Double award win for Kia EV9
- Awarded ‘Best Seven-Seater Car’ at Parkers New Car Awards 2025.
- Snapping up ‘Best Large Electric Car’ award from the 2025 Carbuyer Awards.
Celebrated for its real-world range, incredible standard tech list and simple comfort. The Kia EV9 is proving itself to be the next big family car to have.
Manufacturers have been sweeping up awards left, right and centre recently. Which is always a great way to narrow down many of the options for our next cars. These awards help nudge us in the right direction, while showcasing the best of each category.
In this case, the Kia EV9 took away ‘Best Seven-Seater Award’, in the Parkers New Car Awards 2025. It also won the ‘Best Large Electric Car’ award in the 2025 Carbuyer awards.
Paul Philpott, President & CEO, Kia UK Limited commented: “It’s great to add another award to the EV9’s trophy cabinet. The EV9 is an incredibly important car for Kia and we’re delighted to see it recognised in such a hotly competitive category. Fending off not just fully electric, but also established petrol and diesel rivals, this award is a true testament to the EV9’s versatility and family-centric approach.”
Keith Adams, Editor of Parkers said: “Kia played a blinder with the EV9. It’s as comfortable and well-equipped as a Range Rover, but it costs about half as much. To sweeten the deal, it’s built on the Hyundai Group’s industry-leading EV platform which means it has a real-world range of around 300 miles and charge times that are almost as convenient as refuelling a petrol car.
“It's also packed with party tricks, such as a bi-directional charging function. Such tech allows you to use a portion of the car’s battery capacity to power laptops and camping gadgets on the move using the three-pin sockets in the cabin. That’s great for keeping your kids entertained on long family trips.”
With features like these and a reliably good range, it's easy to see why families are upgrading to the impressive EV9. With intuitive safety systems your family will be in good hands on every journey. The systems include an impressive selection of highway, parking and anti-collision assistance.
Partner the safety you need with the convenience you want. With its seamless speedy charging, electric travel becomes a thing of ease and enjoyment.
The Kia EV9’s achievements this year follow the manufacturer’s success of previous years. Just last year, the Kia Niro took centre stage winning a number of awards, among them the coveted ‘Car of the Year’.
With many cars deserving of awards, it could help you take the plunge to choose your next car. Take a look at which awards were picked up by the Renault Scenic E-Tech and Renault Clio here.
