2026 Kia EV9 GT: The Future of High-Performance Electric SUVs
Publié 3 avril 2025
The 2026 Kia EV9 GT is set to redefine the electric SUV segment, bringing high-performance driving, futuristic design, and cutting-edge technology together in one dynamic package. Expected to hit Canadian roads in the summer of 2025, this all-electric powerhouse will be Kia's most thrilling SUV yet. With its aggressive styling and race-inspired interior, the EV9 GT offers an electrifying driving experience like never before.
Power Meets Innovation: The EV9 GT’s Electrifying Performance
Beneath its sleek, bold exterior, the Kia EV9 GT houses a powerful dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system that delivers an impressive 545 lb-ft of torque and 501 horsepower. This setup allows the EV9 GT to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds to make it one of the fastest electric SUVs in its class. Additionally, you can now tow up to 5,000 lbs for adventures.
Additionally, the Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS) enhances ride comfort and adapts to different driving conditions in real-time. The electronic limited-slip differential improves handling, ensuring stability and grip on city streets or winding roads.
For those seeking thrill and responsiveness, the GT Drive Mode unlocks the vehicle’s full performance potential, optimizing acceleration, steering, and braking for an exhilarating ride.
Ultra-Fast Charging and Impressive Range
The EV9 GT is built on Kia's cutting-edge 800V electrical architecture, which allows ultra-fast charging. With a DC 350-watt fast charger, the battery can power up to 80% in just 25 minutes. The Kia version is called "VGS," which stands for "Virtual Gearshift System." Simulated gearshifts in an electric car with a one-speed transmission seem odd but really do add to driver enjoyment.
Although official range figures are yet to be confirmed, the EV9 GT is expected to offer a competitive all-electric driving range, making it an excellent option for both daily commuting and long-distance travel.
Aggressive and Aerodynamic: Exterior Design That Demands Attention
The EV9 GT sets itself apart with an ultra-sleek and aerodynamic design that enhances both performance and efficiency. The SUV's wide stance, chiselled lines, and futuristic lighting elements make a commanding presence on the road.
Notable exterior features include:
- Exclusive GT-inspired Front Fascia with a bold grille and aggressive bumper styling
- Signature "Energetic" LED Light Pattern, adding a futuristic touch
- 21-inch GT-Specific Wheels, engineered for both style and performance
- Sportier Rear Diffuser, enhancing aerodynamics for better stability
Kia’s "Opposites United" design philosophy, which won the 2024 Car Design Award, is beautifully showcased in the EV9 GT, which blends futuristic aesthetics with functional aerodynamics.
Premium Comfort and Advanced Technology in the Cabin
The EV9 GT combines luxury and performance for an immersive driving experience. Its cabin features Neon Green GT accents, Alcantara sports seats with GT logos, and a GT-specific steering wheel with performance controls for enhanced engagement.
Advanced technology enhances every drive, with dual 12.3-inch Panoramic Displays for infotainment and navigation, an Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (HUD) for real-time driving data, and Intelligent Cruise Control with Highway Driving Assist 2. A 360° Surround-View Camera boosts safety and convenience.
Designed for both thrill-seekers and families, the EV9 GT delivers high performance while maintaining comfort, space, and everyday practicality.
