The The 2025 Kia EV9 is a fully electric three-row SUV designed to address the technical requirements of contemporary mobility. This model introduces a scalable platform that integrates long-range battery configurations, advanced driver assistance systems, and functional interior architecture. Built on the E-GMP platform, the 2025 Kia EV9 demonstrates Kia’s direction toward modular electric solutions with an emphasis on utility, cabin space optimization, and integrated digital systems.

Cargo Management and Storage Volume
Cargo volume in the 2025 Kia EV9 is configured to support various load requirements. With the third-row seats folded, the 2025 Kia EV9 provides 43.5 cubic feet of storage space. Folding both the second and third rows expands total cargo capacity to 81.7 cubic feet. When all seating rows are in position, the vehicle still retains 20.2 cubic feet of cargo space in the rear. These specifications enable the 2025 Kia EV9 to serve multiple utility roles, including passenger transport, equipment hauling, and recreational use.

Interior Layout and Passenger Configuration
The 2025 Kia EV9 is available in both six- and seven-passenger layouts. The cabin architecture incorporates flexible second-row seating, with options for captain's chairs or bench seating. The lounge seat configuration available in some trims includes powered leg rests, seat ventilation, and extendable footrests. These features are integrated with seat memory functions and can be electronically controlled through the cabin’s central interface.

Interior space is maximized for occupant comfort and gear storage. Second-row legroom measures 42.8 inches, while total passenger volume reaches 160.3 cubic feet. These measurements position the 2025 Kia EV9 at the upper limit of space efficiency among electric three-row SUVs.
Battery Configurations and Driving Range
The 2025 Kia EV9 is available with two lithium-ion battery configurations that support distinct use cases. The Standard Range model is equipped with a 76.1 kWh battery, offering an EPA-estimated driving range of 230 miles. This version is applicable for daily operation in urban and suburban environments, where charging intervals are shorter, and average distances are predictable.
The Long Range variant integrates a 99.8 kWh battery system. Under WLTP standards, this configuration is rated for up to 304 miles of driving range, extending operational capability for extended regional use and intercity travel. Both battery systems are designed for integration with high-voltage architecture and support regenerative braking for efficiency optimization.
Drivetrain Performance and Torque Delivery
The 2025 Kia EV9 features multiple drivetrain configurations to accommodate varying requirements for power and traction. The rear-wheel drive configuration is powered by a single electric motor delivering 215 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
The all-wheel drive model integrates dual electric motors, combining for a total output of 379 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. This configuration enhances traction control and improves launch stability. This setup is more appropriate for applications that require all-weather capability, variable terrain responsiveness, or higher power delivery during acceleration cycles.
DC Fast Charging and V2L Integration
The 2025 Kia EV9 is engineered with compatibility for DC fast charging infrastructure. It supports a charging input that allows users to recharge from 10% to 80% in a significantly reduced time frame under optimal conditions. This charging capability reduces vehicle downtime and aligns with high-usage scenarios that demand rapid turnaround.
In addition to direct charging, the 2025 Kia EV9 includes a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) system. This bidirectional energy feature enables the 2025 Kia EV9 to act as a power source for external devices such as laptops, electric tools, or recreational equipment, further expanding its range of use beyond mobility.
Digital Display and Interface Architecture
The 2025 Kia EV9 dashboard is built around a digital interface composed of three integrated displays. These include a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a 5-inch climate control screen, and a 12.3-inch infotainment system. These components are aligned horizontally to form a continuous digital display area. The HVAC touchscreen is placed between the instrument and infotainment screens, allowing for direct access to ventilation and temperature controls.
The system supports user customization and facilitates access to vehicle settings, driver profiles, and multimedia content. Operating logic prioritizes visibility and response time, reducing driver distraction and enabling streamlined interaction with the digital systems.
Access Technology and Mobile Integration
The 2025 Kia EV9 includes Kia’s Digital Key system, which enables vehicle entry, ignition, and control via compatible smartphones. This function replaces the traditional key fob and supports user-specific permissions, enabling controlled access for multiple drivers. Digital Key operation is integrated with the vehicle’s security protocols and can be deactivated remotely if necessary.
Cabin Audio and Device Charging
An available Meridian® audio system comprises 14 strategically placed speakers. The audio system is calibrated to accommodate cabin acoustics and maintains consistent output across all three rows.
The 2025 Kia EV9 includes multiple USB-C charging ports, accessible from each row. A wireless charging pad located in the front center console includes a cooling system designed to prevent device overheating during extended charging sessions. Power distribution is structured to support multiple simultaneous device connections without compromising current stability.
Standard Safety and Structural Reinforcement
The 2025 Kia EV9 includes 25 standard driver assistance and safety systems. These features are embedded into the vehicle’s operating software and function in coordination with radar and camera-based sensors.
Collision avoidance capabilities include Automatic Emergency Braking with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction detection. A Blind-Spot View Monitor provides real-time video feeds when turn signals are engaged. The Rear Occupant Alert system uses internal sensors to detect presence in the back rows and issues alerts accordingly.
Ten airbags are positioned throughout the cabin, including side curtain coverage for all three rows. The body structure uses reinforced materials at critical impact zones to redirect collision energy and preserve cabin integrity.
Advanced Driver Assistance and Parking Support
The Highway Driving Assist 2 system combines adaptive cruise control and lane-centering technology to support semi-autonomous operation under defined conditions. Front, rear, and side-mounted ultrasonic sensors enable the 2025 Kia EV9 to detect nearby objects and initiate automatic braking if a collision is imminent during parking maneuvers.
Sensor calibration and camera resolution have been optimized for low-speed maneuvering, contributing to the vehicle’s overall spatial awareness in confined environments such as parking lots or loading zones.
Climate Management and Glass Features
The 2025 Kia EV9 includes three-zone automatic climate control with independent zones for the driver, front passenger, and rear seating areas. Roof-mounted rotating vents serve the second and third rows to ensure airflow distribution across the cabin. An automatic windshield defogging system monitors humidity levels and activates as needed to maintain visibility.
All side windows are powered with one-touch up/down functionality. The electric parking brake includes an auto-hold feature for stop-and-go driving in traffic conditions or on inclines.
