Dual-motor seven-seater gets simulated gearshifts and sophisticated suspension
Kia has given BMW M3 levels of power KM3 to its new large SUV, enabling the EV9 GT to dispatch 0-60mph in just 4.3sec while providing seating for seven people.
The EV9 GT packs a dual-motor powertrain: a 215bhp motor mounted on the front axle and a 362bhp unit at the rear for a combined output of 501bhp. That's 123bhp more than the current EV9 range-topper, the GT-Line S.
