Kia first showcased the EV9 concept at the LA Auto Show in November 2021, and now the concept has transitioned into reality, with the EV9 assuming the role of being the brand’s flagship. While it has a boxy design, the drag coefficient is just 0.28cd. In terms of design and styling, the EV9 doesn't stray too far from the concept, retaining the overall silhouette and stance. Even bits like the headlamps and tail lamps that tend to get severely watered down as a concept transitions to its production form have been adapted quite well to stay as close to the concept as possible.
