This flagship SUV for Kia is its first three-row electric vehicle, and the company clearly wants to continue the bold design approach evident in the EV6, though with the EV9 the sweeping lines of its smaller stablemate have been replaced by polygons.\nThe “engineering target” for the EV9 electric SUV is a 540-km range, or 337 miles.\nIndeed, it’s a neat trick to combine “rugged” and “sleek,” but Kia might just have managed it here.\nLittle information beyond the design has been released for the EV9, but previous Kia Corporation presentation images have revealed that the “engineering target” for the electric SUV is a 540-kilometer range, or 337 miles, slightly more than the RWD 77.4-kWh EV6 with its 328 miles.\nAs for speed, the EV9’s 0-to 60-mph target is 5 seconds, not far off the EV6 AWD (5.2 seconds).
