• The 2024 Kia EV9 got a new preview ahead of its unveiling.
• The production version of the new all-electric midsize SUV will be officially presented on March 14.
• It is already clear that the production model has retained much of the design of the 2021 concept.
Kia has shared a new video showcasing some exterior elements of the upcoming 2024 Kia EV9. The electric midsize SUV will be officially presented later this month, but the company wants to keep the focus on what is a game-changing model for the segment: a large SUV without an internal combustion engine.
Things don’t always turn out that way, but the latest images of the Kia EV9 clearly show that, in this case, the production model retains most of the concept design cues we’ve seen previously.

The shaded images don’t reveal everything, but we get a general idea of some of the main points. For example, the vehicle gets a closed panel at the front, which is framed by LED headlights and daytime running lights that will look quite distinctive on the road. Above is the new Kia logo on the hood.
At the rear, the lighting is equally distinctive, as it extends vertically towards the roof, but also horizontally, partly towards that new logo in the center.
Although Kia hasn’t specified, it’s clear that the EV9 will be an all-electric counterpart roughly equivalent to the brand’s hugely successful Telluride SUV. At the same time, this electric vehicle is built on the same E-GMP platform that underpins Kia’s EV6, for example.
We can expect more information – and who knows, maybe more footage – as the March 14th presentation date draws near.
