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.

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.

Kia came to SEMA with a reworked concept from CES, the PV5 WKNDR van. It was enough to make vanlifers forget about the new VW ID. Buzz, maybe even the Mercedes Sprinter. The Kia concept has a modular interior that makes 150 cubic feet of space downright livable and appealing,

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.

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