2024 Kia EV9 Starts at $56,395 With 230 Miles of Range

• The base Kia EV9 will cost $56K and go 230 miles on a charge.
• A Long Range model packs an impressive 304 miles of range.
• Predictably, AWD models lose range for performance, offering at least 379 hp with 280 miles of range.

EV9 Land – 280 miles

Kia will charge buyers $71,395 for the EV9 Land, which adds a new Digital Pattern Lighting Grille, 14-speaker Meridian sound system and other luxuries. Strangely, this appears to be the point at which the EV9 can be ordered with blind-spot monitoring, a very common feature in even the cheapest cars. An optional towing package bumps towing capacity to 5,000 pounds, but Kia has not provided pricing.

EV9 GT-Line – 270 miles

As with other models, the EV9 will have a GT-Line trim, priced at $75,395. Barring a full EV9 GT, this is the current range-topper in the lineup. These models will have their own unique front and rear fascias. While power outputs are the same as the other dual-motor EV9 models, torque rises to 516 lb-ft. The GT-Line also adds Kia’s Remote Smart Parking Assist 2, which allows drivers to park remotely or exit from certain spots while outside the vehicle. You’ll also find other trim-exclusive touches on the interior and reclining rear seats with a footrest. Deliveries are starting late this year, and Kia plans to move production for the EV9 to its new West Point, Georgia, facility in 2024.

Edmunds says

The EV9 is a hair more expensive than we’d predicted, with the GT-Line trim topping out at more than $75,000. Still, the pricing puts the top-spec EV9 just under competitors like the Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S.
