Electric car transformation has gained great momentum all over the world. Almost all of the companies on the market say they will complete this process between 2030 and 2035 and shelve the internal combustion engines. In fact, some brands such as Fiat have made this promise for the relatively nearer future, such as 2028. KIA, on the other hand, offers a perspective on how the electric world will be with autonomous driving with models such as the EV9.
Automode technology will come with KIA EV9
KIA, in its statement yesterday, predicts that it will launch 14 electric car models by 2027, and a total of 4 million vehicles will be launched by 2030. In addition, he announced that his latest concept vehicle, the EV9, is the first car to use Automode autonomous driving technology, which he showed at the LA Auto Show in November.
But the company plans to increase its effectiveness in the market from today. For this reason, he says that in 2022, in addition to internal combustion engines, 160 thousand vehicles that will have only electric motors will be sold, and this number will expand to 807 thousand in 2026 and then to 1.2 million in 2030.
In fact, KIA continues to work on not only electric cars but also pickup truck concepts. But it will make its main move with the EV9, which it plans to introduce by 2023. This vehicle throws stones at Tesla’s CyberTruck model with its Range Rover-like muscular design language and 5 meters long.
The KIA EV9, which is said to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 5 seconds, promises a range of up to 540 kilometers with a full charge. In addition, with a short quick charge of 6 minutes, it will offer a usage opportunity of up to 100 kilometers. When we look at the connection features, software updates can be made automatically and easily thanks to OTA and FoD support.
In addition, it is stated that it will be the first model to come with Automode technology. For this reason, with the support of the ‘Highway Driving Pilot’ in the vehicle, a 3rd level autonomous driving opportunity will be provided in the first place. However, it is emphasized that it can support higher, therefore software support is very important.
