The winner of the 2024 AM Awards EV of the Year category, sponsored by Diamondbrite, is the Kia EV9.

As with other car categories in the AM Awards, this winner was picked by AM's dealer readers.

Kia’s model range has taken great strides forward in recent years, with its core line-up becoming more advanced, more stylish and more desirable.

For the first time, Kia is offering compelling alternatives to the conventional premium-badge players and, in the case of the EV9 a completely unrivalled proposition.

Its launch of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on bespoke EV platforms has elevated the brand even further, firstly with the EV6 and now the EV9.
