The EV9 GT’s Sheer Versatility

While the EV9 GT is heavily focused on performance, it’s still a great family vehicle.

• An Unconventional Design: The new EV9 breaks all the rules, since usually, for a car to go this fast, it needs to be on the smaller end. This SUV packs three rows though, so it’s still a great choice for a family model. It’s also capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds, and it has 7.8 inches of ground clearance, so it’s a versatile SUV.
• The EV9 GT’s Tech: This model offers a lot of tech, as it comes with a 12.3-inch Display Screen, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 with Car, Cyclist, and Pedestrian Detection, Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control-Curve, and more.

The EV9 GT performs differently from the regular EV9, but its eye-catching design also sets it apart. If you’re looking for an SUV that stands out on the road, then the EV9’s bright accents and unique features should do the trick.

• Signature GT Elements: The GT trim makes itself known on the road with its exclusive design elements. This includes High-Performance Continental Tires that are wrapped around exclusive 21-inch Alloy Wheels, Neon Green Calipers, the “ENERGETIC” Lighting Pattern, and more.
• Styling Your Interior: On the inside of this model, you’ll have Bright Green Accents, Deeply Bolstered Sport Seats that are trimmed with Alcantara Suede Inserts, and the GT-Exclusive Steering Wheel and Dashboard Trim. The real star of the show though, is the EV9 GT’s unique Ambient Lighting Scheme. This adds a lot more character to the SUV and it helps it stand out from the other SUVs on the road.
