It’s been raining SUVs in Pakistan, with many companies introducing new models while other companies are bringing the newer generation of their existing SUVs. After the launch of the KIA Sportage L (5th generation), the KIA EV9, a premium luxury SUV, is also introduced in Pakistan. It offers an immersive driving experience, luxurious comfort features, and top-class safety. Here, I will show you the KIA EV9 price in Pakistan, specs, features, and other details.
So, let’s start with the price:
KIA EV9 Price in Pakistan
The price of the KIA EV9 is Rs. 43,200,000, and yes, I know, the price is on the higher side. But it’s a luxurious SUV with a lot of convenient features, impressive performance, and superior safety. Let’s see what makes this SUV quite expensive compared to many other EV options available in Pakistan.
Exterior
Futuristic, elegant, and highly attractive is what I felt when I first saw this electric SUV. It was a concept car first unveiled as the Kia EV9 Concept at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, which became a reality in 2023 after its global launch. With its angular cuts, flashy-looking LED projector lights and stylish rims, it screams concept everywhere you look.
It’s not just about the sleek and futuristic design but also the rugged and tough look blended via the tiger nose 3D front grille, angled and sharp character lines, and high-profile bonnet. It lies on the boundary between mid-size and full-size SUVs, as many call it, a mid-size SUV, but some of its dimension elements also fall in the full-size SUV category.
