It was November 2021 when Kia signaled its intentions toward launching a large electric SUV with the unveiling of the EV9 Concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Riding on the same E-GMP platform as the EV6, the zero-emission family hauler will be unveiled in production guise in the first half of this year. The announcement was made this week by the Hyundai Motor Group during a meeting held at the Namyang R&D Center in South Korea.
