I just came across the 2026 Kia EV9, and I’m genuinely excited about this. As an architect focused on sustainable urban design, the fact it’s one of the first fully electric full-size seven-seaters on the market matters a lot. Families and carpool groups often cling to ICE vehicles because they need the space. This gives them a viable electric alternative. It’s not just the decent range or well-finished interior, though those are perks. It’s that a mainstream brand is making practical, spacious EVs that can go head-to-head with premium ICE models. That’s exactly the shift we need to cut urban transport emissions.
