Swivel seats are useless unless the doors are open. You can't swivel with the door closed – pointless design. Shallow boot with all three rows up. Service support is limited to select dealerships. Not worth ₹1.3 crore.

The 2025 Kia EV9 is priced at around ₹1.30 crore (ex-showroom), making it Kia’s flagship electric SUV and one of the most premium EVs available in India today.
The EV9 made its India debut in October 2024, with deliveries starting in March 2025. It was introduced globally in 2023 and has since become one of the most talked-about three-row electric SUVs.
The EV9 comes with a 99.8 kWh battery pack, offering an ARAI-certified range of 561 km. Its dual-motor AWD setup produces 379 bhp and 700 Nm of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds.
The EV9 is a full-sized electric SUV, measuring 5015 mm in length (16.45 ft), 1980 mm in width (6.49 ft), and 1780 mm in height (5.84 ft), with a long 3100 mm wheelbase (10.17 ft). It also has a 198 mm ground clearance, making it road-trip ready for India’s highways and occasional bad patches.
The EV9 is offered in a 6-seater layout with luxurious second-row captain seats, perfect for families who want space and comfort. The seats can recline and even swivel in some variants, turning the cabin into a lounge on wheels.
The EV9 provides 333 litres of boot space with all three rows up, which is enough for a few strollers or medium-sized bags. Fold the rear seats, and it expands to over 2314 litres, making it perfect for long family vacations. It even comes with a 52-litre frunk (front trunk) for charging cables and small bags.
Assuming an efficiency of 5.6 km/kWh and electricity price of ₹9 per unit, the EV9 costs roughly ₹1.60 per km to run. That’s significantly cheaper than a petrol or diesel SUV of this size, which can cost ₹7–10 per km in fuel.
The EV9 supports ultra-fast 800V charging, which can take the battery from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes with a 350 kW DC charger. On a standard 11 kW AC home charger, a full charge will take around 8–9 hours.
At over 5 meters long, the EV9 is not a city-friendly SUV for tight lanes or small parking spaces. It shines on highways and in gated communities where space isn’t a constraint. Buyers should think of it as a chauffeur-friendly luxury EV SUV rather than a daily city commuter.
The EV9 is perfect for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and large families who want a premium, eco-friendly alternative to big luxury SUVs like the Mercedes EQS SUV or BMW iX. It combines financial sense (low running cost, lower maintenance) with status appeal and futuristic design.
Since the EV9 has fewer moving parts than a petrol or diesel SUV, service bills are lighter. Expect ₹15,000–20,000 per year for scheduled maintenance, which covers brake fluid, cabin filters, software updates, and inspections. Over 5 years, this adds up to ₹75,000–1,00,000.
For a ₹1.30 crore SUV, first-year comprehensive insurance will be around ₹4.5–5 lakh. Over 5 years, with depreciation factored in, insurance costs will hover around ₹15–18 lakh in total.
Luxury EVs are still new to India, but based on trends from Europe, expect 40–45% of the original value after 5 years if the battery health remains strong. Kia offers 8 years / 1,60,000 km battery warranty, which makes it safer for resale.
Yes, for buyers who want a luxury chauffeur-driven SUV with much lower fuel and maintenance bills compared to ICE competitors. It may not save money for the middle-class buyer, but for CXOs, business families, and premium buyers, it combines green credentials with long-term financial logic.
