The EV9 redefines what a family SUV can be, blending style and space with electric efficiency.

Spacious third row is usable · Impressive fast-charging capability
Base model lacks sufficient range · Touch controls can be distracting

The 2026 Kia EV9 is a bold statement in the electric SUV market, offering a spacious three-row layout with a premium feel. What sets the EV9 apart is its ability to combine cutting-edge tech with practicality, making it a compelling choice for families who refuse to compromise on style or functionality. We were pleasantly surprised by its smooth and quiet highway manners, a testament to its well-engineered electric drivetrain. However, the base model's range leaves room for improvement, and some cabin controls feel overly reliant on touch, which can be a distraction. This SUV is ideal for tech-savvy families who value space and are ready to embrace the electric future.

Our pick: Wind ($65,395)
vs. 2026 Tesla Model Y: The EV9 offers more space and a premium interior compared to the Model Y.
