Boasting an impressive 368kW and 700Nm output from a dual-motor setup, the GT model is positioned as the flagship in the EV9 lineup, featuring advanced performance capabilities and a temporary boost mode that spikes torque to 800Nm for rapid acceleration. With a 0-100km/h time of just 4.3 seconds, the EV9 GT promises a thrilling driving experience.
Based on Kia’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and equipped with an 800V electrical architecture, the EV9 GT integrates cutting-edge technology to support fast charging. While specific range details are yet to be revealed, similar models on the platform offer impressive driving ranges exceeding 500km, ensuring practicality and convenience for electric vehicle users.
Powering the EV9 GT are two electric motors, with the front unit producing 160kW and the rear generating 270kW, resulting in a combined output of 374kW. The model features chassis enhancements including an electronic limited-slip differential, electronically controlled dampers, and adaptive settings tailored for high-performance driving.
