Kia EV9 Named ‘North American Car,
Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year’

On January 4th, the Kia EV9 was named the ‘North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year’, marking it as the top SUV in what is considered the world’s largest automotive market. John Voelcker, an automotive journalist and one of the judges, lauded the EV9 for its groundbreaking approach to electric vehicles, saying, “It opens new territory for EVs, and its looks draw attention well before anyone finds out it’s electric.” This underlines the vehicle’s innovation and striking design.

The EV9’s win this year in the ‘North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year’ awards holds particular significance, following the EV6’s victory in the same category last year. It underscores that Kia’s electric SUV lineup is consistently acclaimed for its product excellence, solidifying its presence in the fiercely competitive North American market.
