According to foreign media reports, Kia has now started developing the Kia EV9 GT, which is a high-performance version of the Kia EV9 and is expected to be officially released in early 2025.
The new car will not have too obvious changes in appearance and interior compared to the Kia EV9, at most adding some aerodynamic kits to the body and exclusive logos to the interior; however, the power will be more outstanding.
Referring to the official diagram of the current Kia EV9, the front of the new car will adopt a closed grille design, and the front hatch is designed with raised rib lines on both sides, which has a strong sense of power; the headlight cluster adopts a vertical layout, and the internal integrated dot matrix LED light source is connected by the running daytime running lights, which effectively stretches the horizontal visual width of the front face.
The lower part of the envelope is equipped with polygonal air intakes, decorated with a semi-closed honeycomb structure inside, and small vertically arranged deflector slots are added on both sides, making the style seem more dominant.
As for the side shape, the roof line is relatively straight and equipped with a thick luggage rack, which has a strong sense of power; the roof also creates a suspended shape, which is more fashionable; the waistline adopts a through design, which makes the visual effect appear slender and atmospheric; the door handles adopt a pop-up design, which can play a role in slightly reducing wind resistance; the wheel brow part is equipped with a thick black trim plate, which effectively increases the The wheel hubs adopt a four-spoke low wind resistance shape, and the style is relatively simple.
In the rear, the roof is equipped with a small size spoiler, and the smoked taillight cluster adopts a vertical layout, which is very recognizable when lit.
Interior, the overall design style is relatively simple, equipped with a four-spoke multi-function steering wheel, through the dual-link screen and electronic pocket gear, the center console also has a strong sense of hierarchy.
In terms of power, according to the news, Kia EV9 GT should be equipped with a front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive system, with a combined maximum power of about 283kW and a peak torque of 600N-m, and a 100km acceleration time of about 5.3 seconds.
Such parameters actually do not have much advantage in the face of the new power models of independent brands, but considering that the Kia EV9 is a product with a hardcore orientation, it is not bad to have such performance.
