Electric vehicles are slowly becoming the preferred model because not only can they let you save costs in fuel, but it is also environmentally friendly. Automakers are already adding more EV models under their belt, and Kia is among those who plan on releasing another model soon.
Reserve Yours Now
Reserving a vehicle that is yet to be released is not a new practice. Even Tesla is still doing it now. If you want to get your hands on Kia's all-electric 2024 EV9 SUV as soon as you can, then you'll be happy to know that the company is already taking reservations.
Interested buyers won't even have to wait long since the vehicle is set to arrive in this year's fourth quarter. Of course, prospective buyers will have to pay a reservation fee of $750. Not to worry, it will be added to the purchase price.
With Kia's flagship model having a better infotainment system and software compared to its other models, it's expected that the vehicle will have a heavy price tag. On the contrary, it's actually cheaper than similar cars in the market.
According to Tech Crunch, the 2024 EV9 SUV starts at $54,900. Compared to other all-electric SUVs, the Rivian R1S costs $78,000, which is significantly higher in price. The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is slightly more expensive at $79,050.
The destination fee for the Kia EV SUV is at $1,495. Once the purchase or lease is finalized, the company will provide a gift package that includes a 3-year prepaid Kia Maintenance Plan, a 1-year subscription to Digital Features and Services, and a portable charger.
To make a reservation, you will need to first select your preferred EV9 trim and color. You can find a participating dealer that's nearest to you, submit the refundable reservation fee, and the dealer will contact you to confirm your information. You can also add optional packages in the process.
