Pros & cons

Strengths

  • 3.6kW V2L via CCS and two interior sockets as standard

Weaknesses

  • 316 miles WLTP — 20 miles less than Earth AWD despite the same battery
  • At £81,995 it is the most expensive EV9 by a significant margin
  • No V2H or V2G capability despite the large battery

Kia EV9 GT-Line S AWD FAQs

What does the GT-Line S add over the Earth AWD?

The GT-Line S adds 21-inch alloys (vs 20-inch on Earth), a Meridian premium audio system, a larger 12.3-inch rear entertainment screen, ambient lighting upgrades, and sportier exterior styling. The powertrain and charging hardware are identical.

Why is the GT-Line S range lower than the Earth AWD?

The larger 21-inch alloys increase rolling resistance slightly, contributing to the 20-mile reduction in WLTP range. Both variants use the same 98.8kWh battery and AWD powertrain — the difference is entirely due to wheel size and tyre rolling characteristics.

Can the EV9 GT-Line S power equipment off-site via V2L?

Yes. The 3.6kW V2L output is available via the CCS port using an adapter, and via two interior sockets. This is useful for tools, catering equipment, or camping appliances. The car cannot power a home's circuits directly without V2H capability.

Is the EV9 GT-Line S eligible for the 4% BIK rate?

Yes, as a battery electric vehicle it qualifies for the 4% BIK rate in 2026/27. For a 40% taxpayer, monthly BIK on the £81,995 list price is approximately £273 — far lower than a comparably priced diesel SUV would attract.
