Kia Canada Sets the Stage with 2024 EV9 Pricing
November 14 2023,
Kia Canada's latest announcement has set a new benchmark in the electric vehicle (EV) industry with the introduction of the 2024 Kia EV9. As Kia’s first fully electric three-row SUV, the EV9 not only expands the brand's electric lineup but also serves as a pioneer in the mass market EV segment.
Powertrain Options: A Blend of Performance and Technology
The 2024 EV9, built on Kia's Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), showcases advanced battery technology in two configurations. The 76.1-kWh battery variant offers a range of up to 370 km, while the more robust 99.8-kWh battery comes in two versions: a single-motor setup with a range of up to 489 km, and a dual-motor, 283-kW (379-hp) all-wheel-drive option with a range of up to 451km. The EV9's ultrafast charging capability is a standout feature, enabling it to recharge from 10 to 80 percent in under 25 minutes.
Design Philosophy and Trim Levels
In line with Kia's commitment to sustainability, the EV9’s design and trim levels - Light, Wind, and Land - reflect a harmony with nature. Each trim level offers distinct features, with the Land trim available in two exclusive packages: Premium and GT-Line. The GT-Line package distinguishes itself with 21-inch lightweight alloy wheels and unique design elements.
Pricing Strategy: Accessibility Meets Choice
Kia Canada has strategically priced the 2024 EV9 to cater to a diverse consumer base:
- Light RWD: $59,995
- Wind RWD: $62,995
- Land AWD: $64,995

This pricing framework underlines Kia's intent, as stated by Elias El-Achhab, VP and COO of Kia Canada, to offer an innovative yet accessible EV that suits various lifestyles.
The arrival of the Kia EV9 in December at Canadian dealerships is a notable development in the EV market. This model combines cutting-edge technology, thoughtful design, and varied pricing to cater to the evolving needs of Canadian drivers, positioning the 2024 Kia EV9 as a key player in the electric SUV segment.
