Kia EV9 Performance Overview

Kia’s EV9 enters the record as a three-row electric SUV with a short but clearly defined performance profile, covered here across 7 independently verified tests spanning 2024 to 2024. In this first production year, every logged result comes from a 379-hp dual-motor electric setup, establishing a narrow but useful baseline for the model’s launch-era acceleration. The recorded spread runs from the 2024 Land at 5.1 seconds to 60 mph to the 2024 GT-Line at 4.4 seconds, with an overall average of 4.66 seconds.

Because the data set is concentrated in one model year, the EV9’s performance story is really a trim-by-trim view of its initial electric lineup. The GT-Line set the early benchmark not only with its 4.4-second 0-60 run, but also with the model’s quickest quarter-mile at 13.2 seconds @ 102 mph. Other 2024 GT-Line tests returned 4.5 and 4.6 seconds to 60 mph, while the 2024 Land also posted a 5.0-second run.

As it stands today, the EV9’s measured performance centers on a single-generation, all-electric configuration with no gasoline or hybrid variants in the current data. The current-production benchmark remains the 2024 GT-Line’s 4.4-second 0-60, defining where the EV9 stands today.

How we verify Kia EV9 performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Kia EV9 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
