Kia hints at next all-electric SUV with Concept EV9

Kia says the vehicle uses upcycled materials developed from waste deposited into the marine ecosystem.

Kia Corporation revealed its new all-electric SUV concept, the Kia Concept EV9, at AutoMobility LA. Just like the EV6, the Concept EV9 is a dedicated EV from Kia, having been developed and optimized on the company’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). The company says the design of the vehicle was inspired by nature and uses upcycled materials developed from waste deposited into the marine ecosystem.

The Kia design team was especially influenced by the ‘Bold for Nature’ pillar of Opposites United, the company says, adding the all-electric SUV concept takes on “an iconic and bold form, meshing logical and emotional qualities with playful, rugged features and styling cues.”
