After a small preview a few days ago, the Kia Concept EV9 & egrave; was officially unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It is, as the name suggests, the concept of the future Kia EV9, an electric SUV that the Korean brand will launch; in the next years. This concept car embodies the brand's commitment to propose solutions for mobility. more sustainable. Furthermore, always wanting to emphasize the concept of sustainability, cars make extensive use of recycled materials .
DESIGN AND INTERIORS 
Kia explains that to design this electric SUV, the technicians started from the new design philosophy “ Opposites United '' also used for the new electric Kia EV6. This design philosophy essentially requires the cars to feature a distinctive and impactful look that reflects the manufacturer's growing focus on electrification. The front is characterized by the presence of the evolution of the classic Tiger Nose grille, renamed & quot; Digital Tiger Face & quot; which includes a dynamic lighting system & ldquo; sequential & rdquo ;.
The manufacturer also explains that thanks to the new design of the front & egrave; it was possible to improve aerodynamic efficiency to the advantage of reducing fuel consumption. The Kia Concept EV9 measures 4,930 mm long x 2,055 mm wide x 1,790 mm high, with a wheelbase of 3,100 mm. A generously sized SUV that features a look that is somewhat reminiscent of both that Kia Soul EV and that of the & quot; cousin & quot; Hyundai Seven Concept just presented at the Los Angeles Motor Show.
The car rests on the E-GMP platform of the Hyundai Group, expressly dedicated to electric cars. Thanks to the long wheelbase and the flat floor, the passenger compartment has plenty of space inside (3 rows of seats). Just like its Hyundai Seven Concept cousin, the rear door opens against the wind. This solution allows to offer passengers a lot of space to enter the passenger compartment.
The interiors are minimal. In particular, the large 27-inch display stands outthat in addition to providing driving information & egrave; also the center of gravity of entertainment services. When the car is stop, the passenger compartment can evolve by offering a different experience to passengers. By choosing the & quot; Pause Mode & quot ;, the internal space becomes more & ugrave; similar to a living room, offering occupants the opportunity to interact directly with each other by benefiting from the light that enters from the large panoramic roof. In this mode, the seats reverse to allow first and third row occupants to face each other. The second row seats fold down and become a table.
Instead, with the Enjoy Mode, the doors open, offering all occupants the opportunity; to connect with the external environment, while sitting comfortably inside the SUV.
AUTONOMY AND RECHARGE 
The Korean manufacturer has provided little information on the technical specifications of the concept. Nothing & egrave; been told about the powertrain schematic. However, Kia expects the electric SUV to have a range of 300 miles , that is; of about 480 km. Thanks to the E-GMP platform that supports 800 V architecture, you can & agrave; recharge at high power. In 20-30 minutes it will be; possible to go from 10% to 80% of the capacity of the accumulator from a 350 kW column.
