Choosing the right trim for a three-row electric SUV can make a big difference in how you enjoy your daily drives around Hamilton. The 2026 Kia EV9 lineup is built to offer variety, giving drivers four trims that balance performance, comfort, technology, and value in different ways. Whether your priorities lean toward long-range capability, all-weather traction, towing strength, or elevated luxury, the EV9 lineup has something that fits seamlessly into your routine. Below is a refreshed and easy-to-digest look at how each trim stands apart.
The EV9 Light AWD is designed to give drivers an approachable entry point into the world of three-row electric SUVs while still delivering a well-rounded set of features. Powered by a 76.1-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion polymer battery and a permanent magnet synchronous motor, the Light AWD generates 215 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. With an estimated 370 kilometres of all-electric driving range, this model is well suited for weekday commutes, school runs, and stress-free trips across Hamilton, Ontario.
Charging is equally convenient thanks to compatibility with both 400-volt and 800-volt fast-charging systems, helping you get back on the road quickly at compatible stations. Inside, the cabin is set up for comfort with seating for seven, artificial leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and 8-way power-adjustable front seating. Dual 12.3-inch displays, tri-zone climate control, and a generous cargo area round out the experience.
The Light AWD also brings advanced safety right from the start with Highway Driving Assist 2, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist, and eight airbags. With a 2,000-lb towing capacity when properly equipped, it already offers solid capability for weekend excursions.
Drivers who want to maximize driving range often gravitate toward the Wind RWD. This trim replaces the battery with a larger 99.8-kilowatt-hour pack, extending estimated range to an impressive 491 kilometres. The Wind produces 201 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, keeping everyday driving smooth and predictable.
Beyond the range boost, the Wind RWD adds a heat pump to support efficiency during colder Ontario winters and includes a heated steering wheel for added comfort on chilly mornings. Many of the convenience features from the Light carry over, including wireless charging, digital key functionality, the dual-screen display system, and spacious three-row seating. It’s an excellent choice for families who take frequent road trips or want fewer charging stops throughout the week.
The Land AWD trim raises the bar with significant jumps in power and capability. A dual-motor all-wheel drive system with a performance boost function delivers 379 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, giving the EV9 noticeably stronger acceleration and confident handling in all conditions.
For drivers who enjoy camping, boating, or hauling equipment, the Land AWD increases towing strength to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped. It still uses the same 99.8-kilowatt-hour battery but offers an estimated 455-kilometre driving range, balancing both performance and endurance.
Terrain drive modes are added for improved control on gravel, snow, or uneven surfaces, and exterior enhancements like silver roof rails and mud guards add both visual appeal and practicality. Inside, familiar features remain, including artificial leather seating, the dual-display setup, smart power liftgate, and a spacious interior designed for growing families.
At the top of the lineup sits the EV9 GT, engineered for drivers who want maximum strength and the highest level of refinement. This trim uses dual motors to produce an impressive 502 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque, placing it among the most powerful electric SUVs with three rows.
The GT also features upgraded hardware such as monoblock front calipers, larger rotors, preview ECS, an electronic limited-slip differential, and unique 21-inch GT wheels paired with performance tires. The exterior gets GT-Line styling cues, laminated door glass, small cube LED headlamps, and black garnishes that create a bold and distinctive look.
Inside, the GT offers a premium six-passenger layout with GT bucket seats, power relaxation seating, a suede headliner, ambient lighting, heated and ventilated second-row seats, and exclusive GT trim details with lime stitching. Technology takes a major step up as well, featuring a Meridian 14-speaker premium audio system, a head-up display, surround-view monitor, blind view monitor, and additional USB ports throughout the cabin. With a 5,000-lb towing capacity when properly equipped and an estimated 418-kilometre driving range, the GT delivers high-end performance without sacrificing practicality.
