Kia EV9 – 2026 Winner

Kia has a family hauling electric SUV of its own, the EV9, and it receives some updates to keep it fresh for 2026.  Performance has been ramped up thanks to the new GT trim with over 500 HP, while new Nightfall editions bring more style. Canadians will appreciate the new terrain modes for all-wheel drive models, making sure you’re ready to drive through all weather conditions.

Juror Matt St-Pierre had this to say in his Kia EV9 review published in Motorillustrated.com:

“To sum it up: for the money, for the size, for the real-world range, and for my day-to-day life, the 2025 Kia EV9 is simply unbeatable. And I’ve driven its rivals. This thing works. And for now, I can’t think of another three-row EV I’d rather live with. I’ll be back with more updates. For now, I’m off to Costco. Let’s hope TP’s not on sale again.”
