Video Summary
The Kia EV9 review revealed the following points:The exterior has a cyber punk feel, especially the wheel arches and wheels.
Different models have slightly different lower bumper designs.
The rear isn't the best angle, but it's not offensive.
The interior is quite nice, and although simplistic, it has several interesting elements.
Lower interior materials are not as good as higher portions.
The front seats' headrests are like trampolines.
The steering wheel partly blocks the climate controls.
Entry-level models start with 19" wheels but can be upgraded.
GT Line and GT Line S have black window surrounds and roof rails, whereas the entry level has silver ones.
The review unit, a range-topper, has black door mirrors (body color on entry level).
There's a large digital driver's display to control features.
The starting price of the car is £65,000, with the reviewed GT-Line S reaching £77,000.
The 0-60 mph launch is faster than a Porsche 911.
The steering is light for city driving but has an unnatural feel in sports mode.
The suspension is super comfortable.
Safety systems, including lane assist and speed limit warnings, are always enabled and have to be disabled after starting.
Drivers can configure the car with their fingerprints, but safety settings aren't included.
There is emergency steering.
There is automatic regen braking.
The Kia EV9 comes with 7 seats as standard, but 6-seater configuration, with individually-adjustable seats, can be had as well.
The 6-seater configuration provides comfy armrests, reclinable seats, and sliding seats.
Rear windows have sun blinds.
There is a three-pin socket in the boot.
Both models contain a 100 kWh battery.
There is a 90-liter boot space under the bonnet of the rear wheel drive car, but there is 50 liters for the all-wheel car, due to the position of the motor.
The real-world range of the four wheel drive car is approximately 230 miles.
The review finds the Kia to be stylish, well-equipped, and practical.
The rear-view camera gets dirty and could use a washer.
The rear-wheel drive version of the electric car does 350 miles on full charge.
The rear wheel drive has a single electric motor with 203 hp; the four-wheel has a motor at each axle, so a combined 385 hp.
