The Kia EV9 GT, the most well liked member of the Korean model’s full-size electrical SUV lineup, will put on a price ticket of $129,250 earlier than on-road prices.
That makes the efficiency electrical SUV the model’s most costly automobile but.
Arriving in showrooms “imminently”, the GT will sit atop the present rear-wheel drive Air and all-wheel drive Earth and GT-Line variants, for which pricing is unchanged.
It’s $8250 dearer than the GT-Line however produces 374kW of energy and 740Nm of torque – up 91.4kW and 40Nm – with Kia claiming a 0-100km/h time of 4.5 seconds, 0.8 seconds faster than the GT-Line.

In comparison with the GT-Line, with which it shares its 99.8kWh Lengthy Vary battery, it ekes out an additional 5km of electrical vary beneath the WLTP cycle at 510km.
Along with extra grunt and barely extra vary, the GT options electronically managed suspension – with a localised journey and dealing with tune – in addition to upgraded brakes and an digital limited-slip differential.
It’s distinguished externally by a digital LED grille with Kia’s ‘Star Map’ lighting, plus gloss-black 21-inch alloy wheels, behind which sit lime inexperienced brake calipers.
Inside, there are commonplace second-row leisure seats – changing the bench present in different EV9s – plus Alcantara inserts and varied lime-green accents to match the brake calipers.
The EV9 GT was revealed again in November 2024, a yr after the usual EV9 was launched in Australia, and was initially confirmed for a neighborhood launch within the second half of 2025.
Maybe surprisingly, there’s been little or no exercise within the giant, three-row electrical SUV section for the reason that EV9 launched over a yr in the past.
It joined the way more costly Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, which had arrived round a yr prior. The EV9’s Hyundai cousin, the Ioniq 9, was launched in 2025, and the Cadillac Vistiq is due right here this yr.
