What Happened
Kia America has announced official pricing for the 2027 EV9 lineup, implementing minor MSRP adjustments across five trim levels while upgrading standard feature rosters. The entry-level Light Short Range variant begins at $54,990 before a $1,645 destination charge, marking a $90 increase over the outgoing model year.
- $54,990
- $57,990
- $64,090
The most extensive revisions center on the penultimate Land trim, which starts at $69,990. While this represents a $1,090 increase over the previous baseline Land, the grade now incorporates the former Nightfall Edition Package as standard equipment, resulting in a $500 saving compared to selecting that package on the 2026 iteration.
516lb-ft
Elevates dual-motor output from 379 lb-ft to trim 0-60 mph acceleration to 5.0 seconds
Standard equipment on the updated Land includes gloss-black 20-inch alloy wheels, matching dark exterior accents, a black headliner, and customized synthetic leather seat stitching. Mechanically, the trim gains standard Torque Boost programming that temporarily elevates dual-motor output from 379 lb-ft to 516 lb-ft, reducing the 0-60 mph acceleration sprint from 5.7 seconds to 5.0 seconds flat.
For the $64,090 Wind grade, standard equipment expands to include dark 19-inch wheels alongside obsidian outer body accents, while Wolf Gray enters the available exterior paint selections. Battery capacities remain split between the 76.1 kWh unit offering 230 miles of EPA range and the larger 99.8 kWh battery delivering up to 305 miles on single-motor configurations.
Why this matters
Standardizing the Nightfall package and dual-motor torque boost lowers the entry price for high-output three-row electric configurations. The packaging update sharpens the EV9's value against rival family haulers.
