Compare Kia EV6 vs Kia EV9
Compare: 2025 Kia EV6 vs 2026 Kia EV9
The 2025 Kia EV6 and 2026 Kia EV9 take bold electrifying design in different directions: One moves like a sport-tuned hatchback, and the other drives more like a three-row SUV built for everyday family use. They share the same platform, serving different needs on the road.
Size, Seating, and Cargo
The Kia EV6 stays low, wide, and sleek. It's a two-row, five-passenger model that provides generous rear-passenger legroom. The hatch opens to a flat-loading cargo area with over 24 cubic feet and expands to 48 cubic feet with folded rear seats.
The Kia EV9 towers higher with a more squared-off body and three standard rows. It seats six passengers with second-row captain's chairs or seven with a bench seat. There's 20.2 cubic feet of storage behind the third row, expanding to 81.7 cubic feet with all rear seats folded.
Performance and Range
The Kia EV6 offers multiple power levels, including rear-wheel and all-wheel drive (AWD) configuration that makes up to 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque, with a tow rating of up to 2,700 pounds. Range varies by configuration, reaching 319 miles on a full charge.
The Kia EV9 focuses on power and strength. Dual-motor configurations generate up to 379 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, and up to 5,000 pounds of towing power. Range reaches 305 miles, depending on the trim and wheel size.
Ride Quality
The Kia EV6 feels planted and agile, with quick steering response and a lower center of gravity that confidently holds around corners. Cabin noise stays low even at highway speeds.
The Kia EV9 rides higher but isn't top-heavy. The suspension absorbs road bumps, maintains composure on rough pavement, and stays quiet in traffic.
The Kia EV6 moves low, agile, and tuned for responsive handling like a lifted hatchback. Its smaller size allows quick takeoffs and easier parking. The Kia EV9 favors families with more seating, headroom, and ground clearance without feeling sluggish.
The Kia EV6 hugs the road with sharper reflexes, and the Kia EV9 smooths things out with long-wheelbase comfort. Although they share a powertrain architecture, the Kia EV6 channels speed over the Kia EV9 model's balanced strength and space.
