The electric SUV was earlier spotted testing in its production form. The new teaser also confirms that the EV9 is likely to retain most of the styling elements it had in its concept form, including the flashy L-shaped DRLs and the pixel LED lights on the grille at the front.

From the sides, the Kia EV9 will retain its boxy features. It will be offered with flush door handles. The teaser does not offer a look at the alloy wheels. However, according to reports, the EV9 will stand on 21-inch alloy wheels while the lower trims will have either 19 or 20-inch wheels. At the rear, Kia EV9 will retain the vertical LED taillights and the small LED light bar on the tailgate.
