Kia has revealed more details and new pictures of the Kia EV9, its seven-seat electric flagship SUV which will arrive in the UK later this year.

The ‘GT-Line’ model, seen in these pictures for the first time, will feature a number of design tweaks when compared to the EV9 Baseline model previously shown. The front and rear bumpers, wheels, and roof rack have all changed with a more distinctive black colour palette.

New data shows the EV9 has a targeted range of 336 miles from a 99.8kWh battery. The ultra-fast 800-volt charging capability enables the EV9 pack to be replenished with sufficient charge to power the vehicle for about 150 miles in around 15 minutes.

It also introduces the controversial Kia Connect Store, which will make customers purchase features and services via subscription, including performance upgrades. These will then be downloadable Over the Air.

With an overall length of 5,010 mm, 1,980mm wide and 1,755mm tall, making it taller in every direction than a Sorento.

A 76.1kWh battery is offered exclusively with the Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) Standard model, while a 99.8-kWh battery is fitted in both the Long Range and All Wheel Drive variants.

The RWD Long Range model utilises a 201bhp electric motor giving a 9.4 second 0-62 time. Also powered by a single electric motor, albeit a more powerful 215bhp variant, the Standard RWD EV9 can accelerate from to 62 in 8.2 seconds.

The AWD variant is equipped with two electric motors that together produce an output of 380bhp, giving a 6.0 second 0-62mph time. Even greater levels of performance are available with an optional Boost feature, available to buy from the Kia Connect Store.

The EV9 comes with standard Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, enabling the discharging of energy from the vehicle battery at up to 3.68 kW. Via the Kia Connect Store, customers will be able to add Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) compatibility to sell electricity back to the grid.

Many of the features will be available to buy over the air form a digital 'store'.
