There are big plans for the electric lineup.
The EV9 is an idea for a fully electric SUV. The EV6 is a name that is in keeping with the naming convention.

Two back rows of seats in the full-size SUV can be folded and rearranged. You can set up the seats like a living room while charging.

There is a solar panel on the hood that can provide additional sun-powered range. The EV9 will have fast charging capability and will go from 10 to 80 percent charged in 30 minutes.
When you approach the car, the grille lights up and the doors open wide. Many of the materials are made from recycled plastic.
Expect to see some EV9 inspiration in the next SUV from Kia.
