Some Kia EV9 Trims Are Way Cheaper for 2026
The base EV9 starts at $56,395 for the entry-level EV9 Light SR, but the top-tier GT-Line is $2,000 cheaper.
Good news: The Kia EV9 won’t be any more expensive for 2026. The EV9 has the same starting price as before—$56,395 (with the $1,495 destination charge). However, Kia has reduced the prices of a few trims, including the top-tier GT-Line, which is now $2,000 cheaper.
Kia continues to offer the EV9 in five trims for 2026: Light Standard Range, Light Long Range, Wind, Land, and GT-Line. The lineup carries over mostly unchanged from 2025, although a new Nightfall Edition package is available for the Land trim, offering more than just a visual makeover.
| Model | 2026 Price | 2025 Price | Change |
| EV9 Light SR | $56,395 | $56,395 | $0 |
| EV9 Light LR | $59,395 | $61,395 | -$2,000 |
| EV9 Wind | $65,395 | $65,395 | $0 |
| EV9 Land | $70,396 | $71,395 | -$1,000 |
| EV9 GT-Line | $73,395 | $75,395 | -$2,000 |
The Nightfall Edition features the Boost mode from the GT-Line that increases the torque from 443 to 516 pound-feet. The SUV can hit 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds, according to Kia, with the same 379 horsepower. The Nightfall Edition also features gloss-black trim, 20-inch black wheels, and a new exclusive color called Roadrider Brown.
The EV9 Light LR is also $2,000 cheaper, with Kia shaving $1,000 off the EV9 Land’s MSRP. They now start at $59,395 and $70,396, respectively. The GT-Line costs $73,395 to start.
Kia also increased the range of specific EV9 trims, with the GT-Line seeing the biggest increase. It can travel an estimated 280 miles on a charge, up from 270. The Wind and Land also saw their range increase from 280 miles to 283. Even the Light LR got a 1-mile boost to 305 miles
Also new for 2026 is the EV9 GT. However, Kia hasn’t announced the price for this performance model. It could have as much as 501 horsepower—Kia hasn’t finalized the specs—and hit 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds.
