At the recent New York International Auto Show, the Kia EV9 was honored with the prestigious title of 'World Car of the Year 2024'. This recognition puts the Kia EV9 at the forefront of automotive innovation, as it wins the coveted award, beating out notable competitors such as the Volvo EX30 and BYD Seal.

The accolade not only highlights the EV9's superior design and performance but also highlights Kia's commitment to advancing electric vehicle technology. The Kia EV9 also won the 'World Electric Car of the Year' award, further establishing its position in the electric vehicle sector.

Kia's achievement was celebrated by Paul Philpott, president and CEO of Kia UK, who commented, "This is great recognition for such an important vehicle in our ever-evolving line-up. It is made all the more important by the recognition of such respected journalists from the UK and around the world." I'm very proud of the Kia team for bringing such a sensational car to market – we're quickly becoming a true leader in electric vehicles.

" The World Car Awards, judged by an international panel of automotive experts, underscore the significant impact of the EV9. The win marks a continuing trend of success for Korean automotive brands, following wins by the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Ioniq 5 in the previous two years, and cements Kia's position as a key player in the global shift towards sustainable mobility.
