The Kia Concept EV9 is an all-electric SUV that was just unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show. What sets it apart from the others is the interior, which draws inspiration from the ‘Water Element’ of Opposites United, the automaker’s groundbreaking new design language.
It has been developed and optimized on the company’s advanced Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). Aesthetically, the exterior sports a modernistic angular profile that helps outline a three-row SUV footprint, making it not only highly capable, but also practical. Step inside, and the first thing you’ll notice is a massive 27-inch ultra-wide display that is the centerpiece for the driver and passenger. One other interesting feature is its pop-up steering pad, which will hopefully make it to production. Expect it to hit showrooms some time in 2024.
