The 2026 Kia EV9 continues to lead Kia's electric lineup with thoughtful upgrades and strong performance. It remains a bold three-row SUV that balances futuristic styling with day-to-day practicality. From smarter in-cabin tech to improved charging and safety systems, this version sharpens the overall experience without changing what drivers already love. It’s roomy, quick, and built for families seeking a smarter, cleaner drive across Canada.

Clean Exterior With More Definition

At first glance the shape is familiar, but look closer and you’ll notice crisper lines, refreshed LED lighting, and sleek new wheel designs that elevate its road presence. The upright front fascia keeps the signature vertical lighting and flush door handles. Depending on trim, new 20- and 21-inch alloys give the EV9 a confident, high-end stance while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency.

Cabin Comfort That’s Quiet and Clever


Inside, EV9 seats up to seven comfortably. Choose second-row captain’s chairs or a full bench for extra passenger room. With the battery under the floor, legroom and headroom feel generous in every row—even for adults. With all seats up you still get 573 litres of cargo space; fold the third row for a massive 2,314 litres—perfect for hockey gear, groceries, or camping trips.

Digital Tech That Feels Built-In

A wide 12.3-inch touchscreen blends into a matching digital gauge display. Both are sharp and responsive, with over-the-air updates to keep features fresh. Kia’s latest OS supports multi-user profiles, cloud-based voice commands, and quick controls for climate and drive modes. Higher trims add rear touchscreen climate controls and USB-C ports in every row; available second-row heated seats make long road trips even easier.

Strong Electric Power, Smooth Ride


Two drivetrains are available. The Light RWD offers a single-motor setup with solid everyday power. For more punch, the dual-motor AWD setup in higher trims delivers up to 379 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, sprinting from 0–97 km/h in under 4.6 seconds. Steering is confident and the balanced suspension makes city streets and backroads equally comfortable. Properly equipped AWD models can tow up to 5,000 lbs.

Range That Works Year-Round

Depending on trim, you’ll find either a 76.1 kWh or larger 99.8 kWh battery pack. Long-range AWD versions can deliver 455+ km on a single charge under ideal conditions. Improved thermal efficiency provides better consistency in colder climates—great for Canadian winters. With DC fast charging, the EV9 can go from 10% to 80% in as little as 24 minutes; Level 2 home charging remains a convenient overnight option.

Safety That Watches Your Back

Every 2026 EV9 includes a robust suite of driver-assistance features such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane Keeping Assist. Highway Driving Assist uses adaptive cruise and lane centring to reduce fatigue. Improved camera resolution and sensor range help the system be more accurate and less intrusive.

Built With Sustainability in Mind

Recycled and plant-based materials are used across the seating, trim panels, and headliner. The cabin feels premium and modern while staying smart for the planet. Seats are soft and supportive, and even the steering wheel uses sustainable materials—proof that eco-friendly can still feel upscale.
