How the Kia EV9 Earth AWD compares to similar EVs on battery, range, home charging speed and V2X capability.
EV9 Earth AWD
Kia CCS
A genuine seven-seat EV with 336 miles of range, 800V charging, and 2,500kg towing — at a price that reflects all of it.
EV9 Air RWD
Kia CCS
Six-seat RWD entry model saves around £8,000 if AWD and the seventh seat are not essential
EV9 GT-Line S AWD
Kia CCS
Top-trim adds sports styling, larger screens, and enhanced sound for around £8,500 more
Q4 e-tron 55 e-tron quattro
Audi CCS
Smaller five-seat Audi AWD at a lower price if third-row seating is not needed
Yes. The Earth AWD is a seven-seat model with a usable third row. The seats fold flat into the floor when not in use. Third-row space is adequate for children; adults on longer journeys will find the rearmost seats restrictive.
Kia rates towing at up to 2,500kg. Real-world range when towing a fully laden caravan or trailer at motorway speeds is typically 150–180 miles from the 98.8kWh battery. Regular 24-minute rapid-charge stops are needed for long towing journeys.
Both use the same 800V architecture and 233kW DC peak. The 10–80% time is the same 24 minutes for both, despite the Earth's larger 98.8kWh battery. The Earth adds AWD and an extra 28 miles of WLTP range over the Air.
It qualifies for the 4% BIK rate in 2026/27. For a higher-rate taxpayer, monthly BIK tax on a £73,495 car at 4% is still well under £250 a month, compared with several hundred pounds for a diesel equivalent at 30–35% BIK.
