Video Summary
Here is a concise summary of the YouTube video reviewing an electric car:- The review compares a rear-wheel-drive Kia EV9 Light Long Range and an all-wheel-drive EV9 GT-Line.
- The GT-Line has a shorter EPA-rated range of 270 miles, while the Light Long Range is rated for 304 miles.
- The actual range difference during testing is closer than the EPA rating suggests, about 35 miles.
- Fort Collins Kia does not charge markup and offers free shipment.
- Real-world conditions are similar, therefore, a major range penalty between rear-wheel drive versus all-wheel drive is unexpected.
- The GT-Line offers options not on the base model. These features include reclinging seats and a better interior. The head up display is exclusive to GT models.
- One key difference is that the long range has twice the front trunk space.
- The base model’s stereo sounds very good.
- Highway Drive Assist, steering lock, and side camera were good on both cars.
- The GT and Limited models have heat pumps to provide greater efficiency in cold weather.
- Overall, the Kia EV9 is a good value for families who need more space and technology. If big battery size is not important to the user, select the EV9 model based on desired features, not just EPA ratings.
