Is that a space ship? 

Why is everyone trying to mess up the round steering wheel? 😄

The return of boxy concept cars... The designer must be given just a ruler and pencil to work on this concept.

And a piece of grid paper with only perpendicular grid lines... Hence the 45 degree angles and straight boxy lines...

Production model teased. 

Kia offers the first official look at the development of the EV9 three-row electric crossover. While there are spy shots of the model testing, the example in these pictures wears a little less camouflage.

Compared to the concept, the production-spec EV9 loses the chiseled fenders and slab sides. However, the overall shape continues to be upright and boxy.

The EV9 is undergoing final testing at Kia's Namyang research and development center in South Korea. The evaluations include testing the all-wheel-drive system by climbing hills and checking the vehicle's water-wading capability. This suggests the automaker wants the EV to have some rugged ability, rather than just being a three-row people carrier.

Kia will position the EV9 as the brand's new flagship offering. The full debut will happen in the first quarter of 2023.

Look at it carefully again when both the front and rear doors are opened,  the horizontal structure rigidity is solely depending on the roof and the thin floor panel without the presence of B pillars,  i am skeptical about the rigidity of the body.

Good luck to those who buy this if it comes to SG! How to open the doors when parked in small and cramped parking lots?
