2026 Kia EV9 GT Design preview

Kia America unveiled the high-performance 2026 Kia EV9 GT SUV at the LA Auto Show.

With an estimated 501 horsepower propelled through dual electric motors mounted front and rear, the EV9 GT is targeted to hit 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds and represents the most powerful three-row SUV Kia has ever produced.

An electronically controlled suspension, a first for a Kia SUV, sets shock damping based on the selected drive mode or through the GT button mounted on the steering wheel, while larger front brakes are designed to bring the angular SUV to a reassuring halt.

Unique design elements inside and out set the EV9 GT apart from the rest of the award-winning EV9 model range.

Assembled in South Korea and expected to arrive in the latter half of 2025, the Kia EV9 GT follows on the heels of the hot-blooded EV6 GT but with more room for passengers and their gear.

Pricing will be announced closer to the EV9 GT’s on-sale date.
