Kia EV9 Leasing

Which Kia EV9 Should I Lease?

The right Kia EV9 depends mainly on how many people you need to carry, how much performance you want and whether you need all-wheel drive.

Kia EV9 Air

The EV9 Air is the entry point to the current Car Leasing range. It uses a 149kW electric motor, 99.8kWh battery and rear-wheel drive.

Choose the Air if you want the EV9's large seven-seat-SUV alternative without moving to the higher-powered AWD versions. The current Car Leasing listing is a five-seat specification, so check the individual vehicle listing rather than assuming every EV9 has the same seating layout.

Kia EV9 GT-Line

The GT-Line moves to a 282kW all-wheel-drive powertrain and 378bhp. It is aimed at drivers who want more performance and AWD capability while retaining the EV9's large SUV format.

The current Car Leasing GT-Line listing is a five-seat specification.

Kia EV9 GT-Line S

The GT-Line S uses the same 282kW AWD powertrain but is available through the current Car Leasing range in both six- and seven-seat configurations.

The six-seat version uses two individual second-row seats with a centre console, while the seven-seat version provides a conventional three-seat second row.

If passenger flexibility is the priority, the seven-seat EV9 is the more straightforward choice. If second-row comfort and a more lounge-like layout matter more, the six-seat version may be preferable.

Kia EV9 GT

The EV9 GT is the highest-powered version currently shown on the Car Leasing page. It uses a 374kW AWD powertrain with 502bhp and 740Nm of torque.

Current Car Leasing listings are available with either six or seven seats.

The GT is the choice for drivers who want the strongest performance from the EV9 range while retaining its three-row SUV layout.

Kia EV9 6-Seater vs 7-Seater

The EV9 is available in both six- and seven-seat layouts on selected versions.

The 7-seat configuration is better suited to families who regularly need maximum passenger capacity.

The 6-seat configuration replaces the second-row bench with two individual seats and a centre console. This gives the second row a different seating layout and can make access to the third row easier.

Current Car Leasing inventory includes six- and seven-seat versions of the GT-Line S and GT, so compare the individual vehicle listings before choosing.

Kia EV9 Range and Battery

Every current EV9 on the Car Leasing page uses a 99.8kWh battery.

Official Kia UK figures give the EV9 Air a WLTP range of up to 349 miles. The current AWD versions have lower official WLTP ranges, with GT-Line and GT models listed at around 316 miles and GT-Line S at around 313 miles.

Actual range depends on the version, wheel specification, speed, temperature, driving conditions and use of heating or air conditioning.

For longer journeys, compare the official range of the exact EV9 specification you are considering rather than relying on the maximum range figure for the whole model range.

Kia EV9 Charging

The EV9 uses an 800-volt electrical architecture designed for rapid DC charging.

Selected current EV9 specifications can accept up to 210kW DC charging, with a 10–80% charging time of around 24 minutes under suitable conditions.

Charging performance depends on the charging station, battery temperature, battery state of charge and other conditions.

For regular long-distance driving, the EV9's combination of a large 99.8kWh battery and rapid DC charging makes charging time an important part of the model's appeal.

Kia EV9 Performance

The current EV9 range spans substantially different performance levels.

The Air uses a 149kW electric motor and is listed at 9.4 seconds for 0–62mph.

The 282kW GT-Line and GT-Line S versions produce 378bhp and are listed at 5.3 seconds for 0–62mph.

The 374kW GT produces 502bhp and 740Nm of torque, with a current 0–62mph figure of 4.6 seconds.

This means the EV9 is not a single performance specification: the version you choose has a significant effect on acceleration and drivetrain.

Kia EV9 Practicality

The EV9 is designed around three rows of seating and a large passenger compartment.

Current specifications give the EV9 a luggage capacity of 333 litres with the seats in use and more than 2,300 litres with the rear seating folded, depending on the exact version.

The large body also gives the EV9 a 5,015mm length and 3,100mm wheelbase.

If you regularly carry passengers and luggage, check the six- or seven-seat configuration and the individual vehicle specification rather than comparing the EV9 only by its headline boot figure.

Kia EV9 Towing

Selected AWD EV9 specifications have a maximum braked towing capacity of up to 2,500kg.

If towing is important, check the exact vehicle listing and its technical specification before entering into a lease, as towing capacity can depend on the specific configuration.

Kia EV9 Technology and Equipment

Current EV9 specifications include technology such as:

• 12.3-inch driver display

• 12.3-inch touchscreen navigation system

• 360-degree around-view monitor

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

• Head-up display on selected specifications

• Blind-spot monitoring

• Highway Driving Assist

• Lane Following Assist

• Remote Smart Park Assist on selected versions

• Heat pump

• Over-the-air updates

• Multiple USB-C charging points

Equipment varies between Air, GT-Line, GT-Line S and GT versions, so check the exact live vehicle listing for the specification included with your lease.

Kia EV9 for Family Use

The EV9 is particularly relevant if you need a large electric SUV with three rows of seating.

The choice between six and seven seats is important. The seven-seat layout prioritises passenger capacity, while the six-seat layout gives the second row two individual seats.

The large battery also makes the EV9 suitable for drivers who need an electric vehicle for longer journeys, provided the available charging network fits their routes.

Kia EV9 Business Leasing

The Kia EV9 is available for business leasing as well as personal leasing through the current Car Leasing proposition.

Business leasing can be relevant to companies and eligible VAT-registered businesses looking for a large electric SUV. The commercial terms, VAT treatment and tax position depend on the lease agreement and the customer's circumstances.

For current business rentals, check the live vehicle listing and the exact contract terms.

What's Included With a Kia EV9 Lease?

The exact inclusions depend on the individual vehicle and lease agreement.

Typical lease inclusions may include:

• Road tax

• Free nationwide delivery

• Manufacturer warranty, subject to its terms

• An agreed annual mileage

• An agreed contract period

Maintenance is not automatically included and may be available as an optional addition on eligible agreements.

Always check the individual vehicle listing for the exact inclusions before ordering.

Kia EV9 Lease Terms and Mileage

Current Car Leasing EV9 listings allow you to compare different contract lengths and initial rentals, with annual mileage selected according to the available vehicle and lease configuration.

Your monthly rental depends on factors including:

• EV9 specification

• Contract length

• Initial rental

• Annual mileage

• Personal or business lease

• Whether maintenance is selected

• Current vehicle availability

The cheapest monthly rental is not necessarily the lowest overall lease cost. Compare the initial rental, monthly payments, contract length and mileage together.

How Does Kia EV9 Leasing Work?

Choose the Kia EV9 specification that suits your requirements, then select the available lease type, contract length, initial rental and annual mileage.

The lease agreement sets the contracted mileage and rental payments. You return the vehicle at the end of the agreement, subject to the contract terms, mileage allowance and fair wear and tear requirements.

If you exceed the agreed mileage, excess mileage charges may apply.
