EV9 99.8 kWh RWD (MY24-27)

The Kia EV9 99.8 kWh RWD (MY24-27) is a 7-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £66,645. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.4 seconds, slower than 86% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 280 miles (450 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 59% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 82nd of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 2.9 mi/kWh (213 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 96 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 196 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 312 miles (502 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £238 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £25,300–£28,000 and a 2025 one at £38,000–£43,300, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 263 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
