Why is the Kia EV9 Popular?

One of the most remarkable shifts we’ve seen in the automotive industry over the past ten years is the rise of the Electric Vehicle (EV). More people than ever before have decided to go green, both for financial and eco-conscious reasons. Now, at #1 Cochran Kia, we’re seeing a full-on EV revolution. Prospective Kia drivers, from Oakdale to Carnegie, are choosing the electric, top-of-its-class Kia EV9 more than ever before. We wanted to explore a few of the reasons why this shift has occurred so you can determine if the Kia EV9 is the right choice for you.

Environmental Impact

When people think of going green they think of EVs. It’s one of the key factors why the marketplace has expanded so rapidly. The Kia EV9 establishes itself firmly at the peak of this eco-conscious industry. The Kia EV9 is a stylish, luxurious SUV combining Kia excellence with the technological advancements and durability of an electric vehicle. Eye catching design paired with ultra fast charging and zero emissions means that anyone who chooses the Kia EV9 is making a positive difference. And a stylish lifestyle statement.

Power without Compromise

It’s easy to be captivated by the look and eco-friendliness of the Kia EV9, but take a seat behind the wheel and you’ll find that’s far from the only reason it’s become so popular. The Kia EV9 hides an impressive amount of power behind the stunning exterior with up to 379 horsepower and 443 lbs of torque. If that’s not enough, GT-Line AWD trim provides up to 5,000 lbs towing capacity. And for the longer journeys, the Kia EV9 has an EPA-estimated range of 280 miles. A generous range and seating for seven means you can take the whole gang on adventures near and far. It’s no wonder the Kia EV9 was named the North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™ in 2024 – it’s a vehicle that owners and reviewers alike rave about.

Return on Investment

On top of great performance, the Kia EV9 also provides drivers with an impressive amount of value with its combination of quick charging, lower maintenance cost and an overall high return on investment. Many drivers choose the Kia EV9 because of how much they can save each year when charging over purchasing gasoline – and the incredibly fast 350 kW charging at DC public stations can bring the Kia EV9 from 10% – 80% in 24 minutes making the rest periods brief. And this is without mentioning maintenance – or lack thereof. Due to not needing oil changes and fewer parts in the drivetrain of an EV, the Kia EV9 has a lower maintenance cost overall. Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) require more routine maintenance than an electric vehicle like the Kia EV9. And at #1 Cochran Kia, we have a team of certified experts ready to help you with repairs at an affordable price.

Tax Credits on New and Used EVs ¹

There’s a number of incentives for drivers interested in buying a new or used EV. In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced an up-to $7,500 tax credit when buying a new EV for personal use from a dealership. If you have any additional questions about eligibility, please contact us. If you’re in the market for a used Kia EV9, there’s a similarly helpful incentive. You can receive up-to $4,000 in tax credit when buying a used EV that’s at least two years old, purchased from a dealership and below $25,000. No matter which route you choose, you can receive financial incentive to make owning an EV more affordable.
