Ev9 we promised outstanding performance as we delivered with the kia ev6 for example it will travel 300 miles on a full charge and it will charge from 10 to 80 percent in 20 to 30 minutes but performance is only one part of the story we want to make a product that not only takes you to your destination but also creates meaningful human experiences we believe
Our collective efforts must have a positive impact on the world and the concept ev9 serves as a clear sign of kia’s commitment towards that sustainable future the world presents us with a multi-dimensional and rich balance of opposites and often contrasting concepts this idea is reflected in our design philosophy opposites united as for the concept ev9 we believe
The tension that lies between nature and machine can inspire us and lead us to a better and more sustainable way forward the concept ev9 is inspired by what we call bold for nature we’re not trying to superficially imitate nature but rather understand how it works and mimic its ways to create better products that enhance your quality of life our mission is to
Provide the most rewarding interactions with our customers from every point of view the concept ev9 fuses big suv attitude like the kia telluride with full ev credentials in the concept ev9 smooth soft surfaces are balanced by technical shear forms a soft and elegant treatment to the fuselage gives the concept ev9 a friendly warm and approachable demeanor at
The same time elevated angular fenders on the body rise up giving the concept ev9 a sharp strong presence high gloss cladding stands out next to the satin blue paint while geometric precise triangular forms give the vehicle a modern and capable character the concept ev9 welcomes you into a brilliant new future now as you approach the vehicle our signature tiger
Nose comes to life proudly telling the world this is a kia for a new era led lights form a star map pattern providing a sense of clarity and radiance at the start of any journey moving towards the rear of the of the vehicle unique led tail lights echo the star map that’s also at the front the taillight traced the vehicle’s wide and stable stance with its strong
Shoulders and very upright windows furthermore the large daylight opening of the panoramic skyroof gives passengers great views across day and night whether in the city or out in nature a solar panel built in the hood helps recharge your battery inside we craft and create interiors that innovate push boundaries and give you a first class lounge in which you
Can relax focus and be inspired these qualities have all been carried into the concept ev9 with an imposing and solid exterior and an open lightweight interior we believe we perfectly express our opposites united ethos the naturally integrated pop-up steering wheel and a 27-inch ultra-wide display provide all passengers with a broader sensory experience while on
The move now electrification offers the advantages of maintaining the in-vehicle experience not only in driving but also when the vehicle is stationary when the vehicle is on the move the concept ev9 is in what we call active mode but when it has come to a stop there are two modes to access pause mode and in joy mode in pause mode the second row seats fold and
Become a table creating a living space to gather and interact in enjoy mode the third row seat can be switched from front to back to see the outside the concept ev9 various seat modes are flexible and give the occupants new perspectives opposites united also encompasses a world of color and materials that are reflected in nature the concept ev9 was inspired by
The idea of water and we wanted the oceans to guide us and help us understand how to address our environmental responsibilities for example we use we are using recycled fishing nets for the flooring and seating fabric made from plastic bottles and recycled wool fibers for every design element we have strived to create a meaningful connection with nature and the
World around us so with the concept ev9 and the wave of eevee products to come we believe kia’s future is looking exceptionally bright all of us at kia invite you to join us on this exciting new and beautiful journey thank you
