The short answer
Through the end of the year, a 2026 Kia EV9 can get 0% APR for 60 months from Kia, a $399/mo Emich lease on the Wind AWD, and Colorado’s $750 tax credit. The credit only applies if you take delivery by December 31, 2026. From January 1, 2027, the EV9 earns $0 because Colorado’s price cap drops to $50,000 and the EV9 starts at $54,900.
The three EV9 offers, side by side
For 60 months through Kia Finance America, for qualified buyers. Delivery by Jan. 4, 2027.
24 months, $3,999 down plus tax. Emich special on stock #29904.
36 months, $3,999 down plus tax. Emich special on stock #029882.
On top of either one, Colorado adds a $750 state tax credit on a new EV9 you buy, or lease for at least two years, if you take delivery by Dec. 31, 2026. Income-qualified buyers who trade in an older gas vehicle may also get up to $9,000 from Vehicle Exchange Colorado (VXC), which isn’t changing in 2027.
Why December 31 matters for the EV9
Colorado sets the credit by the date you take possession of the vehicle, not the date you sign. Under House Bill 26-1289, EVs with an MSRP over $50,000 stop qualifying on January 1, 2027. Every 2026 EV9 trim is above that line:
| 2026 EV9 trim | MSRP | Delivered by Dec. 31, 2026 | Delivered in 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light RWD | $54,900 | $750 | $0 |
| Light Long Range RWD | $57,900 | $750 | $0 |
| Wind AWD | $63,900 | $750 | $0 |
| Land AWD | $68,900 | $750 | $0 |
| GT-Line AWD | $71,900 | $750 | $0 |
Kia America starting MSRP, excluding the $1,645 destination charge. Colorado measures its cap against MSRP, not selling price. Details on our Colorado EV credit page.
There is no federal EV tax credit. It ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025.
What 0% APR looks like on an EV9
A 2026 EV9 Wind AWD is $63,900 MSRP plus the $1,645 destination charge, or $65,545 before tax and fees. Finance $55,000 of that at 0% for 60 months and the payment is $916.67 a month, with no interest. The same $55,000 at 3.99% would run $1,012.66 a month and about $5,760 in interest.
The EV9 is built in West Point, Georgia, so a financed EV9 can qualify for the new car loan interest deduction. At 0%, though, there’s no interest to deduct.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 2026 Kia EV9 qualify for the Colorado EV tax credit?+
Yes, through December 31, 2026. A new EV9 delivered by then earns Colorado’s $750 credit. From January 1, 2027, EVs priced over $50,000 MSRP no longer qualify, and every EV9 trim starts above that.
Is there a federal tax credit on the Kia EV9?+
No. The federal EV tax credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025.
What if my EV9 is delivered on January 2, 2027?+
Then the 2027 rules apply and the EV9 earns $0 from Colorado. The delivery date, not the order or signing date, decides which year’s credit you get.
Can I lease an EV9 and still get the Colorado credit?+
Yes. The credit applies to a new EV9 you buy or lease for at least two years, delivered by December 31, 2026. Our 2026 EV9 Wind AWD special is a 24-month lease.
How long is the 0% APR offer on the EV9?+
Kia offers 0% APR for 60 months on the 2026 EV9 through Kia Finance America for qualified buyers, with delivery by January 4, 2027.
Can I still get a VXC rebate on an EV9?+
Yes, if you qualify. Vehicle Exchange Colorado offers income-qualified buyers who trade in an eligible older gas vehicle up to $9,000 on a new EV with an MSRP of $80,000 or less, subject to pre-approval and program funding.
