2026 Kia EV9 — Kia’s three‑row all‑electric SUV:

🔋 EPA MPGe (City / Highway / Combined)

The EPA hasn’t published a full city/highway breakdown for every EV9 trim yet, but the latest EPA efficiency estimates for the 2026 EV9 lineup (which are the same as recent 2024–25 EV9 in the U.S.) give a good approximate picture: 

📌 Notes on these figures:

• Electric SUVs often score higher MPGe in city driving than highway because regenerative braking recovers energy in stop‑and‑go traffic, boosting efficiency vs. steady high‑speed highway driving. 

• The Light RWD model with the larger 99.8 kWh battery is the most efficient, which is why its MPGe numbers sit at the top of the lineup. 

• AWD (Wind, Land, GT‑Line trims) typically trade a bit of efficiency for traction and performance, so they post slightly lower MPGe figures overall. 

🛣️ EPA Range Context

• EV9 range varies by battery size and drivetrain: the larger 99.8 kWh battery can deliver up to ~304 miles EPA range in the RWD Light Long Range version, while AWD trims are closer to ~280 miles. 

🧠 What This Means Practically

• In city driving, expect the EV9’s regenerative braking to help boost efficiency — particularly in the RWD Light trim.

• On highway trips, MPGe drops somewhat due to sustained higher speeds and greater aerodynamic drag, but efficiency remains comparable to other large three‑row electric SUVs. 

If you want, I can break these estimates down into how many miles you’d likely get on a full charge in typical city vs. highway driving for specific trims.
