The UK Car of the Year jury have named the Kia EV9 as the UK’s car of the year while the vehicle also picked up the award for the ‘large crossover’ category.
Priced from £65,025 on-the-road, the car offers an electric driving range of up to 349 miles from a single charge of its standard 99.8kWh battery and ultra-fast charging capable of adding 154 miles in 15 minutes.
John Challen, co-chairman, UK Car of the Year Awards, said: “The uber-practical Kia EV9 could be the vehicle that gets more drivers out of their petrol or diesel car than any other model.
“Seven seats, loaded with technology, premium quality and enough miles from the battery to cure almost every case of range anxiety – plus it’s fantastic to drive, too.”
The Kia EV9 offers a choice of six-or seven-seat configurations; rear- or all-wheel drive powertrains; and three comprehensively equipped trim levels.
Paul Philpott, president & CEO of Kia UK, added: “This well-respected award also gives our 190-strong UK dealer network a boost, as it continues to support customers on their electrification journey and deliver them the UK’s best car.”
The car went on-sale in the UK in January and was already a finalist for the 2024 European Car of the Year awards.
In addition, the car is a top-three finalist for the 2024 World Car Awards, to be announced at the New York International Auto Show on 27 March.
