2026 Kia EV9 Model Review - Phoenix, AZ

What's New for the 2026 Kia EV9?

Kia's EV9 is perfect for the families who care about the environment and efficiency. For 2026, the EV9 picks up a Nightfall Edition trim. Blacked out looks have been a very fashionable choice for modern families. EV9 buyers will also enjoy a generous and pleasant line of available color options that include Wolf Gray, Ocean Blue, and Ebony Black, among many others.

What Are the 2026 EV9 Trims & Features?

The newest EV9 is available in Light, Light Long Range, Wind, Land, and GT-Line trims. A base model EV9 seats seven people and includes a convenient second-row bench seat. Its SynTex seats are heated and ventilated for maximum comfort. The LIGHT's exterior is just as impressive and includes a smart power liftgate and 19-inch alloy wheels. Wind trims add all-wheel drive, roof rails, and a dual sunroof. The GT-Line showcases everything an EV9 can be. It comes with 21-inch alloy wheels, raised roof rails, LED cube projector headlights, and a combined 29.6-inch panoramic touchscreen display with navigation.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 EV9 Have?

A 2026 Kia EV9 comes with multiple horsepower options. A Light trim delivers 215 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque; Long Range Light trims are good for 201 horsepower. Dual motor designs are the rule of the day for later trims and deliver 379 horsepower. Nightfall Edition designs will get a boost in torque, but the horsepower should remain the same.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 EV9 Include?

Kia is an old pro at protecting EV9 travelers. You'll get all the basics: automatic emergency braking, parking sensors, and Lane Following Assist 2. Lane Following Assist 2 is a very advanced feature that monitors the driver's hands on the wheel and the steering angle. If you take your hands off the wheel for a family emergency, the EV9 detects this and keeps you centered in your lane until you return to duty. While this isn't a hands-off driving system, it protects you in those rare moments when you might be dangerously distracted. Other great Kia EV9 driver-assist features include blind-spot collision warning, Highway Driving Assist 2, and Safe Exit Assist.
