Kia comfort

THE Kia EV9 claims to offer superior cabin comfort even in the most extreme conditions.

In the development pro‐cess, Kia vehicles are tested in extreme heat and cold to ensure ‐ among other things ‐ their heating, venti‐lation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are up to the challenge.

The thermal system of the all ‐ new Kia EV9 in ‐cludes a heat pump, cli ‐mate control system, and defrost and de ‐ icing fea ‐tures.

In addition, a new, user‐friendly climate control panel and improved roof vents offer customers max‐imum comfort and conve‐nience.

Engineers tested these features in wide ‐ ranging environments such as northern Sweden and southern Spain to ensure maximum performance and efficiency, even in ex‐ treme ambient tempera ‐tures.

“The all ‐ new Kia EV9

proves customers don’t have to make sacrifices to be sustainable,” said Richard Peiler, Group Man‐ager HVAC & PT Cooling at Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Centre.

“With these high ‐ tech features, the EV9 sets new standards in the e‐SUV seg‐ment, delivering all the comfort and convenience of a modern SUV with none of the emissions at the tailpipe.”
