2026 Kia EV9

With so many EVs for sale, we felt it important to highlight our top picks for several specific types of vehicle, including two- and three-row SUVs, cars and luxury vehicles.

Entering its third model year on sale, the Kia EV9 gets a little more range and a new Nightfall Edition but is otherwise unchanged for 2026.

Whether you’re looking at a practical EV, a rugged SUV or even a wagon, this year’s New York International Auto Show packs an impressive variety of new-car reveals and refreshes.

Introduced at the New York International Auto Show, the 2026 EV9 Nightfall Edition applies the established pattern of visual tweaks to Kia’s largest EV.

Kia EV9 drivers can start to realize the potential of their vehicle’s battery with a new vehicle-to-home (V2H) charger from Wallbox.

While it looks largely the same as the existing EV9, the GT packs an estimated 501 horsepower, which Kia says will fling the three-row electric SUV from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds.
