Texas Auto Writers Association Names the Kia EV9 the “2024 Electric Vehicle of Texas”

They say everything is bigger in Texas, but with the Kia EV9, perhaps the saying should be “everything is bigger in the Kia EV9.” As Kia’s first dedicated three-row EV SUV, the EV9 offers extensive space for adventure, featuring more legroom and cargo room than many competing large SUVs.
Texans’ preference for ample space makes the Kia EV9 a top choice for the Lone Start state, a fact underscored by its latest accolade. The Kia EV9 was named “Electric Vehicle of Texas” at the 2024 Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) Auto Roundup. This all-electric three-row SUV also secured top honors in the Performance SUV, Mid-size CUV, and Electric Vehicle categories.
The annual competition gathered over 20 TAWA automotive journalists from across the U.S. for a two-day evaluation of the industry’s leading trucks, SUVs, and CUVs. The participating TAWA journalists assessed the vehicles based on a broad range of criteria. After driving each vehicle on predetermined street courses, TAWA members voted on the top vehicles in various categories. Journalists were encouraged to drive the vehicles as if they were simulating their own daily driving conditions.
“The Kia EV9’s trophy case continues to grow and being named the ’Electric Vehicle of Texas’ from the 2024 TAWA Auto Roundup is further evidence that the first mainstream three-row EV SUV has wide appeal,” said Steven Center, CEO & EVP, Kia America. “Texans love their SUVs and the TAWA members are a discerning group who are well aware of that fact, which makes EV9’s recognition all the more significant for the Kia brand.” [1]
