From official confirmations and spy photos, news of a sporty EV9 variant has spread like wildfire. Although the EV9 GT-Line boasts a 4.5 second 0-60 mph time, apparently for some rambunctious owners, that wasn't enough. As official details are sparse, we don't know everything about the EV9 GT as of yet, but here's what we know here at SB KIA Manassas, VA! Read on so that you can be prepared for your next ride.

What We Know So Far

Being the second KIA EV to dawn the GT name, the EV9 GT can be seen sporting bright-green brake calipers reminiscent of the EV6 GT's exterior. Speaking of which, the EV9 GT is speculated to receive the same dual motor all-wheel drive setup found in the KIA EV6 GT. To refresh your memory, the EV6 GT outputs a staggering 576 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque. We can only speculate how this near 200 horsepower upgrade will affect the 5,000 lb+ three-row SUV's handling and driving feel, but expect plenty of performance enhancing brakes, suspension, and other bits to be standard.
