The 2024 Kia EV9, a brand new midsize electrical SUV, earns a High Security Choose award from the Insurance coverage Institute for Freeway Security.
To qualify for the 2024 High Security Choose award, autos want good scores within the small overlap entrance, unique average overlap entrance and up to date facet exams. Different necessities embrace an appropriate or good ranking within the pedestrian entrance crash prevention analysis and acceptable- or good-rated headlights throughout all trim ranges.
Automobiles constructed after January, when Kia adjusted the goal of the headlights included with the Land and GT-Line trims to cut back glare, meet all these necessities. The midsize SUV comes with an ordinary entrance crash prevention system that earns a very good ranking within the Institute’s pedestrian take a look at, and the 2 accessible headlight variations are actually rated good.
Automobiles constructed earlier than February don’t qualify for an award, as the sooner headlights supplied with the Land and GT-Line trims earn a poor ranking.
The EV9 misses out on the higher-tier High Security Choose+ award as a result of it has not undergone the up to date average overlap entrance take a look at. A suitable or good ranking in that analysis is required for the “plus.”
