Kia EV9
Like it or hate it, the all-new EV9 is a boldly styled electric SUV. Amazingly, the boxy exterior has a drag coefficient of just 0.28. Two configurations are available: single motor and rear-wheel drive (201-215 horsepower, 370-489 km of range) or dual motors and all-wheel drive (379 horsepower, 435-451 km of range). A more powerful GT model is coming for 2025. The EV9 interior offers very generous space for occupants.
