The EV9 GT will also come as standard with a vehicle-to-load function, meaning you can plug an electronic appliance into the car and it be powered using the vehicle’s battery pack.

On the outside, there are features such as a digital lighting grille, 21-inch alloy wheels and neon green front brake calipers with GT lettering. Meanwhile, on the inside the neon green theme continues onto the GT sports steering wheel and sports seats which are also trimmed with Alcantara suede inserts with an embossed GT logo.placeholder image

Marc Hedrich, president and CEO at Kia Europe, said: “The EV9 GT offers an exhilarating-to-drive factor with comfort and enjoyment for everyone on board while keeping the versatility to take everything with you. We have taken the basis of the best car in the world and developed a stand-alone, high-performance version that will turn heads everywhere it goes.”

Kia has yet to reveal the prices for the EV9 GT, but expect to pay a premium over the standard EV9 GT-Line S at just over £77,000. Order books will open in 2025.
