The 2026 Kia EV9 Air. Kia built a box, priced it like a German, and won World Car of the Year with it. At just over five metres, it’s the biggest car Kia has sold here.
Inside: three rows, seven proper seats, two 12.3-inch screens. Every row gets its own USB-C. Kia has clearly met a family.
The Air is rear drive: 76.1 kilowatt-hours, 443 claimed kilometres, ten to eighty in just over 20 minutes on a 150-kilowatt charger.
A big, boxy EV for the family, and that’s how it drives. The number on the screen sat a little under the number in the brochure and stayed there. Charged at home, it runs like petrol at 88 cents a litre.
Seven-year unlimited warranty. Five-star ANCAP. Vehicle-to-load. Kia spent twenty years telling you it’s the value brand, then priced this one at ninety-seven thousand dollars before on roads, to see if you were listening.
The Kia EV9 Air. Seven seats, no petrol, no fuss. The price is the only hard part.
