2027 Kia EV9 Adds Standard Features to Land Trim With Minor Price Increases
Land trim gains torque boost and blacked-out interior previously exclusive to Nightfall Edition.
The 2027 Kia EV9 lineup sees marginal price increases across all trims, with the Land trim gaining standard features that were previously exclusive to the 2026 Nightfall Edition.
What Happened
The 2027 Kia EV9 Land trim now starts at $71,635, a $1,090 increase from the previous model year. This price bump includes several features that were optional or limited to the 2026 Nightfall Edition, such as gloss black 20-inch wheels, gloss black exterior trim, and a blacked-out interior. The Land trim also gains a torque boost function, which temporarily increases the dual-motor powertrain’s torque from 443 to 516 pound-feet, reducing the zero-to-60-miles-per-hour time from 5.7 seconds to 5 seconds flat.
Why It Matters
While the base pricing has risen slightly, the 2027 EV9 Land is $410 more affordable than the comparable 2026 EV9 Nightfall Edition, offering value to buyers seeking the blacked-out aesthetic and performance boost. Other trims also see modest changes: the base Light trim’s MSRP rose by $90 to $56,635 (short-range) and $59,635 (Long Range), while the Wind trim increased by $190. The top-tier GT-Line model’s price increased by $90 to $73,635, with no other mechanical or feature changes. Range, charging performance, and powertrain outputs remain unchanged across the lineup.
The Bottom Line
The 2027 Kia EV9 lineup features marginal price hikes and standardizes desirable aesthetic and performance features on the Land trim, positioning it as a better value against the discontinued Nightfall Edition while maintaining the same core specifications for range and power.
