The Kia EV9 continues to rack up the accolades. It was recently named Cars.com's Best Electric Vehicle of 2025. Not only does this electric-powered luxury SUV offer great comfort for the entire family, but it's also remarkably practical. Striking exterior styling and an attractive starting price make the vehicle even more appealing. Let's take a closer look at what Cars.com's team loved about the new EV9.
Lively Performance With an Impressive Driving Range
While the EV9's single-motor powertrain develops a competitive 201 horsepower, opting for the two-motor e-AWD system raises production to a stout 379 horsepower. Drivers who crave even more exhilarating acceleration should check out the GT-Line AWD trim, which develops a monstrous 516 lb-ft of torque. Along with the extra muscle comes an increased maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
With the ability to charge from 10% to 80% in just under 25 minutes, the EV9 makes transitioning to an electric model an easy process. Cars.com also praises the EV9 for its pleasant road manners. You will enjoy this three-row SUV's predictable handling and smooth ride.
Practical Interior
Designed to accommodate up to seven people, the new EV9 is made to satisfy the needs of modern families. Cars.com was impressed with the SUV's roomy second and third rows. Parents will also have no issues installing child seats. A flexible cargo area further highlights the EV9's everyday practicality. Intuitive interior controls only add to the SUV's charm. Just a few of the standard amenities include heated/ventilated front seats, a hands-free Smart Power Liftgate, and a panoramic infotainment display.
Modern Safety Technologies
All of Kia's latest safety features are available for the new EV9. Designed with Junction Turning and Crossing Detection, the SUV's Automatic Emergency Braking technology dramatically reduces the likelihood of a collision. Even when encountering curves, Kia's Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control system can seamlessly adjust your speed. Other standard safety technologies include Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Keep Assist.
