IRVINE, CA, January 23, 2025 – The 2025 Kia EV9 has been named the Edmunds Top Rated 2025 Electric SUV, solidifying its position as a standout in the electric SUV segment. Praised for its outstanding combination of utility, value, and spaciousness, the EV9 once again impressed Edmunds experts, cementing its status as a benchmark for excellence among EV SUVs.
“We are honored to have the EV9 recognized as the Edmunds Top Rated 2025 Electric SUV yet again,” said Steven Center, COO and EVP, Kia America. “This accolade highlights the EV9’s excellence and reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative and world-class EVs.”
Edmunds Top Rated Award winners are selected by the Edmunds editorial team based on informed opinions gathered during its rigorous vehicle testing and ranking process, including results from the Edmunds EV Range Test and Edmunds EV Charging Test for EVs in consideration.
