As part of its upcoming campaign “Here to reshape the way we move”<\/strong>, Kia <\/strong>offered an “appetizer” of its first electric SUV, the EV9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company presented the exterior and interior design of the car, which blends elegance and comfort. It is built on the Electric Global Modular Platform<\/strong> (E-GMP), which allows for a long wheelbase and a completely flat architecture for ample interior space for up to six or seven passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kia’s EV9 <\/strong>is based on the “Opposites Unite Opposites<\/strong>” philosophy, which combines the opposing values of nature and modernity to create a harmonious whole. The designers integrated sleek, sculptural forms with firm geometry to create a contemporary SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of the EV9<\/strong>, the premise “Boldness by Nature<\/strong>” has been key to the vehicle’s exterior design, inspired by the interplay between natural elements and materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The front design of Kia’s EV9<\/strong> stands out for its defined lines and surfaces that convey confidence, clarity and tranquility. The body-colored grille accentuates the evolution of the characteristic “Tiger Face<\/strong>“, making its origin clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vertical light clusters and slim daytime running lights emphasize the SUV’s visual width, while gloss black air intakes and robust underride protection enhance its ability to cope with a variety of road and weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rear end has a simple, clean design that reflects the vehicle’s assertiveness and safety. In addition, the rear light clusters have a similar design to the front lights, adding an elegant touch to the overall package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On board, the EV9 <\/strong>features an enlarged high-definition in-car display for AVNT <\/strong>systems, providing an immersive experience that enhances the occupants’ interaction with the digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, hidden touch buttons that control functions such as start are located below the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kia EV9 will be unveiled globally in late March<\/strong>, and full details will be released during the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
