The EV9 comes in both six- and seven-seat formats. As for the interior, it has an open and floating panoramic panel and dual 12.3-inch touchscreens that are meshed into a 5-inch segment display. The display has a navigation and telematics (AVNT) display. It also has hidden touch buttons that control a variety of functions such as heating and ventilation, start and stop, and quick navigation access.
The SUV is capable of fast charging at 350 KW to cover 100 km in just six minutes. It also comes with reverse charging from vehicle to load. The company claims that the EV9 will have a target range of 543 km and its battery capacity will be in the range of 100 kWh.
