Performance
2026 EV9 GT Performance Power
Let’s highlight the EV9 GT trim as evidence of what the 2026 EV9 is capable of at its high-performance best. How does 502 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque sound? It’s not just about raw power in the EV9 as well, with the electronically limited-slip differential providing better cornering and off-road performance, which easily comes in handy when the weather turns south here in Fredericton winters.
Will the EV9 Hold Up in a Canadian Winter?
Speaking of winter… it’s a question we always get, “but can an electric vehicle actually hold up in the cold of a Fredericton winter?” Yes, quite easily, thanks to many features like its heat pump that warms the cabin and battery from vehicle system heat, which doubles as comfort for everyone inside along with improved battery range when it gets cold out.
