I keep going back to your videos to catch the start, the production is so impressive. Go on! I wonder why people won’t subscribe, get you paid so you can keep this up!
@ACCELER8TV A big greeting from the French Riviera to your team. I loved this new video format and I think you should keep it for 2024, the video reflects the personal branding of the channel well and you differentiate yourself even more in quality compared to competing channels. I have seen others tests and clearly yours makes me want to buy this New KIA EV9 GT. Congratulations on your work and your professionalism based on your passion for automobiles. Looking forward to your next try.
Nice vid nice SUV in my country we get LCD screens and cameras for side mirrors. But we only get the GT line specs in two varian 6 seater and 7 seater.
"Not Luxury?" You guys are killing it. Where in Arizona were you? We just visited the Saguaro National Park and looks a lot like it. Amazing weather in December.
Meanwhile the model X plaid built in America, has done 0-60mph in 2.3s since late 2021 and also weighs about 5,500# also with a 100kwh pack&similar charging speeds with standard heat pump, octovalve, glass roof etc.
@@4literv6 yeah. but in tesla, if you done 2.3s acceleration 2 or 3 times in a row, it will decrease it's 0 to 60 performances due to heat from motor and high C rate from batteries while EV9 with E-gmp keeps it's performances steadly.
@@yumyumlol-o7r not true for the plaid s&X. And the ct did 30+passes all within a tenth of each other on the camissa hagerty review. 👍🏻😎 He even got a 2.58s 0-60mph run in the 6,800# tri motor cyberbeast. Does hyundai or kia even have anything egmp platform wise that can do 0-60mph that quick yet? 🤔
@@4literv6 The reason why Telsa's platform inferior is because it's outdated. If you engineer EV with too much power, you must sacrifce strength of regen breaking. And Hyundai is the only maker that solved the problem by applying 2stage inverter. this is how ioniq 5N could be engineered 0.6G regen breaking with high horse power. Hyundai is the only maker that can build EV that can be use for racing competition. For example, next year Hyundai is opeing Ioniq 5N CUP. Tesla can't open it's racing CUP because if TEsla do that, their EV's BMS will block it's performance before batteries are used up during tracking due to overheating of motors and batteries. And more over, Tesla can't even increase it's regen breaking high as Hyundai.
So what, big house in US are considered standard but luxury for many Asian country as well, different country has different situation. What’s your point here
@@Comexcyc849 my point is western + European economy will collapse. As it’s built entirely on taxes collected from its people. I mean schools, universities and even health care aren’t free. Let’s take teens for example, by the age 18 they have depts just because they attending universities?! No wonders why there are so many homeless people in European countries.
@@HM11394yeah definitely haha. For sure there are no debt issues in South Korea also. Oh yeah SK and Japan definitely don’t have an alarming decline in population growth. Everyone has problems kid. Tell me you know nothing without telling me you know nothing
Best review so far of this car. So good even, that i am going to test drive it tomorrow. No cap. This car has it all. Presence and all the tech you can imagine. Just wow.
The green license plates aren't available in every province only Ontario my sister lives in Vancouver and her phev has regular plates but has a large sticker on the rear bumper allowing it to travel on highways with ev designated lanes
I really want to know what trims the “not” luxury items come in/with. The suede wrapped headliner and visors is a genesis upgraded non base trim item, also the 360 cameras and sensors… I’m glad it’s trickling down but what else can we expect to see in the genesis version of this ev suv ??
great content guys, keep it up! Its still pretty expensive.. wish the 360 camera would have have with the Wind AWD because having EV6 with those features, its hard to go back without it and.. very similar or slighter better range on the EV6.. hard to spend that much for an extra row of seats.
I also have a ev6 gt line awd and the only issue I have with the ev6 is how low its stance is on the road. It seems everyone on the road is in a truck and I can't see around them. If the ev6 sat about 6 inches higher it would be perfect.
Is the EV9 manufactured in Ontario, been seeing a couple of YT Auto reviewers at the same event driving the EV9 with Ontario plates (or do they do this for the Canadian outlets only)?
Believe the first EV9s are being built in Korea but will then be built in West Point, Georgia, USA. This was a Canadian event so the cars had Ontario plates.
Level 3 autonomous driving wont happen in Canada any time soon due to the current law saying the manufacturer takes liability from level 3 onwards in Ontario (or being uninsurable in BC etc and similar in many states in the US) so they cut lidar out in north America to lower price/cost. Lidar does not help that much for level 2
@@victorquintana5870 The $55k is the strip down version with rear wheel drive unit only. In order for the EV9 to really sell well it needs to compete with the Tesla Model Y. The cheapest model is the RW drive for $42k and the AWD version is at $53k. I think KIA aim to high with the EV9 as a luxury pricing 3-row SUV and its the wrong strategy. There is a good reason why the Model Y is the top selling electric cars. Plus the model Y in the U.S qualify for the federal incentive of $7500 👍
I beg you to never include the chewing of food in your videos ever again. Hearing you chomp on those chips was a little excruciating. Love your stuff otherwise. Just think of folks with misophonia next time. 🙂
70K for under 300 miles of range? Yikes to whoever is dumb enough to buy this. The depreciation will be insane as EVs gain more range. Hard pass on this
no. future's EV range will not be drastically increased from now. Because in order to increase future EV's range drastically, new concept of battery must be invented. And anyone who invent such battery will get Nobel prize. And will take decades to apply on industry. Only way to increase Ev's range is to put more battery cells in car with applying low power motor.
@@Feedmezz no man. your statement is violating conservation of Energy. In order for Ev's range to be increase drastically, energy density of battery cell must be increased like 2 times. Even if it's increased 1.5 times, whoever make that battery cell gets Nobel Prize. So with current batteries available now and couple years from now, only way that car manufacturer can increase their EV range is to put more cells in car. Or decrease horse power of EV.
Good looking suv and fast. But 75k plus another 25k to replace the battery in 6 years =100k. That’s a loaded Cadillac Escalade or loaded Yukon Denali or a semi loaded base Cayenne S which I would rather have
Volkswagen play + and pause - 😉 pedals and Nissan flush dash buttons but KIA gets the praise 🤷🏽♂️ it’s a cool 3 row suv if you’re into the whole robocop futuristic cartoon styling but it’s gonna age quickly imo
Way too small for three rows. It looks like a stretched out Kia soul. There’s nothing exciting about this vehicle. It’s just more of the same . I’m not saying it’s bad at all. It’s a hard pass for me.
Imagine someone spend $75k on a KiA and you try to justify to a friend that all the gimmicks and baubles it has, and the other person in their head thinks $75k for Freaking Kia 😂😂cant flex a KIA brah!
The number one thing that luxury vehicle needs to have is an extremely quiet cabin. And almost no reviewer ever talks about this topic most Evs are loud as hell.
Electric vehicles seem noisier than their ICE equivalent because they do not have an engine to mask some road noise and rattles. Reviewers should always provide a dB noise measurement for 80, 100 and 120 km/h to compare between new models. Models on the EGMP platform are usually quiet, but Kia seems to have raised the bar with the EV9.
@@CarlAllard99 That's backwards and incorrect. For the majority of noise comes from the engine. Making EV inherently quieter. Ever idol in an EV? The rest of the noise is created by wind, road and tires, which all vehicles contend with equally.
