The Kia EV9 boasts several technological breakthroughs, including the Highway Driving Pilot (HDP) system that enables conditional Level 3 autonomous driving in selected markets. It also features the Kia Connect Store, a feature that allows customers to purchase digital features and services on demand, providing flexibility and the ability to upgrade the vehicle's capabilities through over-the-air updates.
Kia's President and CEO, Ho Sung Song, has described the Kia EV9 as the pinnacle of Kia's design and engineering capabilities, transcending all aspects of traditional SUV thinking. The EV9 represents the brand's rapid transition to become a sustainable mobility solutions provider through its advanced EV architecture and the use of recycled and sustainable materials in its creation.
The EV9 has been designed with millennial families in mind, guided by the brand's 'Opposites United' design philosophy. Its unique natural and modern elements balance has led to a new SUV user experience. The vehicle's exterior exudes calmness, confidence, and clarity, displaying a bold and contemporary appearance while still maintaining its unique character.
