Unlike the EV6, Kia has enough supply to satisfy all but the most unlikely levels of EV9 demand
KIA’S GOT some brass ones these days, because its new EV9 electric SUV is big, bold, and bloody expensive. It’s also unique, for Kia and the market alike, which could result in a surprise success – even at $100k a pop.
It’s here. Arriving in rapid form after its global reveal just nine months ago, Kia’s massive EV9 is now on sale in Australia. And, unlike the smaller EV6 when it launched last year, Kia has enough supply to satisfy all but the most unlikely levels of buyer interest, with an allocation of around 100 cars each month.
Whether the EV9 will come close to those sorts of sales numbers remains to be seen, but with something like 7000 ‘expressions of interest’ – which can be anything from a visit to a phone call or a click online)
