EV9

Marking its third year of production, the 2026 Kia EV9 EV doesn't stray too far from the family-friendly, three-row formula that won hearts and minds from the get-go. We're not complaining, as its modern styling, comfortable and functional interior design, and claimed range of up to 304 miles make it a compelling choice at a competitive price in the growing mid-size battery-electric SUV segment. Available with either rear- or all-wheel drive and rated to tow up to 5000 pounds, it can accommodate a DC fast-charging speed of up to 230 kW. Speaking of charging, all 2026 EV9s will come equipped with the NACS (North American Charging Standard) port, though it'll include an adapter for the older CCS-style port, so buyers can stick with their preferred fast charger.
