Kia has replaced the concept’s massive wraparound display with two 12.3-inch screens for the gauge cluster and infotainment system upfront. The number of physical buttons on the dash has been reduced, and touch-sensitive dash controls have been added. The interior design incorporates mesh and other materials to increase the sense of space.
Up until the vehicle’s official unveiling in early April, other information, such as infotainment system features, is being kept under wraps. We do know that it will be built on the E-GMP platform used by the EV6, but Kia has yet to reveal anything about the EV9’s power, battery size, range, or price. With the EV6 starting at around $45,000, the EV9 is likely to be significantly more expensive — but, as we’ve seen with Kia, it’s likely to be affordable for its category.
