Kia America has officially announced pricing and feature updates for the 2026 Kia EV9, and the big news is its enhanced electric range. The 2026 EV9 Light Long Range (LR) model now offers an impressive Kia-estimated 305 miles on a single charge—making it one of the most capable all-electric three-row SUVs in its class.
Longer Range for More Freedom
For eco-conscious drivers and families looking to go further without stopping, the 2026 EV9 Light Long Rangedelivers with its class-leading range. This new figure represents a meaningful bump that enhances the vehicle’s practicality for long-distance driving. Other trims, including the Wind and Land models, also see improved estimated ranges at 283 miles, while the GT-Line trim achieves an estimated 280 miles.
Pricing and Trim Levels
Kia continues to offer the EV9 in a variety of well-equipped trims, catering to different driving needs and budgets. Below are the 2026 MSRP figures (excluding a $1,495 destination charge):
- EV9 Light SR – $54,900
- EV9 Light LR – $57,900
- EV9 Wind – $63,900
- EV9 Land – $68,900
- EV9 GT-Line – $71,900
Each trim offers its own blend of range, luxury, and technology, now enhanced with Kia’s Terrain Mode, replacing traditional 4WD with specialized Snow, Mud, and Sand settings across all AWD models.
Introducing the Nightfall Edition
One of the most stylish updates to the 2026 Kia EV9 lineup is the addition of the Nightfall Edition on the Land AWD trim. This exclusive package adds a premium visual flair and performance edge with:
- 20-inch gloss black wheels
- Gloss black exterior trim and black badging
- Unique interior design elements with exclusive seat stitching
- A new Roadrider Brown exterior paint option
- Available 6-passenger or 7-passenger seating configurations at no additional cost
These enhancements give the EV9 a more aggressive, head-turning presence, ideal for buyers looking to combine electrified performance with bold design.
Fresh Color Options
In addition to the Roadrider Brown for the Nightfall Edition, the GT-Line receives two new striking two-tone exterior colors:
- Glacial White Pearl with Ebony Black roof
- Wolf Gray with Ebony Black roof
These updates reflect Kia’s ongoing commitment to delivering modern styling alongside cutting-edge electric technology.
Why the 2026 Kia EV9 Stands Out
With its enhanced electric range, versatile seating options, and refined styling, the 2026 Kia EV9 remains a leader in the three-row EV SUV segment. Whether you’re drawn to the 305-mile Light LR for its efficiency or the bold Nightfall Edition for its design, Kia offers a compelling package for a wide variety of drivers.
