2026 Kia EV9
This is Kia’s electric flagship with three rows — seating for as many as 7, an EPA-estimated range topping out at 305 miles, and real towing muscle spanning the budget-minded Light clear up to the sport-styled GT-Line. Every EV9 sold at Dean McCrary Kia Hattiesburg comes with upfront pricing and factory warranty.
Awards & Accolades
This isn't a vehicle that collects trophies by accident — global judging panels, crash-test engineers, and buyer's-guide editors keep landing on the same conclusion.

98 journalists representing 30 countries named the EV9 2024's World Car of the Year, Kia's second time claiming that title.

Best Buy — Best 3-Row Electric Vehicle

Best Midsize Electric SUV for the Money

Factory Warranty, Included

The Full Price Ladder
Here's a fast rundown of where each 2026 EV9 trim starts, running from budget-friendly Light up to flagship GT-Line.
2026 EV9 — RWD MSRP*
A single motor drives both rear-drive trims — move up to Light Long Range and its bigger battery pack makes it the longest-range EV9 you can buy.
2026 EV9 — Dual-Motor AWD MSRP*
Wind, Land, and GT-Line each get the same dual-motor, standard-AWD setup, engineered for genuine towing work.
Range, Charging & Towing
There are two batteries and two drivetrain layouts to pick from, though 800V-class charging hardware comes standard no matter which 2026 EV9 you choose.
76.1 kWh — Light (RWD)
Light's base configuration: room for seven, powered by a single motor turning the rear wheels.
99.8 kWh — Long Range / AWD
RWD Light Long Range tops the chart at 305 mi; AWD Wind and Land settle at 283 mi; AWD GT-Line comes in slightly lower at 280 mi. Adding the optional tow package to any AWD trim pushes towing capacity up to 5,000 lb.
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.
