Kia EV9 Land AWD is the Electric Telluride Families Want #automobile #electricvehicle

Video Summary

The EV9 lacks a kick-to-open tailgate, relying on automatic opening when the fob is nearby. The Land trim seems to offer the best value if extra power and other features are not needed. Hyundai will soon be dropping the Ioniq 9, which is built on the same platform. EV9s built in Georgia may qualify for tax credits, so it is important to check with the dealer. Land trims get self-leveling suspension with the towing package. Ambient lighting has dual-tone settings. A good view of the sky is achieved with the sunroof. The Base Light trim has a second-row bench that seats 7, while others have bucket seats. In the "TP test," the EV9 fits four packages of bath tissue with some space to spare under the load floor, but there is no spare tire. 125V and 12V power options are available in the tailgate area. Laying down the second and third row offers 82 cubic feet of cargo room. A 379 horsepower is available for the top trims, and each motor makes 189hp. The power on and off button is awkwardly placed.  The car is quiet, easy to drive, refined, comfortable and offers great visibility. If regeneration is set to zero, the car will coast, while dialing regeneration all the way in comes to a complete stop with little or no braking. The infotainment system has over-the-air updates. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connect wirelessly. The steering wheel blocks the HVAC area of the display. The Land trim is capable of 280 miles. The review stated the top sound system is average. Finally, because the electric motor is placed under the floor of the vehicle, the center of gravity is very low.
