Kia EV9 Light: what to know
The 2025 Kia EV9 Light is a 7-seat three-row SUV with an EPA range of 230 mi from a 76 kWh battery, starting at $54,900 MSRP.
On a DC fast charger it peaks at 210 kW and completes 10–80% in roughly 24 minutes — competitive for everyday use and reasonable on longer trips.
It uses 33 kWh per 100 miles, so at the US-average home rate of $0.16/kWh it costs about 5.3¢ per mile to fuel — roughly $686 a year at 13,000 miles.
Kia EV9 Light Towing Capacity
- Max towing capacity
- 5,000 lb
- Tow package
- Optional tow / trailer package
The 2025 Kia EV9 Light is rated to tow up to 5,000 lb — enough for a light travel trailer, a loaded single-axle utility trailer, or a small boat on its trailer. The max rating requires the manufacturer's optional tow / trailer package, so check the build sheet before assuming you can hitch up.
Independent towing-range data for the Kia EV9 Light is limited; as a general rule, EVs in this weight class lose 30–50% of unloaded range while towing near their max rating, so plan DC-fast-charge stops more often than usual on long hauls.
Towing capacity from the manufacturer. Range-loss figures marked “est.” are estimates based on corroborated third-party road tests at or near max tow; real-world results vary with trailer aero, grade, speed, and weather.
