car of the Year awards since its debut. In 2026, it remains the primary choice for families who need a boxier, more traditional SUV look in an all-electric format. It offers power levels ranging from 215 hp to potentially 500+ hp in the GT trims.

The EV9 features three rows of seating and a sophisticated 12.3-inch dual-screen infotainment system. Range varies from 370 km for the Short Range RWD model to 489 km for the Land AWD model. Its 800V system allows for ultra-fast charging at public stations. The 2026 Kia EV9 is currently available at dealerships across Canada.
