The 2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line Is A Superb Family SUV That Happens To Be Electric 

Yeah you paid too much congratulations getting screwed this shouldn't be more than $55k out the door

@@truckercowboyed2638 nah. I’ve done a ton of research. The market is brutal in FL. You literally have “Trucker” and “Cowboy”. I’m your screen name. You are definitely emotionally invested in oil.

By the way I traded in a Toyota 2020 loaded 4Runner sr5. I swear on everything it’s such an amazing car in every way.

My Kia EV 9 GT line leased . Still have a problem . Brand new only 900 km , dealer already a week can not figure out was wrong with it . Car can not charge on level 2 charger .

They are selling at 10k discount right now.

This one is the fully loaded trim. Besides, have you tried pricing the iX?

@@chiemekaa iX is grossly overpriced. Also one of the ugliest vehicle on sale. For 75K-80K I would rather have the Rivian R1S Standard+ for under 80K. Not as luxurious as Ev9 and also misses some creature comforts, but the R1S suspension, capability, cargo space, and the massive 121KWh usable battery make it more appealing IMO. Honestly KIA/Hyundai are probably my favorite mainstream brands atm, but 78K is pricing them out of the market they are suppose to be competing in. Especially because the Telluride SX Prestige has always been a bargain in the segment for about 50K. I don't really see that competitive MSRP pricing with the EV9. Luckily dealers are offering massive discounts. Can find the top trims for under 70K if you are patient which I think is a great deal if the range works for you. I really do think though if they gave it a larger battery it would make it perfect. Especially because with the car full the range will drop even more.

Can't wait for the IONIQ 7/9!

I'd go further and say it's among the best EVs in general 👍 and I'm not much of an EV fan.

The GT Line yes but the lower trims aren’t that bad for a EV that size. Not to mention everyone is Marking them down right now.

Somebody inevitably says that on ever review of every type of car regardless of price. Every single one.

​@@krane15because it's true.

>these prices are outrageous Drives a mustang GT I don't think you understand what outrageous is.

​@@krane15yes because it's reality you need to wake up

Well not everyone with money is intelligent so....

The Rivian R1S has a lot over this EV9 in my opinion. Both are way better than an ICE SUV though. The lower EV9 trims are a bargain.

ICE Kias haven't had reliability issues for nearly a decade now. I've owned two 2017 ICE Kias. Still have one, no issues.

In fact, you sold me on this car!! ❤

You somehow beat the sex bots.

People said the same thing about the Telluride. $50K for a Kia!? But the fact of the matter is, they offer a lot for the money, a long warranty, and the quality is as good or better than any other mainstream brand. I have a Rivian R1S and the front trunk is a great feature. It's power up/down and the size of a small sedan trunk, very usable, and we use it all the time. Especially because you can open/close it in the garage without opening the garage door first. Tesla's is too small and manual open/close, plus no exterior button makes it less convenient.

They're already offering $7500 manufacturer incentive, I am sure that will go away as the federal credits become available. That's Kia's goal.

@@Cttechexpress I'd imagine if these aren't selling as fast as they want, I'd get the federal credit plus a KIA incentive, albeit a bit reduced.

Those are gonna be crappy AF knowing how bad the u.s. version are made. Stick with Korean made.

nah you can get a GT Line out the door for low 60s right now. Land trim even less.

In comparison to other 3 row EV’s like that Volvo EX90 and Rivian R1S

EVs are not affordable. Except in places like Puerto Rico where a $50k car is $70k after their tax. Unless, it is an EV, in that case the price remains the same as in the US mainland, not tax. But these cars a fairly expensive. You could buy a luxury car for that money.

@DamnManSam there are a lot of affordable electric vehicle models on the market now. However car prices in general have gone up substantially.

@@DamnManSam what do you mean EV’s are very affordable right now. Everyone is running deals right now. You can find EV9’s right now with $15K off MSRP which puts them slightly above Telluride pricing. Not everyone needs the top model he’s reviewing there are more affordable trims.

Yep, most dealerships are doing that because who the hell has $78k plus fees and taxes for a family SUV? At these high interest rates this would end up being $1800 a month for 84 months 💀That’s equal to a mortgage payment

That’s probably a lower trim level.

Must be nice to be in a low volume market to get more than 10% off of msrp

What dealership is that?

@@AntonLebedev must be nice? No one is buying evs, KIA is not excluded

I think the VW Bus styling is too polarizing, younger people (I'm 37 for example) are not interested in a vehicle that looks like that on the outside by and large.

Already selling fast. Especially in the States.

@@kiwan5425 Not even for sale yet. The price hasn’t even been announced. There will be a fair number of sales in the first year but then it will fall off a cliff.

Pay attention to the video Forrest.

⁠wouldn’t it have been easier to just answer the question instead of being a smart ass?

Hey Chuckles, all cars are expensive now. Get used to it and stop your sniveling.

​@@BhutWhutstop accepting it as normal you're the problem

@@truckercowboyed2638 So your a real American trucker huh? Wow

Standard heated and cool seats i would hope it is expensive

Nah those will start at $80K and go up from there into the $100K+ range. Better off with a Rivian, which can be had for low to mid 70s.

They’ll be outta business soon along with that dam fisker.

@@XX-166 oh yeah just like Tesla. Any day now...

@@Cttechexpress do your homework and watch

Still are. Welcome to Biden's America, where the AVERAGE new vehicle is $50K. A $60K vehicle is just above average.

Wow

Agree, even if its leather, all that gray looks like it came out of a 90's car/SUV.

Some of them do

Some of them do and I’m assuming police are driving a lot more than the average person buying at EV9

God forbid people have options to choose from

Yep, a lot of things are lacking in Africa. Keep rejoicing 🤡

need to have power that stays on throughout the day first for EVs to become a thing

Nothing will be a thing there due to a lack of resources to keep them going

@XX-166 Rivian has enough cash flow to release the R2 and is backed by Amazon. Lucid is backed by the Saudi investment fund. Neither is going bankrupt any time soon, and worst case they both have unique intellectual property, software, service, manufacturing facilities etc. and would be bought up. Unlike Fisker which contracts all their manufacturing and service, and owns nothing.

3 row vehicle vs 2 row. Not comparable.

The caddy will be a 3 row when it comes to market

@@telliesmith9825 Yep. More seating, more space, more luxury, and more range for the same price as this.

Sux to be u. I love it

@@BhutWhut It DOES suck to be me, but not because of this vehicle. It's boring and uninspiring. YMMV

@@DRayL_ it's an SUV pal. Relax

@@BhutWhut I didn't realize I was "uptight". I'm pretty relaxed already. Getting ready for bed, actually. Dash design is still boring.

Kia's EV sales doubled last month, so that doesn't seem to be the case at all. They're selling well.

@@Cttechexpressyou must work for Kia

@@XX-166 lol not at all just like to dispell false talking points and misinformation.

@@Cttechexpress ok girl… you’re going a good job at wearing that public relations skirt.

@@XX-166pretty sad to be acting like this as a grown adult.

"I'm never paying 70k for a kia" Kia built a 100K car and is selling it for 70K because they understand public opnions regarding their brand. So this is not a 70K car, if it was a Mercedes they would sell it for 100K. But if that still doesn't matter to you and you just can't fathom paying 70k for a kia, then you're probably one of those people who would pay a premium just to have brand recognition. You're a tool lol

👏 Good for you

It'll say Genesis in a few months

No one asked

More than 70k plus the mark up. Main stream car company rip off common people!
