Kia's Telluride three-row SUV took the automotive world by storm when it arrived in 2019, winning our 2020 SUV of the Year award and selling like used droids at a Jawa convention—and it remains white-hot even now. It's no wonder, then, that Kia once again leaned on an upright, T-square aesthetic for its latest electric vehicle concept, the EV9 full-size SUV.

Debuting at the Los Angeles auto show alongside corporate cousin Hyundai's SEVEN concept, the EV9 has no internal-combustion analogue, being a pure electric vehicle on the company's Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). No detailed powertrain specs are cited, but little brother EV6, the company's first EV-only production model and a fine-driving machine, has 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque.
