This past spring, Kia launched a neat feature for basketball lovers! Now, 2024 Kia EV9 drivers can spruce up their car’s digital cluster display with the colors and logo of their favorite NBA team. Don’t own an EV9? Not to worry! Other vehicles with Kia’s latest Connected Car Navigation Cockpit system will get this feature, too. It’s a fun way for fans to show their team pride on the road.
“As avid basketball enthusiasts, we’re thrilled to introduce our latest available OTA update, which combines the thrill of the NBA with the opportunity to personalize your Kia vehicle,” said COO and EVP of Kia America, Steven Center.

Now, there’s a cool new way for basketball fans to show support for their favorite NBA teams, like the Memphis Grizzlies or the Oklahoma City Thunder, right from their cars. Some EV9 trims will offer unique sounds that play when you get in and out of the car, letting you celebrate your team each time you enter and exit your vehicle. This is a great way for fans to demonstrate their team spirit.

“This is just the tip-off, as we’re committed to enhancing the ownership and driving experience with more exciting themes, collaborations, and digital features to be introduced in the future.”
The 2024 Kia EV9 leads the way in Kia’s newest tech innovations, thanks to updates that can be wirelessly installed using Over-the-Air (OTA) technology. This innovative feature means the car keeps getting better, enhancing how it performs and the entertainment it offers. Soon, these new NBA team themes will also be available for other Kia models that have the ccNC infotainment system. Fans eager to show off their team pride can purchase display themes featuring their favorite NBA teams for $39.99 each. These themes are up for grabs through the Kia Connect Store, accessible via the Kia Access app or through the Kia Owner’s Portal.
