The range-topping ‘GT-Line S’ variant starts from £75,995, and offers the same dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain, up to 308-mile potential range (WLTP combined), and seven-seat layout as the ‘GT-Line’ variant. In addition, this model features the following as standard:
- 21-inch alloy wheels
- Front sunroof with tilting and sliding functions
- Second row sunroof with sliding blind
- Head-up display
- 14-speaker Meridian Premium Sound System
‘GT-Line S’ models are offered with the same choice of standard and premium exterior paint finishes as the ‘GT-Line’ model.
‘GT-Line S’ models are also exclusively available with a six-seat interior layout, featuring second row swivel seats. This model is available from £78,745, and replaces the three-seat middle bench with two individual ‘captain’s chair’ seats with adjustable arm rests. These can move fore and aft and recline further, individually, for maximum comfort on longer drives. When the car is stopped, middle row seats can swivel outwards towards the doors – making it easier, for example, to load younger children into a car seat. They can also turn around 180-degrees to face the third row, creating a social space for passengers, perhaps while the car is stopped to charge.
As seen on the original Kia EV9 Concept from 2021, the six-seat model is sold exclusively with a Pacific Matt Blue exterior finish.
