The EV9 has 20.2 cubic feet of cargo space when all three rows are elevated. Volume expands to 81.9 cubic feet when both rows of rear seats are folded. (Image: Kia)

The EV9 will be available in either gloss or factory matte paint finishes. The EV9 is precisely designed keeping in mind all the aspects including the numerous wheel options, which vary from 19 to 21 inches. The EV9 GT-Line features model-specific styling, higher roof rails9, and 21-inch special alloy wheels and tyres for a more design-driven appearance. (Image: Kia)

The EV9 will also be the first Kia model to offer vehicle system over-the-air updates, indicating a strategic shift towards software-defined vehicles, as well as navigation-based charging assistance based on estimated arrival time and distance-to-empty. Because of an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) and V2L13, the EV9 is designed to be a mobile power source. (Image: Kia)
