Kia barely touched the 2027 EV9’s price, raising it by only $90 while sneaking in a few extra standard features on select trims.
📌 The Core Development
Kia’s three-row electric SUV returns for the 2027 model year, mostly as a carryover model with a few design and packaging updates.
The 2027 Kia EV9 starts at $54,990, up a measly $90 from last year’s model. That’s for the base EV9 Light short-range trim, which uses a 76.1 kWh battery and delivers up to 230 miles of range.
🔍 Background & Sector Context
Higher-priced trims, including the Light Long Range, Wind, Land, and GT-Line, use a larger 99.8 kWh battery that delivers up to 305 miles of range in RWD variants.
The Wind and Land trims have standard all-wheel-drive (AWD) and offer up to 283 miles of range, while the GT-Line is also AWD but offers slightly less range at 280 miles.
📊 Industry & Real-World Impact
Kia’s dual-motor e-AWD system delivers up to 379 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque in the EV9 GT-Line, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
