Thomas KIA of Highland’s new Kia EV9 raises the bar for all-electric vehicles

Thomas KIA of Highland has an exciting line-up of electric vehicles coming in 2024, and to kick it all off, the dealership is proud to introduce the Kia EV9. With an extraordinary amount of power, incredible charging capabilities, and sleek, state-of-the-art amenities, this all-electric vehicle provides customers with a driving experience like no other. 

“When our Kia EV6 came out it won electric vehicle of the year. I think we’re going to be looking forward to many awards for the EV9,” said Thomas Kia of Highland Sales Manager Thomas Balestero. 

When thinking of all-electric vehicles, power and performance might not be the first things that come to most people’s minds. The new EV9 is changing that. The EV9 can tow up to 5,000 pounds, has up to 7.8 inches of ground clearance, and has a horsepower of 379, making it perfect for all kinds of adventures. Worried about struggling to take off at a stoplight? The EV9 has drivers covered with its near instantaneous acceleration and ability to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour (MPH) in four and a half seconds. As if that weren’t enough, the EV9 even has an onboard power generator that drivers can use as a power source when they’re out exploring. 

Power and performance aren’t the only things that make the EV9 a game changer — the EV9’s incredible charging capabilities have set a new precedent for all-electric vehicles. Each EV9 comes with ultra-fast 800v DC fast charging compatibility, allowing drivers to charge their car up to 80% in 24 minutes. Drivers can travel up to 300 miles in a fully charged EV9 and can stop to recharge in the comfort of their own homes or at over 41,000 charging stations across the United States. What’s even better is that the EV9’s battery is covered by Thomas KIA’s 10-year 100,000-mile limited warranty. 

“This is a car made to travel in,” said Balestero. 

Of course, the EV9 wouldn’t be complete without a cozy, technologically advanced, interior. The EV9 can comfortably seat up to seven adults with plenty of extra cargo space to spare, making bickerments with siblings over legroom a thing of the past. On long road trips, families won’t even have to take stretch breaks thanks to the EV9’s first and second-row relaxation seats that recline at the click of a button and come with a power leg rest. Lastly, drivers can travel with newfound confidence due to the EV9’s digital cockpit which provides multiple camera views and easily viewable vehicle information.

“I love putting our customers in cars they can put their families in comfortably, travel with easily, all while being eco friendly,” said Balestero. 

With all the amazing benefits that the EV9 offers, it’s easy to say that this all-electric vehicle is one people aren’t going to want to pass up. The great news is that people can start reserving their very own EV9 today. Just go to Thomas KIA of Highland’s website, click on the reserve with dealer button, pick out a color, and submit a fully refundable $750 reservation deposit — it’s that simple.
