Performance

The Kia EV9 Long Range AWD has a maximum power of 239KW (325hp). The total torque is 605nm. The 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) takes 5,2 seconds. The top speed is 185 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 99,8kWh and a net capacity of 94kWh, meaning you have a 5,8kWh buffer for protection. (5,8%).

The WLTP range varies from 497 to 484 km (309-301 mi), depending on car options. Bigger wheels are an example of an equipment option that increases consumption and reduces the electric range. The consumption is between 18,9kWh/100km for the basic version and 19,4kWh/100km for the top trim version for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 233kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 48 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 21 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 1% to 75% resulting in an actual charge speed including time loss on 159kW. Each charge session would take 26 minutes and 12 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 21kWh/100km, 1000km will take 9 hours and 4 minutes to drive. This trip will require two charge session(s) charging from 1% to 63%. The total time lost for charging will be 45 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the onboard charger supports up to 11KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 8 hours and 32 minutes.
