Kia EV9 electric SUV caught testing in spy photos from Germany
The good news is, the production EV9 looks quite faithful to the show-stopping concept. We can see that details such as the columns of vertical LEDs in front and angled taillights have made it to the prototype. The boxy profile remains, but it appears to ride just a little bit closer to the ground than the concept. Sadly, the chunky and funky three-spoke wheels have given way to four-spokes that aren't quite as bold.
Details which have carried over include the kink in the C-pillar and the prism-like/ sheetmetal behind the front wheels hinting at the angle-cut fender flares. However, everything is just a bit toned down. The roofline, fenders, and wheel well cladding are a bit rounder and lack some of the crispness of the concept. And of course, concessions like door handles, thick B-pillars, and a rear door that's no longer rear-hinged all kind of take away from the impact of the show car.
