2026 Kia EV9

The 2026 Kia EV9 is a high-voltage fortress that redefines what a family hauler can be, trading traditional SUV soft spots for raw, electric authority. As your premier EV headquarters at Jeffrey Kia, located just North of Detroit in Roseville, we know that life in Sterling Heights, Warren, and Macomb requires a machine that can handle a full crew without flinching. The 2026 EV9 delivers with a massive three-row cabin, available dual-motor AWD muscle, and—new for this year—the native NACS (Tesla-compatible) charging port. This isn't just a quiet cruiser; it’s a wide-track, 5,000-lb towing beast designed to dominate the Michigan landscape while leaving gas stations in the rearview.

Interior

Inside the 2026 EV9, you’ll find a "Neo-Rugged" command center that offers first-class luxury for up to seven adults. The dashboard is a digital marvel, featuring nearly 30 inches of combined panoramic displays, including dual 12.3-inch screens and a dedicated 5-inch climate display. For those brutal Detroit winters, standard heated and ventilated front seats keep you in the fight, while available second-row "Relaxation Seats" with power leg rests turn the back row into a mobile lounge. With a flat floor design and a massive 81.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats stowed, this cabin is built to haul everything from hockey gear to home renovation supplies without breaking a sweat.

Exterior

The 2026 EV9 commands the road with a bold, squared-off silhouette that looks like it was carved from a single block of granite. The new Nightfall Edition (available on Land AWD) brings a predatory edge to the lineup, featuring exclusive 20-inch Gloss Black wheels, a blacked-out grille, and dark-chrome accents that turn heads from Roseville to Royal Oak. Standard automatic flush door handles and the signature "Star Map" LED lighting ensure you slice through the air with a sleek 0.28 drag coefficient. Whether it's the 19-inch alloys on the Light trim or the aggressive 21-inch wheels on the GT-Line, the EV9 projects an image of modern strength that’s impossible to ignore.

Performance

Under the hood—or rather, under the floor—the 2026 EV9 packs a heavy-duty 99.8-kWh battery on Long Range models, delivering an EPA-estimated range of up to 305 miles. If you crave raw muscle, the dual-motor e-AWD configurations unleash 379 horsepower and a staggering 516 lb-ft of torque (with Boost Mode), enough to rocket this three-row giant from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. For the heavy-duty crowd, AWD models boast a 5,000-lb towing capacity, making it a viable tool for Michigan weekend escapes. Thanks to the 800V architecture, you can juice up from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes at a DC fast charger, getting you back on I-94 before the coffee gets cold.

Safety Features

A true warrior always watches its six, and the 2026 EV9 is an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ winner for a reason. It comes standard with a digital fortress of over 20 driver-assistance features, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 and a Surround View Monitor that gives you a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of your surroundings. The available Highway Driving Assist 2 provides hands-on-wheel steering assistance and automated lane changes, taking the stress out of a Detroit rush hour. Plus, with Remote Smart Parking Assist 2, you can guide this massive SUV into tight Roseville parking spots using just your key fob while standing safely on the sidewalk. It’s high-tech armor for your most precious cargo.
