Kia is currently running a Limited offer on their AWD EV9's.
Earth 99.8 kWh AWD: $89,990 + ORC (normally $115,990 + ORC). Offer limited to 36 units
GT-Line 99.8 kWh AWD: $99,990 + ORC (normally$89,990 +ORC). Offer limited to 100 units
Amusingly both of the above trims undercut the base Light 76.1 kWh RWD, which is not discounted, and is priced at $105,990 +ORC.
Posting this as the recently posted cheap Chinese EV's, have been copping criticism for their position at the bottom of the market.
The Kia EV9, as you have likely guessed from the price, is a high end offering. Winner of the both the EV and overall award at 2024 World Car Awards.
