Your long-range, eco-friendly travel companion has arrived with the fully electric 2025 Kia EV9.

The color options for the base EV9 are Pebble Gray, Aurora Black Pearl, and Snow White Pearl. In the cabin, the upholstery is Black/Dark Gray SynTex, a durable material perfect for active lifestyles. more Efficiency and Charging The Light RWD has an estimated driving range of 230 miles on a fully charged electric motor. The base EV9 gets 99 MPGe in urban settings and 77 MPGe on the freeway.

As for charging options, the standard Level 1 charge cable can restore the battery in about 64 hours, which might be ideal if you don't drive your vehicle frequently.

When it comes to road safety, your vehicle's headlights are the key player. If you're wondering whether it's time to replace your headlights, here are some thoughts from your local Kia dealer on how to know when your Kia needs new headlights, as well as the benefits of upgrading. Does Your Kia Need New Headlights? Advice from Your Kia Dealer Dimming Headlights Dimming headlights are one of the biggest signs that your Kia's headlights need replacing. Over time, the bulbs in your headlights can wear out, causing them to emit less light. This gradual decrease in brightness can significantly impact your visibility on the road, especially during nighttime driving or in adverse weather conditions. This reduced visibility greatly increases the risk of accidents. more Yellowed or Foggy Lenses Another clear indicator that your headlights require attention is when they appear to have yellowed or foggy lenses. These cloudy lenses can substantially reduce the effectiveness of your headlights. When light passes through hazy lenses, it scatters and diffuses, diminishing the reach and clarity of the beam. This can compromise your ability to see clearly. Flickering or Inconsistent Light Headlights that produce flickering or inconsistent light pose a significant danger to both you and other drivers on the road. Such issues may be caused by faulty wiring, a failing bulb, or a malfunctioning headlight assembly. Regardless of the root cause, it's crucial to have these problems inspected and resolved promptly. Flickering headlights can distract other drivers, impair your own vision, and increase the risk of accidents. Uneven or Scattered Beam If your Kia's headlights have an uneven or scattered beam pattern, it can seriously compromise your visibility while driving. A well-functioning headlight should provide a uniform beam pattern on the road, illuminating the area directly in front of your vehicle and the surroundings evenly. An irregular beam pattern can make it challenging to judge distances and detect potential hazards. Compliance with Safety Regulations Many states require vehicles to undergo safety inspections, which often include checks on headlights. If your Kia fails inspection due to faulty or dim headlights, you'll need to replace them to comply with regulations and ensure your safety on the road. Non-compliance can lead to legal issues and fines, so it's essential to address any headlight-related concerns promptly. Don't take your headlights for granted; if you've noticed any signs that your Kia's headlights are failing, visit Kia of Coatesville or give us a call to schedule an appointment today. Our experienced technicians here in Coatesville, PA, can assess your Kia's headlights and provide you with top-quality replacement options. Prioritize maintenance of your headlights so you can see the road and keep driving safely!

Kias are engineered for safety in all road conditions. Here are several of the advanced safety features that come as standard or optional on 2025 Kia models. more Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist With a windshield-mounted radar or camera, your car monitors the road ahead and detects sudden collision threats. The driver is then clearly warned of the danger. Your car will also brake automatically to avoid or minimize the impact. Emergency Stop Signal This feature alerts the driver of the vehicle behind if you ever need to slow down or stop suddenly. When you brake abruptly or the emergency brakes activate, the rear brake indicators blink rapidly. Thus warned, the following driver is more likely to stop in time. Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist The blind spots on both sides of a car pose a threat if they prevent you from noticing an approaching vehicle. With this feature active, both visual and audible alerts can let you know whenever a car, truck, motorcycle, or cyclist enters either blind spot. If you're about to change lanes with another vehicle in your blind spot, gentle corrective steering will be applied to keep you safe until the danger has passed. Lane Departure Warning A distracted or drowsy driver might unintentionally drift toward the neighboring lane. With lane departure warning active, your car will notice and alert you to bring your full attention back to the road. Lane Change Assist Feature When you do intend to change lanes, this feature can handle the maneuver safely for you. You just need to keep your hands on the steering wheel and indicate that you wish to move to the neighboring lane. If you take your hands from the wheel during the crossover, you'll receive a visual and audible alert. Remote Smart Parking Assist All the stress and risk of navigating in and out of tight parking spaces is removed by this clever feature. Using only your key fob, you can stand outside your car and command the vehicle to either enter or exit a narrow parking space. This minimizes the risk of accidentally bumping other cars. Smart Cruise Control This feature reduces driver fatigue by taking over certain aspects of driving on the highway. It allows your car to automatically control the gas, brakes, and steering to maintain a pre-set distance from the vehicles ahead. It can even bring you to a complete stop in traffic and then start up again within three seconds of stopping. See These Features in Action at Your Kia Dealership If these features pique your interest, drop by to see how they work firsthand. We'd be delighted to provide a tour and test drive of your favorite Kia model. There are also many more advanced safety and driver-support Kia features to explore.

The engine produces energy, which the transmission directs to the wheels so they move at the required speed. Transmission components can wear out, leading to potentially serious problems. As your Kia dealership, we want to tell you a few signs you need to visit us for a transmission service more Old Transmission Fluid Transmission fluid fills the transmission, and it helps reduce wear and tear on transmission components. The gears depend on friction to work effectively, and the fluid provides a friction-resistant covering that enables them to glide smoothly rather than grind against each other. The fluid also provides the vital hydraulic power that allows the gears to shift. Transmission fluid becomes less efficient as it gets older, and this can lead to increased wear on the gears, particularly the gear teeth. It also provides less hydraulic power, which can cause slower shifting or gear slipping. This fluid is usually replaced every 30,000 to 80,000 miles, depending on your Kia model. Fluid replacement is relatively quick, as we'll drain the old fluid and install a new filter. We then seal the transmission and refill the fluid. Gear Slipping We mentioned gear slipping above, and it can be extremely dangerous. Gear slipping happens when the transmission drops to its previous gear without warning or instructions from the transmission control module. If this happens, you'll hear the tortured sound of metal as the transmission resists the sudden, unexpected shift. If you're driving and the gears drop back to Park, your Kia will instantly stop, and this could cause an accident. A slipping transmission can happen if the fluid is old or there's a leak and you're losing fluid. In either case, the remaining fluid can't provide enough power to push the gears into their new position as the transmission shifts, and they will slip back to their previous position. It can also be caused by worn transmission bands or a fault with the transmission control module. We'll find the cause of the trouble and repair it. Worn Gear Synchronizers If you have a manual transmission, the gear synchronizers can wear out. This can happen due to age, but also if you regularly ride the clutch or shift gears fast and forcefully. The synchronizers ensure the gear you're about to shift into moves at the same speed as your present gear to allow smooth shifting. If your synchronizers are worn, you'll hear noises as you shift gears, or you might experience hard, abrupt shifting. Our technicians will examine the synchronizers and replace them if necessary. If your transmission isn't working correctly, contact us ASAP at Kia of Coatesville in Coatesville, PA.
