Kia is currently offering a substantial rebate of up to $12,500 on select 2026 models of their popular EV9 electric SUV. This new promotion comes on the heels of the 2025 model year selling out quickly and the arrival of the latest 2026 models at dealerships nationwide.
Initially, Kia was already providing a $10,000 customer cash rebate or 0% APR financing to make room for the new models. However, with the introduction of the $7,500 rebate on specific 2026 EV9 Light Long Range models, customers now have the opportunity to stack additional savings on top of the existing offers. This can include a $4,000 Customer Cash bonus on all EV9 trims and a $1,000 conquest bonus for owners of EVs or plug-in hybrids from competing brands, bringing the total potential savings to $12,500.
It’s important to note that the $7,500 rebate only applies to the 2026 Kia EV9 Light Long Range trims with Option Groups 008 and 009, and not all models are eligible for this discount. This new rebate is a response to some EV9 models losing eligibility for the federal EV tax credit, and it is now available for both lease and purchase options.
Comparatively, Hyundai’s new three-row electric SUV, the IONIQ 9, is also offering significant savings this month, with up to $13,000 off. The IONIQ 9 lease price is slightly lower than the EV9, starting at $419 per month for 36 months with $4,999 due at signing. Additionally, the IONIQ 9 boasts more interior space than the EV9.
If you’re interested in test-driving the 2026 Kia EV9 or Hyundai IONIQ 9, you can explore offers from dealers near you. With competitive pricing and generous rebates available, now is a great time to consider making the switch to an electric SUV.
