The EV9 GT’s lighting concept delivers in both style and substance. The small cube projection headlamps are underlined by the new digital lighting grille featuring an animated light signature for guaranteed impact on first sight. Five additional patterns for the digital lighting grille are available via Kia Upgrades and an Intelligent Front Lighting System for greater control driving at night.

In the GT cockpit, the infotainment system also delivers some extras, including a special cluster theme designed exclusively for the GT variant, with a performance timer to track acceleration (0–62 mp/h) and measure 200m and 400m drag times.

All senses engaged. The EV9 GT introduces Virtual Gear Shift (VGS), an innovative feature that simulates the sensation of an 8-speed transmission. It delivers tactile feedback and engine-like sound from the Electric Active Sound Design (E-ASD) feature, bringing the familiar rhythm of gear changes to electric driving.
Whether accelerating on open roads or navigating twisty routes, VGS adds a dynamic, performance-inspired layer that connects you more deeply to the drive—blending the excitement of traditional combustion engine cars with cutting-edge EV technology.

Thanks to an advanced e-LSD (Electronic Limited Slip Differential) that distributes torque between the rear axle wheels, you can look forward to enhanced handling and traction for a safer, more enjoyable experience behind the wheel.

Feel the thrill of Gran Turismo driving, with an increased power output compared to the EV9 GT-line, delivering a total of 502 horsepower and accelerating from 0 to 62 mp/h in just 4.6 seconds. Press the neon GT Drive Mode button on the steering wheel to unleash 100% of the GT powertrain’s dynamic potential.

The EV9 GT is the first Kia model to feature an Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview. This advanced technology uses data from the front camera and navigation system to anticipate upcoming road conditions and automatically adjusts the suspension settings in real time. It ensures a smoother, more stable drive by minimising jolts and maintaining optimum control, especially on uneven or unpredictable road surfaces.
