Kia Corporation unveiled a set of video clips on 2 March to tease its highly anticipated Kia EV9, the brand’s dedicated battery electric SUV.
The teaser video showcases a silhouette of the flagship SUV model, featuring its prominent front and sleek body surfaces. The striking lighting patterns created by the front and rear lamps complete the EV9’s bold identity. The video clips also preview the Kia EV9’s unique blend of sleek and sculptural design and confident and assertive geometry.
The name, EV9, comes from Kia's EV nomenclature, pairing the prefix ‘EV’ (electric vehicle) with the number ‘9’ (nine), which represents the model’s segment among Kia’s dedicated electric vehicle line-up. Like the Kia EV6, the Kia EV9 is built upon the company’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP).
Kia will fully reveal both the exterior and interior design in mid-March, and the product information will be fully disclosed during the Kia EV9 World Premiere in late March.

The European automotive industry stands at a critical juncture. Fresh results from the EY research firm reveal that electric vehicles will capture over half of new light vehicle sales across Europe by 2032, marking a seismic shift in consumer preferences and industrial priorities.
Electric vehicles are older than many people realise. In the late nineteenth century, battery electric cars were common in cities because they were quiet, clean and easy to drive compared to petrol cars that needed hand cranking.
