The 2026 Kia EV9 GT brings an exciting twist to family SUVs with its 501-hp performance. Following the success of the two-row EV6 GT, Kia introduces this three-row powerhouse with a 0-60 mph time of just 4.3 seconds.

The Kia EV9 GT 2026 upgrades from the EV9 GT-Line, replacing its 190-hp motors with 214-hp front and 362-hp rear motors, delivering a combined 501 hp. Inspired by the EV6 GT, it incorporates “virtual gear shifts,” mimicking an eight-speed automatic transmission for a sporty feel. An electronic limited-slip differential ensures efficient power distribution, while a new adaptive suspension system, larger brakes, and 21-inch high-performance tires enhance handling and safety.

High-performance Continental tires and an electronic adaptive suspension elevate the driving experience, ensuring a smooth yet dynamic ride. The EV9 GT is designed to balance family-friendly utility with the thrill of sporty performance.

Tesla-Friendly Charging and Battery Insights
Kia’s first Tesla-compatible NACS charge port debuts with the 2026 Kia EV9 GT Power, allowing faster charging without an adapter. The SUV retains its 99.8 kWh battery, offering an estimated range of 250 miles. Rapid charging from 5% to 80% in just 26 minutes adds convenience, even at non-Tesla stations.


Stylish Design and Premium Features
The 2026 Kia EV9 GT boasts subtle yet sporty styling, with neon green accents, unique wheels, and Alcantara-wrapped seats. Exclusive lighting patterns and advanced driver-assistance technologies further enhance its appeal.
