Kia has been conducting the final intensive testing program of the Kia EV9 ahead of its world debut in 2023.

Kia EV9 will become the brand’s flagship model and will revolutionize the large electric SUV segment, while accelerating Kia’s brand transformation and affirming its leadership in sustainable electric mobility.
 

Developed over a period of 44 months, every facet of the EV9 is currently being pushed to the limits of durability at Kia’s global Namyang R&D center in Korea.
 

During this final testing phase, the EV9 is relentlessly subjected to a grueling verification program on a 4WD climbing hill and a rough terrain track, as well as a deep-water wading test, to ensure maximum reliability even in the most challenging conditions.
 

Kia’s high-speed, handling, and low-friction tracks place every element of the EV9’s performance and roadholding under the strictest scrutiny. At the same time, the unforgiving cobbles of the Belgian road enable Kia’s engineers to subject the EV9’s ride comfort and build quality to the harshest possible trials.
 

In addition to the test program at Namyang R&D center the EV9 has also been subjected to a punishing testing regimen in locations all over the globe.
 

Kia first gave the world a preview of its newest flagship model in the form of the Kia Concept EV9, unveiled at AutoMobility LA in Los Angeles last year.
