Kia has released more details about the 2024 Kia EV9, which will easily be at the top of any list with families looking for a three-row electric SUV. The EV9 is based on the same e-GMP platform as the Kia EV6 and is about the same size as the Kia Telluride.

The EV9 measures 197.2-inches long, 78.0-inches wide and 69.1-inches tall, which is close to the Telluride. But the big difference is that the EV9 has a much longer wheelbase that stretches 7.8-inches longer at a total 122-inches. What we still don’t know are the interior dimensions for the EV9, but those specs will likely be released next week at the New York Auto Show. But with a longer wheelbase and a flat floor, we expect the EV9 to be more spacious than the Telluride.

The EV9 will be available in either six- or seven-passenger versions.
