Kia America will return to the Super Bowl next month with a 60-second spot which builds on the fast-growing brand’s long history of award-winning creative campaigns and reinforces Kia’s position as a sustainable mobility leader. The spot set to air in Super Bowl LVIII marks Kia’s 15th appearance in the most watched annual television event. This year, Kia will spotlight the all-electric EV9, the first mass-market three row EV SUV in the U.S. The 2024 Kia EV9 is on sale now with limited inventory and will be available in all 50 states[1]. As the flagship of Kia’s global Plan S strategy and the first Kia EV to support both V2L[2] with its onboard power generator and V2H capabilities[3], in the future, the 2024 EV9 could offer the transformative potential to unlock bidirectional charging for properly equipped homes. The EV9 was recently named North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™ by the North American Car of the Year (NACTOY) jury. This is the third occasion in five years that the NACTOY jury has named a Kia vehicle as its top choice in the category, and the second win for a Kia electric vehicle (EV). Later this year, the Kia EV9 is expected to be assembled in the U.S. at Kia’s manufacturing facility in West Point, Georgia.
