Kia’s newest special edition SUV actually brings real performance upgrades—not just cosmetic changes. Unveiled at the 2024 New York Auto Show, the EV9 Nightfall Edition stands out with aggressive black styling and a torque boost that delivers quicker acceleration.
Kia EV9 Nightfall Edition Gets Blackout Look
Unlike many special editions that offer little more than a new paint job, Kia has gone further with the Nightfall Edition of its EV9. Based on the mid-range EV9 Land (available in both six- and seven-seat layouts), the Nightfall package adds:
-
Gloss-black front grille, skid plates, mirrors, and roof rails
-
A dark-themed, premium black leather interior
-
A unique set of 20-inch alloy wheels
-
Exclusive Roadrider Brown paint (though the display model wore Glacial Pearl White)
Inside, the usual gray-black interior is swapped for an all-black cabin, including the headliner. The seats feature a sportier stitch pattern, enhancing the performance vibe. 🧵🖤
Kia EV9 Nightfall Edition Delivers More Power
The big news? The Nightfall Edition gets a performance boost. It borrows the Boost Mode from the GT-Line trim (or the $900 add-on for standard Land models), taking the dual-motor setup from:
-
443 lb-ft of torque ➡️ 516 lb-ft
-
0–60 mph time: 5.7 seconds ➡️ as quick as 4.5 seconds 🏁
With 379 hp still on tap, this torque surge makes it a much more responsive SUV, especially off the line.
Is the Kia EV9 Nightfall Edition Worth Buying?
Kia hasn’t announced pricing yet, but since the EV9 Land starts at $69,900, and the GT-Line tops out at $73,900, we can expect the Nightfall Edition to land somewhere in between.
With its bold visuals and real performance enhancement, this is one special edition that finally feels special. No gimmicks—just power and presence.
