2026 Kia EV9 Adds Value With Lower Prices And Better Range

Kia isn’t jacking up prices on the EV9 for 2026—in fact, they’re doing the opposite. While the base model holds steady at $56,395 (including destination), a few trims are actually a bit more wallet-friendly this time around. Most notably, the range-topping GT-Line is now $2,000 cheaper than last year.

The EV9 returns in the same five trims: Light Standard Range, Light Long Range, Wind, Land, and GT-Line. The lineup remains largely unchanged, but there are a few cool updates worth talking about—like the new Nightfall Edition.

The Nightfall package, available on the Land trim, isn’t just about looks. It borrows the GT-Line’s Boost mode, which bumps torque from 443 to 516 lb-ft, slicing the 0 to 60 mph time down to just 4.5 seconds. It also brings blacked-out trim, 20-inch black wheels, and a new color called Roadrider Brown, which looks especially sharp with the dark accents.

Kia has also quietly trimmed some prices. The Light Long Range model now starts $2,000 lower than before, while the Land is down by $1,000. Meanwhile, the GT-Line starts at $73,395—$2,000 less than the 2025 version. Range has seen some small but welcome improvements too. The GT-Line now goes an estimated 280 miles on a charge (up from 270), and both the Wind and Land trims now hit 283 miles (up from 280).

Even the Light Long Range model got a tiny bump to 305 miles. And if all that wasn’t enough, Kia confirmed that a brand-new EV9 GT is joining the family for 2026. No specs yet, but expect it to turn up the heat with more performance and likely a higher price tag. If you’ve been thinking about getting an EV9, the 2026 model gives you more for your money, with better range, some price cuts, and a few fresh options to sweeten the deal.
