The 2026 Kia EV9 Air RWD is the entry grade of Kia's three-row electric SUV, and it suits families who want seven real seats and a quiet, cheap-to-run drivetrain. The single rear motor makes 160kW and 350Nm, and the 76.1kWh battery is rated at 443km WLTP combined at 19.5kWh/100km. Boot space runs from 333 litres behind the third row to 828 with it folded and 2,318 with only the front seats in use. The number to check before you buy is towing: the rear-drive Air is rated at 900kg braked, where the dual-motor grades tow 2,500kg, so caravan buyers need to step up to an AWD.

The 2026 Kia EV9 Earth AWD is a three-row electric SUV that suits families needing seven genuine seats and practical electric motoring, with its 519km driving range covering most Australian daily commutes and road trips comfortably. Its standout strength is the combination of 283kW and 700Nm torque delivering responsive performance, paired with 2500kg towing capacity-rare for an electric SUV in this category-and comprehensive peace-of-mind coverage including a seven-year warranty and five-star ANCAP safety rating. The main consideration is the 333-litre boot space, which is modest when all seven seats are occupied, so buyers regularly carrying bulky cargo with full occupancy should test the configuration beforehand.

The 2026 Kia EV9 GT-Line AWD is a three-row electric SUV that suits families needing seven seats and genuine towing capacity, offering 283kW, 700Nm, a 519km driving range, and 2500kg towing capability backed by a seven-year warranty. Its standout strength is the combination of practicality-333 litres of boot space plus 5-star ANCAP safety-with genuine performance and an estimated $1677 annual running cost that significantly undercuts petrol equivalents. The main consideration is that at 2636kg, charging infrastructure and trip planning remain critical, particularly for regional Australian travel beyond its claimed range.

The Kia EV9 GT is the flagship performance variant of Kia's seven-seat (here six-seat) electric SUV, and at $129,250 before on-road costs it is the most expensive Kia ever sold in Australia. A retuned dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup lifts outputs to 374kW and 740Nm, enough to fire the 2.7-tonne SUV from 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds, making it the quickest seven-seat-platform vehicle on sale here. It keeps the 99.8kWh battery and 510km WLTP range of the GT-Line, plus 240kW DC fast charging for a 10-80% top-up in around 24 minutes. The GT adds Electronic Controlled Suspension tuned through a local ride-and-handling program, 21-inch alloys, a digital LED grille and second-row captain's chairs with massage. It is configured as a six-seater in Australia and retains the EV9's 2500kg braked towing capacity.
