Kia has revealed its EV strategy for the Indian market. The South Korean carmaker will adopt a top-down strategy starting with the launch of the EV9 electric SUV next year. This was announced by Tae Jin Park, CEO, Kia India, during a recent media interaction.



The Kia EV9 was unveiled in March this year. It is the brand's flagship EV that is based on the E-GMP platform. The SUV features a sharp-looking front fascia with a blanked-off grille and a vertical LED headlamp with integrated LED daytime running lights. It has similar LED tail lights, flush-fitting door handles and squared-off wheel arches sporting 21-inch wheels instead of the concept’s 23-inch alloys.



The EV9 is a 3-row SUV featuring a modern and futuristic interior. The dashboard has a clean design with a 4-spoke steering wheel and a large screen that houses the digital instrument cluster and the touchscreen infotainment system.

Kia offers the EV9 with three powertrain options. The EV9 RWD uses a single 215 BHP motor and a 76.1 kWh battery, offering a range of 358 km. The long-range variant comes with a 99.8 kWh battery offering 541 km of range. The SUV also comes with a dual-motor setup with a combined output of 380 BHP.

I absolutely love the way the EV6 looks. I feel like if IONIQ didn't exist, it'd do pretty well.
