Over $200 million expansion will allow for assembly of the upcoming all-electric EV9 SUV in conjunction with the four models currently assembled at Kia Georgia (Telluride, Sorento, Sportage and K5)
'Like Telluride, EV9 has the potential to be another 'game changer' for Kia,' said Sean Yoon, president & CEO, Kia North America and Kia America. 'This will be the most sophisticated vehicle that we have ever built and will be a standout in the EV market and on the road. Best of all, it will be assembled in West Point, Georgia.'
EV9 will be the first EV for Kia to be assembled in North America and combines all the best SUV elements of the award-winning Telluride with the best EV elements of the award-winning EV6. EV9 will mix capability with technology and refined elegance.
