Kia EV9 undergoes final technical testing ahead of 2023 world debut

Kia has revealed details of the final intensive testing programme undertaken by the Kia EV9 ahead of its world debut in 2023, following which it will become the brand’s flagship model aimed at revolutionising the electric SUV segment.

Developed over a period of 44 months to set new standards in design, performance, range, driving dynamics, technology and comfort, every facet of the EV9 is currently being pushed to the limits of durability at Kia’s global Namyang R&D centre in Korea.

During this final testing phase, the EV9 is being relentlessly subjected to a gruelling verification programme. Testing on a 4WD climbing hill and rough terrain tracks, as well as deep-water wading, will ensure maximum reliability even in the most challenging conditions. Kia’s high-speed, handling, and low-friction tracks place every element of the EV9’s performance and roadholding under the strictest scrutiny. At the same time, ‘Belgian pavé’ cobbled road surfaces enable Kia’s engineers to subject the EV9’s ride comfort and build quality to the harshest possible trials. In addition to the test programme at Namyang R&D centre, like every Kia model, the EV9 has also been subjected to a punishing testing regimen in locations all over the globe.

Kia first gave the world a preview of its newest flagship model in the form of the Kia Concept EV9, unveiled at AutoMobility LA in Los Angeles last year. Personifying ‘Opposites United,’ the brand’s groundbreaking new design language, Kia wants the EV9 production model to represent the pinnacle of what is possible with an SUV.

The vehicle is set to be formally introduced in the first quarter of 2023, the Kia follows in the footsteps of the Kia EV6, which has garnered numerous critical accolades, including the highly prestigious European Car of the Year 2022 title, and in the UK has continued to impress at an incredibly high level.
