While I may be late to the party, I finally got a spin in the groundbreaking Kia EV9 here in the top GT-Line trim at $77,500. Why so important? The EV9 is the only mainstream true 3-row EV in the US market and it is GOOD. The looks are subjective though space is nearly on par with a Telluride with plenty of capability and next gen tech, features, and Kia’s magic of making unobtainable luxury a value item. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@Alllcarnews Spec Sheet:
99.8kWh Battery Pack
379HP and 516 lb-ft of torque
Dual Motor AWD
0-60MPH in 4.5 seconds
5,000 lbs Towing with self leveling suspension
EPA Range estimated at 270 miles (240-ish real world)
800v Architecture
11kW on-board charger
215kw-230kW DC Fast Charging speed
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Highs:
+Comfort is wonderful. The comfort orientated suspension and quietness inside is top tier.
+Being the first non luxury 3 row Ev is a big plus and pricing starting in the $50k range is wonderful.
+Charging (can be) very quick if needed
+The interior design is upscale looking, focuses on recycled premium materials, and is tech fest.
Lows:
-Range, in this GT-Line trim, is ok though needs to be better for road tripping large families.
-Climate panel is placed in a poor position and funky start/stop button
-Second row seats need more tight support and the third row, while useable, is still for children.
8/10
