It was mid-November 2021 when Kia signaled its intentions towards coming out with an electric SUV bigger than the EV6<\/a>. The Concept EV9 arrived at the Los Angeles Auto Show as a three-row family hauler with a boxy shape and a sharp exterior design. Fast forward to today, the company\u2019s UK division has announced a production version will follow next year. Kia only confirms European availability, but we\u2019re expecting the zero-emissions vehicle to be sold in other regions as well shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n As a refresher, the EV was imposingly large, stretching at 4,930 millimeters (194 inches) long, 2,055 mm (81 in) wide, and 1,790 mm (70 in) tall, with an extended wheelbase measuring 3,100 mm (122 in). Sadly, the new press release issued this week doesn\u2019t contain any additional information about what will be a sister model of the Hyundai Ioniq 7.<\/a> Later, a more upscale equivalent from Genesis should hit the market.<\/p>\n
