7 pure electric SUV Kia EV9 official picture announced: retain some physical buttons, using 800V architecture
CTOnews.com March 15 news, today Kia released the official rendering of the EV9 production car, now let's take a look at the elegant demeanour of Kia EV9.
The new car adopts 7-seat layout and locates the pure electric SUV model, which continues the design language of the concept car. The shape of the whole car is very square, and its headlights and taillights do not adopt through-type design, but adopt a unique special-shaped shape, which makes it look and feel more individual.
In terms of interior decoration, the second-row seats of the new car can be rotated to the front of the door to facilitate passengers with leg difficulties to get on and off, and it can also rotate 180 °backward to facilitate communication between the second and third rows of passengers. In addition, the vehicle central control area adopts a double screen layout, and some physical buttons are retained.
It is reported that the car, which is based on the E-GMP pure electric platform, will reveal detailed parameters such as power at the end of March, and is scheduled to be officially launched in the second half of the year, when CTOnews.com will bring more reports. According to the information previously exposed, the new car will support 400V and 800V architectures, with single-motor and dual-motor versions.
Kia also announced that it will launch two pure electric models, the EV6 and EV5, in China this year, and plans to introduce six electric models based on the E-GMP platform by 2027.
Kia has previously confirmed that the car will be first launched in the European market next year. It is reported that the platform is an 800V pure electric vehicle architecture, which can charge up to 350kW and can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in 20-30 minutes.
Kia EV9 front face is very rich, "KIA" logo is located at the top of the front grille, with vertical and point layout of LED headlights, the lighting effect is very unique, LED taillights use three-pronged shape, depending on the model, will also carry traditional glass rearview mirrors and electronic virtual rearview mirrors.
The mass production version of EV9 uses a large number of concept car designs that were unveiled two years ago, and the special-shaped headlights on both sides with matrix light sources can attract attention and give the new car a sense of the future. In addition, the enclosed front grille also brings a strong style, and it is suspected to be equipped with a vent design above the grille, which may provide some help for heat dissipation and wind resistance.
The opposite door and digital virtual rearview mirror used in the concept car do not appear in the mass production model, leaving only the hidden door handle which is helpful to aerodynamics, which can create a smooth body surface to reduce the resistance when traveling.
The rear part of the new car uses a fairly recognizable light-guided LED taillight with a three-pronged shape to create an avant-garde and technological look for EV9.
With reference to some of the previously released data, the new car is expected to accelerate at 100 km in less than 5 seconds, reach a range of 540 km at full speed, and drive 100 km in 6 minutes.
