Orillia drivers will find a central digital interface in the EV9 combining twin 12.3-inch touchscreens with a separate 5-inch climate display and an optional head-up projection of speed, navigation and warning alerts. A smartphone can lock and unlock the vehicle through Digital Key 2.0, while Kia Connect streams live status updates, enables remote climate preconditioning and applies software updates over the air. The EV9’s 800-volt charging system reaches 80 per cent in around 24 minutes at compatible fast-charging stations, guided by onboard navigation that locates nearby chargers and adapts to local electricity rates.
Advanced driver aids such as blind view monitor and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 ease manoeuvres on narrow streets, while Highway Drive Assist 2 maintains safe following distances and lane position on highways. A hands-free power liftgate reveals over 2,300 litres of cargo space, and tri-zone climate control keeps all occupants comfortable through Ontario’s seasonal changes. The Orillia Kia team provides personalised demonstrations to configure these systems for local routes and battery-care routines.
- Explore the dual high-definition displays in the cockpit to access navigation, media and vehicle settings simultaneously. Adjust the optional head-up display to project critical data directly onto the windscreen for uninterrupted focus on the road.
- Sync your smartphone with Digital Key 2.0 and share secure digital access with family members via the Kia Connect app. Manage remote functions like lock, unlock and cabin preconditioning without a physical key.
- Plan charging stops using the EV9’s integrated navigation, which highlights compatible public chargers and predicts arrival battery levels. Use the smart charging scheduler to align home charging sessions with off-peak electricity rates.
- Activate the blind view monitor and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 to enhance visibility in tight urban settings and manage parallel or perpendicular parking hands-free. Engage Highway Drive Assist 2 for adaptive cruise control and lane centring on highway commutes.
- Engage the power-operated liftgate for hands-free cargo access, then adjust the tri-zone climate controls to maintain individual comfort across three rows. Personalise ambient lighting and cabin settings through the infotainment system to suit each trip.
Integrated connectivity and safety systems streamline daily trips and road journeys alike, ensuring timely departures, rapid recharging and confident manoeuvres in Orillia’s varied weather. Custom setups support driver convenience and maintain battery efficiency for long-term value.
