Kia honored with five wins in 2024 iF Design Awards

Kia achieved notable success at the 2024 iF Design Awards, which saw five separate elements of the company’s recent programs recognised by the renowned design forum’s panel of expert judges.

The new Kia EV9, already an award winner on multiple fronts, added to its honourable results with exclusive Gold award status. Presented only to the top 75 winning designs worldwide, the additional accolade demonstrates the continuing impact of Kia’s ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy.

Harnessing the creative tension generated by the divergent values of nature and modernity to deliver a harmonious whole, Opposites United provides Kia’s designers with a framework through which to fuse a unique combination of sleek, sculptural shapes and assured, assertive geometry, delivering a strikingly contemporary yet gracefully serene end product.

The EV9’s exterior exudes confidence, clarity and calmness with its upright stance, clear-cut lines and flat surfaces. The signature Digital Tiger Face showcases a visionary and futuristic look, accentuated by the Digital Pattern Lighting Grille and vertical headlamps.

The interior, characterised by a flat floor and long wheelbase, takes advantage of the e-GMP platform to provide excellent spaciousness, while components such as the seats and centre console are designed to give a refined feel and further maximise the sense of space.
