The Kia EV9 ADVNTR adds typical off-road accoutrements to the three-row SUV, including a 3-inch suspension lift, new wheels and tires, light bars, and a roof rack. Kia isn't discussing production possibilities, but the concept could serve as inspiration for the aftermarket industry that is SEMA's primary audience.

KIA has marked its return to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas with the unveiling of two all-electric concept vehicles, including the bold EV9 ADVNTR Concept SUV. Designed by the KIA Design Center America (KDCA), the EV9 ADVNTR is tailored for outdoor enthusiasts, blending rugged capability with modern electric performance.

The two Kia concepts on display in Vegas this week both focus on off-road driving. We have a reworked version of the EV9 electric SUV, and we have a modified PV5 van. The latter was presented at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas last January. The models are called EV9 ADVNTR and PV5 WKNDER.

Kia just debuted a ruggedized three-row EV SUV based on a production vehicle and a far-from-production EV adventure van concept at the annual SEMA Show.

Two concepts take the stage at Kia's booth at SEMA and prompt the possibilities with EVs as they become more common.
