Adventure Ready & Sport Styled

EV9 Land & GT-Line

These are two takes on "flagship," and both run dual-motor AWD. Import tariffs on its Korea-built components have kept the high-performance EV9 GT off American shores indefinitely, which makes Land and GT-Line the halo trims actually available to drive home right now.

2026 EV9 FAQs

How Much Does the 2026 Kia EV9 Cost?

The 2026 EV9 ranges from $54,900 MSRP for the Light RWD to $71,900 for the range-topping GT-Line AWD, not counting the $1,645 destination charge. For actual transaction pricing once current offers are applied, check live EV9 inventory.

What’s New on the 2026 EV9?

For year three, the EV9 is largely unchanged apart from range gains spread across several trims: Light Long Range now hits an estimated 305 miles, while Wind and Land climb to 283 miles and GT-Line reaches 280. Kia also rolled out a free Nightfall Edition for the Land AWD trim, bringing gloss-black wheels, badging, and trim in either 6- or 7-passenger seating.

Is There a 2026 Kia EV9 GT?

Not right now — the high-performance EV9 GT remains off Kia's U.S. launch calendar indefinitely, as its Korea-built motors and trim still face import tariffs even under a reduced U.S.-Korea trade rate. Until that shifts, the Georgia-built GT-Line remains the sportiest EV9 actually available to buy.

How Much Can the 2026 EV9 Tow?

The AWD trims (Wind, Land, GT-Line) are rated to tow 3,500 pounds standard, climbing to 5,000 pounds with a braked trailer and the optional tow package. RWD trims (Light, Light Long Range) top out at 2,000 pounds. Without trailer brakes, every EV9 configuration is limited to roughly 1,653 pounds.
