Overview
The Kia EV9 is a D-segment electric SUV with three rows, GT-Line AWD spec and a 99.8 kWh battery. It suits families moving from a large SUV or MPV who want six or seven seats without using petrol. In Malaysia, the EV9 starts from RM 368,668.
EV9 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the EV9 continues as a GT-Line AWD-only model in Malaysia, with Kia Sales Malaysia beginning operations and confirming the current price list for the EV9 alongside Sportage and Carnival. The range is still split by seating layout: a seven-seat version and a six-seat version, both using a 99.8 kWh battery, 505 km range and 380 hp electric drivetrain.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should take the GT-Line AWD (7-seater) at RM 368,668 because it gets the same 99.8 kWh battery, 505 km range, 380 hp output and AWD layout as the GT-Line AWD (6-seater) at RM 374,668, while adding one seat for RM6,000 less. Pay more only if the six-seat cabin better suits how you carry passengers. On paper, the gap buys a seating configuration, not extra range or power.

Verdict
The EV9 is a big-family EV with a clear brief: three rows, GT-Line AWD, 505 km range. It sits far above entry electric SUVs such as the Perodua QV-E, Seres 3 and BYD Atto 2, and in the same price neighbourhood as the Audi Q8 e-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC. But if you do not need six or seven seats, many electric SUVs cost much less.
