What happens when you take Kia's flagship electric SUV and give it the full GT treatment?
You get the Kia EV9 GT.
Combining the practicality, space and advanced electric technology of the EV9 with significantly enhanced performance and driving dynamics, the EV9 GT sits at the very top of Kia's electric SUV range.
It's big enough for family life, sophisticated enough for long-distance journeys and powerful enough to deliver genuinely exciting performance when the road opens up.
The EV9 GT features a powerful dual-motor electric powertrain delivering 502bhp and all-wheel drive.
The result is remarkable performance for a large electric SUV.
0–62mph takes just 4.6 seconds.
Instant electric torque provides strong acceleration whenever you need it, while the all-wheel-drive system helps deliver the power confidently to the road.
The EV9 GT also features a dedicated GT Mode, allowing the driver to access the car's maximum performance at the touch of a button.
The EV9 GT isn't simply an EV9 with more power.
Kia has introduced a range of chassis and performance technologies designed to give the GT its own driving character.
These include:
The Electronically Controlled Suspension continuously adapts damping to suit the driving conditions, helping balance everyday comfort with greater body control during more enthusiastic driving.
The electronic Limited-Slip Differential helps distribute torque between the wheels, improving traction and stability.
One of the EV9 GT's most unusual features is Kia's Virtual Gear Shift system.
Designed to make performance driving more engaging, it simulates the feel of changing gears in a traditional high-performance car.
Drivers can use the steering-wheel paddles to move through simulated gears, with the system adjusting acceleration and sound to create a more interactive driving experience.
Prefer traditional smooth EV acceleration? Simply switch the system off.
There should be no mistaking the EV9 GT for the regular model.
Distinctive GT design details give it a sportier appearance while retaining the EV9's bold, upright proportions.
Highlights include:
And yes – we think those neon green brake calipers deserve a mention. They're becoming something of a calling card for Kia's fastest electric models.
This is where the EV9 GT becomes particularly unusual.
Despite its performance credentials, it's still a genuinely practical family SUV.
The EV9 GT is available with a choice of six or seven seats, allowing you to select the configuration that best suits your family.
The seven-seat version provides a conventional three-row layout, while the six-seat model replaces the second-row bench with two individual seats.
That means you can have supercar-chasing acceleration and still take the family – and quite a lot of their luggage – with you.
Performance hasn't come at the expense of everyday usability.
The EV9 GT uses a large 99.8kWh battery, providing the capacity required for everyday driving and longer-distance journeys.
When it's time to recharge, Kia's advanced 800V electric architecture allows the EV9 GT to take advantage of ultra-fast DC charging.
Using a suitable high-powered rapid charger, the battery can be charged from 10–80% in approximately 24 minutes.
So while the EV9 GT may be capable of serious performance, it's equally capable of settling down for a long family journey.
Inside, the EV9 GT combines its sporting character with the technology and comfort expected from Kia's flagship electric SUV.
The panoramic digital display brings together:
Additional technology includes:
GT-specific displays and graphics help give the driver's environment a more performance-focused feel.
The EV9 GT may be the performance flagship, but it's still designed to work as an everyday car.
Its spacious cabin provides generous room across three rows, while premium seating and comfort features help make longer journeys more relaxing.
The flexible rear seating also means you can quickly prioritise passenger or luggage space depending on the journey.
It's this combination of performance and practicality that makes the EV9 GT particularly distinctive – you don't have to choose between an exciting electric car and a useful family SUV.
The EV9 GT also features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability.
This allows energy stored in the high-voltage battery to power compatible external electrical equipment.
From laptops and electrical devices to camping and leisure equipment, your EV9 GT can provide a useful portable source of power when you're away from home.
A comprehensive suite of driver-assistance systems provides additional reassurance on everyday journeys.
Technology includes features such as:
It's technology designed to make a large and powerful SUV easier to live with every day.
Despite its extraordinary performance, the EV9 GT still comes with one of Kia's biggest everyday advantages – the 7-year/100,000-mile warranty.
That provides valuable long-term reassurance whether you're new to electric driving or already an EV convert.
The Kia EV9 GT proves that practicality and performance don't have to be opposites.
With 502bhp, dual-motor all-wheel drive, 0–62mph in just 4.6 seconds and seating for six or seven, it combines serious electric performance with genuine family versatility.
Add GT-specific styling, advanced suspension technology and ultra-fast charging and the result is one of the most distinctive electric performance SUVs Kia has ever produced.

More and more motorists are choosing to drive electric and hybrid vehicles. As such, you’ll find plenty of charging points available across the UK, whether you’re in town, at work, or on the motorway.
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) at home is simple. You can either use a standard three-pin socket, or invest in a wallbox. The wallbox is a much faster solution, cutting charge times down by several hours. And with manufacturer deals or government incentives often available on wallboxes, it’s a cost-effective option too.
Many workplaces are starting to provide rapid-charging facilities for employees’ vehicles. Indeed, government help is available for businesses, such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which is provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEZ). If your workplace doesn’t yet have rapid charging, you can plug into a three-pin socket.
