KIA EV9 won double titles at the 2024 World Car Awards, winning the World Car of the Year title and the World Electric Vehicle title. This takes Kia’s award tally to five in the World Car Awards’ 20-year-old history.
Last year, the Kia EV6 GT won the World Performance Car title. In 2020, Kia won the World Car of the Year title for the Telluride and the World Urban Car title for the Soul EV.
“This triumph is a testament to our unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and design excellence. The Kia EV9’s continued success will drive us to keep delivering exceptional vehicles that redefine the driving experience for customers around the world,” said Ho Sung Song, president and CEO, Kia.
The EV9 won the title ahead of the BYD Seal and the Volvo EX30 in the World Car of the Year category while it bested the BMW i5 and Volvo EX30 in the World Electric Vehicle category.
