Kia EV9 GT Arrives in the UK: High-Performance Electric SUV Redefines Grand Touring
Kia Unveils UK Specification for EV9 GT: The Ultimate Expression of Electric Grand Touring
Kia has officially announced UK specifications for the EV9 GT – the most powerful and technologically advanced version of its award-winning electric SUV. First revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the EV9 GT redefines what a large electric SUV can be, combining exhilarating performance with luxurious comfort and cutting-edge design.
Built for drivers who demand more than just speed, the EV9 GT showcases Kia’s vision of electric grand touring. With up to 280 miles of range from its advanced 99.8kWh battery pack and ultra-fast 800V charging technology that enables a 10-80% top-up in just 24 minutes, the EV9 GT is ready for long-distance, high-performance journeys.
Delivering an impressive 502hp and 546lb-ft of torque, the all-wheel-drive EV9 GT accelerates from 0 to 62mph in just 4.6 seconds, while an electronically controlled limited-slip differential ensures confident traction across varying conditions. The top speed reaches 136mph, all managed with stability and control thanks to the EV9 GT’s electronically adjustable suspension and Road Preview System, which scans and reacts to road surfaces in real-time.
The GT experience is not just about power – it’s also about presence. A bespoke digital front grille with a unique LED light signature, bold 21-inch GT alloy wheels, and signature neon green brake calipers set the EV9 GT apart on the road. Inside, the sense of performance luxury continues with artificial leather and suede upholstery featuring neon green stitching, complemented by a sports steering wheel and dedicated GT drive mode selector.
Whether you choose the six-seat layout with second-row relaxation seats and sliding console table, or the seven-seat configuration for maximum passenger flexibility, the EV9 GT makes every journey an occasion. A panoramic front sunroof enhances the open, spacious cabin, while a 14-speaker Meridian® Premium Sound System with Active Sound Design elevates every soundtrack.
The EV9 GT’s digital cockpit is both innovative and intuitive, with a customisable head-up display, wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, and a wireless phone charger as standard.
True to Kia’s commitment to peace of mind, the EV9 GT is backed by a comprehensive seven-year/100,000-mile vehicle warranty and an eight-year battery warranty, ensuring confidence with every drive.
Embodying Kia’s “Opposites United” design philosophy, the EV9 GT fuses bold aesthetics, human-centered innovation and exhilarating dynamics – delivering a new take on electric Gran Turismo.
