PERFORMANCE
The dawn of EVs has brought plenty of questions surrounding their capabilities. Thanks to high-capacity batteries and sophisticated motors, today’s electric models are ready to take you and your crew on a fun-filled ride.
Electrified Engineering
Electric vehicle infrastructure is an automotive revolution. Whisper-quiet operation and zero emissions contribute to a revolutionized drive, and the Kia EV9 and the Volvo EX90 are no exceptions. With the ability to charge at home or on the go, these EVs can travel hundreds of miles on a single charge. Plus, you’ll enjoy near-instant response times for a more exciting ride. Regardless of which SUV you choose, you’ll enjoy these electrifying capabilities:
- Maximum EPA-estimated driving range of at least 305 miles*
- Access to the Tesla Supercharger network
- Around 30 minutes to charge from 10-80% (DC fast charge stations)
- 4.7-second quickest acceleration time (0-60 MPH)
The Kia EV9 offers both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive systems to satisfy those who want a sport-style launch or improved handling, while the EX90 only has one drivetrain.
Precision Driving Made Easy
Conditions in the world can change anytime. When you can make shifts that suit the situation, you’ll feel in tune with your ride and have ultimate control over its handling. The standard Drive Mode Select in the Kia EV9 gives you the adaptability you need for whatever the day has in store for you. Its modes include:
- Normal
- Sport
- Eco
- My Mode (Customizable)
When selected, each mode makes precise adjustments that alter how your SUV performs, whether you prefer energy-saving measures or a stiffer, more athletic feel. For enhanced control, the Kia EV9 comes with an optional Terrain Mode, which adds two off-road modes. The Volvo EX90 offers no similar features, making Kia your destination for dynamic driving.
INTERIOR
With so much time spent behind the wheel, you need your SUV to prioritize comfort. With room for the whole family across three rows, the Kia EV9 and the Volvo EX90 cater to everyone’s needs. Plus, spaciousness ensures they meet the future needs of your growing family.
Room for Today & the Future
When space is a top priority, the Kia EV9 and the Volvo EX90 deliver. Each can comfortably seat six or seven passengers, depending on the second-row configuration. While they share the number of seats, key differences make one of these vehicles more comfortable for riders of all ages.
Kia EV9 | Volvo EX90 | |
|---|---|---|
| First-Row Shoulder Room | 61.6 in. | 58.1 in. |
| Second-Row Legroom | 42.8 in. | 36.5 in. |
| Third-Row Headroom | 39.5 in. | 35.8 in. |
Driving a full-size SUV means ample room for cargo, too. Inside the Kia EV9, you’ll have 20.2 to 81.7 cubic feet of cargo space, as well as an extra 3.2 cubic feet in the front trunk. Again, the EX90 falls short, with only 13.3 to 73.5 cubic feet of cargo space inside the cabin with just 1.6 cubic feet of extra space in the front trunk.
Every Ride, Enhanced
For a life always on the move, you deserve an SUV that prioritizes your well-being. The Volvo EX90 reduces visual clutter with its Scandinavian-focused design, which prioritizes a clean, minimalist layout. This SUV also includes ergonomic front seats, which are heated and, when optionally equipped, features cooling and massaging capabilities.
The Kia EV9 takes comfort to the next level with standard heated and ventilated front seats. But the true focal point of the cabin is the exclusive first- and second-row Lounge Seats with Relaxation Mode. When optionally equipped, this feature adds:
- Reclining to a near-floating position
- Elevating footrest for extra support
- Tailored climate control for the ultimate experience
When waiting for take-out or needing a few minutes to unwind between meetings, Lounge Seats offer a revolutionary way to relax.
STYLE
Shopping for a new vehicle is an opportunity to express yourself. Having more options helps you stand out from the crowd and claim your next ride as yours alone. When you think about what you want from your next vehicle, only one model has more opportunities to find it all.
Your SUV, Styled Your Way
First impressions matter. Regarding your SUV, how you style your vehicle says a lot about your personality. The Kia EV9 and the Volvo EX90 offer up to eight different paint finishes in a variety of shades to make your arrival more vibrant. Yet only the EV9 offers two-tone options to help make a bolder statement.
As for the interior, the Kia EV9 goes the extra mile with seven unique styles, all of which use soft and durable SynTex material. Styles vary with color and stitching, including:
- Black & Dark Gray Quilted Stripes
- Dark & Light Gray Embossed Dot
- Black & Brown GT-Line
The EX90 offers just four muted colors for its cabin, all lacking the dual shading of the Kia EV9. When you seek variety with your SUV, the Kia EV9 has the choices you need.
Even More Options
Individual trim levels are an automaker’s way of expanding a model with additional features, technologies, and other improvements that enhance your time on the road. Each trim is a unique collection that builds upon the base model’s offerings with different luxurious add-ons. The Kia EV9 has four trim levels, each with its own twist on this already enticing model:
- Light (with available Long Range battery)
- Wind
- Land
- GT-Line
From parking sensor upgrades to blacked-out accents with the GT-Line trim, everyone can find something to enjoy with the different Kia EV9 trim levels. The Volvo EX90, on the other hand, only has two trims, which offer near-identical styling options that make them nearly indistinguishable from one another. More choices are always better, making the Kia EV9 better for drivers with specific tastes.
