Discover the 2025 Kia EV9 at Kia Country

The 2025 Kia EV9 is Kia’s bold leap forward in electric SUVs, combining spacious design, advanced technology, and long-range capability in a sleek, modern package. As a three-row SUV, the EV9 answers the growing demand for larger EVs, offering impressive interior room—first- and second-row passengers enjoy generous headroom and legroom, while the cabin accommodates six or seven occupants comfortably. Behind the third row, 20.2 cubic feet of cargo space provides flexibility for gear, luggage, or weekend adventures. Its nearly 17-foot wheelbase creates an open, airy cabin, and with rear-wheel and all-wheel drive options, drivers can select the setup that best fits their needs. The EV9 is powered by either a 76.1-kWh or 99.8-kWh battery, delivering up to an estimated 304 miles of range. A robust 5,000-pound towing capacity further underscores its versatility for trips that require extra capability. Available trims—Light, Light Long Range, Wind, Land, and the high-performance GT-Line—ensure there’s an EV9 to match a variety of lifestyles. With its combination of range, comfort, and functionality, the 2025 Kia EV9 has quickly become a standout choice for drivers in Manteca, Modesto, Tracy, and Stockton who want a modern, capable electric SUV.

Performance and Battery Specs

The 2025 Kia EV9 sets a high bar for electric SUVs.Its fourth-generation battery technology maximizes energy density, delivering longer range and more responsive driving dynamics. Drivers can choose between two battery options: a standard 76.1-kWh pack or a larger 99.8-kWh pack that powers most trims for extended range and versatility. The Light trim pairs the 76.1-kWh battery with a 215-horsepower rear-wheel-drive motor, while other RWD models with the larger battery provide 201 horsepower—perfectly suited for smooth city commutes and highway cruising. For a more commanding presence on the road, the dual-motor all-wheel-drive system in the Wind and Land trims generates 379 horsepower. The GT-Line takes it further, delivering the same 379 horsepower but adding 516 lb-ft of torque for thrilling acceleration that makes every drive memorable. To fine-tune performance for any situation, the EV9 offers multiple drive modes—Efficiency, Normal, Sport, Snow, and a customizable fifth mode. Each adjusts throttle response, steering feel, and even cabin comfort, balancing precision and range optimization. Whether tackling tight city streets or long weekend trips to Manteca, Modesto, Tracy, or Stockton, the 2025 EV9 offers an exhilarating yet practical driving experience that stands out in the growing electric SUV market.

Range and Charging Time

The 2025 Kia EV9 delivers impressive range and fast-charging capabilities that make longer trips easier than ever. Range varies by trim and drivetrain: the single-motor RWD Light trim reaches an estimated 230 miles, while the Light Long Range model with its larger 99.8-kWh battery extends that range to an impressive 304 miles. Dual-motor AWD trims, including the Wind and Land, achieve around 280 miles, and the performance-oriented GT-Line offers approximately 270 miles due to its larger wheels and tuned performance. Charging is equally convenient thanks to the EV9’s dual 400V/800V architecture. With ultra-fast DC charging, the EV9 can go from 10% to 80% in about 24 minutes at peak 210 kW speeds. The smaller-battery Light trim charges even faster—reaching 80% in roughly 20 minutes when connected to a 235 kW DC station. At home, all EV9 models come with a 10.9 kW onboard charger for Level 2 setups, allowing the Light trim to fully recharge in under 7 hours and larger-battery models in under 9 hours. Whether you’re commuting in Manteca, heading to Modesto, or planning a weekend getaway to Tracy or Stockton, the 2025 Kia EV9 makes long drives and daily charging effortless, combining impressive range with flexible, fast-charging options for any lifestyle.

Trim Options

The 2025 Kia EV9 is available in five thoughtfully designed trims, each combining advanced technology, comfort, and capability. With both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive options, there’s a setup to suit a wide range of drivers in Manteca, Modesto, Tracy, and Stockton. All AWD trims come standard with the long-range battery for extended performance, making it easy to find an EV9 that matches your lifestyle. The entry-level Light trim offers a single-motor RWD setup packed with premium touches. Inside, heated and ventilated power front seats, eco-friendly upholstery, and three-zone climate control provide comfort for all passengers. The cabin is tech-forward, featuring dual 12.3-inch displays, a separate 5-inch climate screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, and Kia’s Digital Key system. Outside, 19-inch alloy wheels, slim LED lighting, power-folding heated mirrors, and flush door handles add both style and practicality. Moving up to the Light Long Range, the larger battery extends range for longer trips and introduces second-row captain’s chairs in a six-passenger layout. Convenience features like a HomeLink-equipped auto-dimming rearview mirror enhance everyday usability. The Wind trim adds dual-motor AWD for extra power and control, along with flush roof rails, a heated steering wheel, a dual-panel sunroof, and a heat pump to optimize climate control efficiency. Stepping into Land elevates both luxury and technology: a programmable digital grille, 20-inch alloy wheels, gloss-black exterior trim, and acoustic rear glass create a refined exterior. Inside, enjoy heated and ventilated seating, a 14-speaker Meridian sound system, ambient lighting, rear sunshades, a unique drawer-style glove box, and a vehicle-to-load (V2L) system for powering small appliances directly from the EV9’s battery. At the top of the lineup, the GT-Line emphasizes performance and design. Building on the Land trim, it adds massaging front seats with power leg extensions, 21-inch wheels, a self-leveling rear suspension, raised black roof rails, and Kia’s Remote Smart Parking Assist—offering a driving experience that is both exhilarating and luxurious.
