Furthermore, Kia integrates Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, empowering owners to leverage the vehicle's battery power for external devices, offering up to 3.68 kW for various utilities.
Looking ahead, Kia will integrate the Highway Driving Pilot (HDP) system, equipping the EV9 GT-Line with conditional Level 3 autonomous driving capabilities, promising enhanced safety through advanced sensors and collision prevention measures.
Emphasizing safety as a paramount concern, the EV9 features a robust chassis design and groundbreaking B-pillar connection structure technology, ensuring superior occupant protection and safeguarding the vehicle's batteries.
