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.
Configure the Air RWDIf you need seven seats, want to go electric and still have a van or boat to pull, the 2026 Kia EV9 Earth AWD is built for that job. It's a big electric SUV with drive to all four wheels, priced at $106,500 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs. It's rated at 512km (WLTP) from a 99.8kWh battery, with energy use of 22.3kWh/100km. DC fast charging peaks at 240kW. Boot space with all the seats up is 333 litres, so a full load of people leaves limited room for bags. Towing is rated at 2,500kg braked.
Configure the Earth AWDAt $121,000 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs, the 2026 Kia EV9 GT-Line AWD is a 7-seat electric SUV with all-wheel drive. It has a claimed 505km (WLTP) range from a 99.8kWh battery, and DC fast charging peaks at 240kW. Boot space with all seats up is 333 litres, so a third row full of people leaves room for a modest load rather than a big one. It's rated to tow 2,500kg braked. It suits a larger family wanting seven seats in an EV with a decent towing rating.
Configure the GT-Line AWDThe 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.
