2026 Kia EV9 Land: Lakewood Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 EV9 Land
The Land starts at $68,900 MSRP (plus $1,645 destination), carrying over the Wind's dual-motor AWD powertrain — 379 combined horsepower, 283-mile EPA range — while adding a higher level of comfort and convenience equipment. The headline addition for 2026 is the new Nightfall Edition package, available at no additional cost in either 6- or 7-passenger form: 20-inch gloss-black wheels, black badging, gloss-black exterior trim, unique interior details, and an exclusive Roadrider Brown paint color. It's the trim where styling becomes the differentiator, not the powertrain.
Same motor, more trim
Mechanically, the Land is a direct continuation of the Wind — same 379-hp dual-motor AWD system, same 99.8-kWh battery, same 283-mile EPA range. The $5,000 step up buys a higher trim level of comfort, convenience, and driver-assist equipment rather than a different powertrain, which makes the Land the trim for buyers who've already decided AWD and this level of power are right for them and are now shopping on interior feel and standard features instead.
The Nightfall Edition, explained
New for 2026, the Nightfall Edition is a no-cost appearance package available on the Land in either seating configuration. It swaps in 20-inch gloss-black wheels, black badging, gloss-black exterior trim pieces, and unique interior design details, and it's the only way to get the exclusive Roadrider Brown exterior color. Because it doesn't cost extra, it's less a decision about budget and more a decision about look — the blacked-out treatment reads noticeably different on the lot than a standard-trim EV9, and it's worth asking DiFeo Kia what's currently in stock or on order, since appearance packages like this tend to move fastest.
Who this trim fits
Buyers who want the Wind's capability with a more finished interior and don't mind paying for it, and stylistically-minded shoppers drawn to the Nightfall Edition's blacked-out look at no premium over a standard Land. It's also a natural stop for anyone cross-shopping the EV9 against a loaded Telluride or Sorento X-Line at the same dealership — the Land sits at a comparable price point with an electric powertrain instead of gas.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the 2026 EV9 Land cost?
MSRP is $68,900 plus the $1,645 destination charge, before New Jersey's 6.625% sales tax, title, and registration. See the pricing & leasing guide for the full breakdown.
Does the Nightfall Edition cost extra?
No — it's a no-cost package on the Land trim, available in 6- or 7-passenger form. The only real trade-off is availability; ask DiFeo Kia what's currently in stock, since distinctive appearance packages often sell through faster than standard trim.
What's different between Land and Wind?
The powertrain and range are identical — 379 hp, 283-mile EPA range on both. Land adds a higher level of comfort and convenience equipment and the option of the Nightfall Edition package, which Wind doesn't offer.
Can I get Roadrider Brown on any other EV9 trim?
No — it's exclusive to the Nightfall Edition package on the Land trim for 2026, according to Kia's own trim documentation.
