The larger battery offers a maximum driving range of up to 330 miles, which is excellent for a three-row SUV.

The interior of the EV9 is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for passengers and cargo. The second-row seats can be folded down for additional cargo space, and the third-row seats can be folded flat into the floor.
The EV9 comes with a variety of standard and available features, including a panoramic sunroof, a head-up display, a Harman Kardon sound system, and a suite of driver-assistance features.
