2024 Kia EV9: A Sneak Peek at Range Numbers
Get ready for the highly anticipated 2024 Kia EV9! Kia has been gradually releasing information about this exciting electric vehicle, and we now have some range numbers to share. Just recently, Kia announced the initial pricing and full lineup details, and now we have a clearer picture of what each trim has to offer.
First up is the EV9 Light Long Range RWD, priced at $60,695. This trim boasts the highest range among all the variants. Initially advertised to have 300 miles of range, testing has revealed that it actually has a slightly higher range of 304 miles. Impressive, right?
Moving on to the EV9 Wind e-AWD and the EV9 Land e-AWD, both priced at the same level. These models offer slightly less range due to their dual-motor setup and all-wheel drive configuration. They provide a range of 280 miles, which is still quite respectable.
Now, let’s talk about the most powerful EV9 – the GT-Line e-AWD. Sporting an impressive 379 horsepower and a dual-motor setup, it offers a range of 270 miles. Surprisingly, the base Light RWD trim, priced at $56,395, has the lowest range among the lineup, with only 230 miles.
It’s important to note that, except for the base Light RWD, all EV9 trims come equipped with a 99.8 kWh battery, while the Light RWD has a slightly smaller 76.1 kWh battery. Additionally, all models offer four drive modes – Eco, Normal, Sport, and My Mode – while the all-wheel drive models add a fifth Snow mode.
When comparing the EV9’s range to its competitors, it falls somewhere in the middle. The Mercedes-Benz EQE matches the EV9’s Wind, Land, and GT-Line trims with 279 miles of range, although it comes at a higher price. Another competitor to look out for is the upcoming Volvo EX90, targeting 300 miles of range. However, this falls short of the EV9 Light Long Range RWD, and the EX90 also comes with a higher price tag.
If you’re willing to splurge a little more, you can consider the Tesla Model X or Model Y, both of which offer more range but come with a higher price. The base Model X, priced at just over $76,000, offers nearly 350 miles of range, while the Rivian R1S, with a cost of almost $100,000, provides an impressive 400-mile range.
If these range numbers have piqued your interest, mark your calendars as the 2024 Kia EV9 is set to arrive at dealerships later this year. Get ready to experience the future of electric vehicles!
