2024 Kia EV9 Review - We've Left Dreamland, Back to Reality and Snow

Uploaded 1 year ago by Everyday Reviews

Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of the electric car:

The Kia EV9 is a three-row electric SUV with a boxy and edgy shape, resembling a modern, larger Kia Soul

The GT-Line trim includes 21-inch wheels

There are embedded buttons with haptic feedback that disappear when the car is off

The second-row seats can be moved with a button, equipped with sensors to stop if they detect obstructions like knees.

The GT-Line has all-wheel drive and a larger battery, almost 100-kilowatt hours

Range is slightly less than other trims due to AWD and higher horsepower

The GT-Line is a six-passenger configuration

Range on a full charge in the winter is about 400 km, and driving at 21-22 degrees Celsius causes it to drop depending on driving habits.

During testing in one foot of snow, the EV9 performed well in snow mode, where all-wheel drive is increased; drivers in other vehicles were getting stuck

The step-in height is nearly perfect

Physical buttons are included for heated seats and steering wheel

It has next-generation clear, color head-up display

The car also has a digital rearview mirror

The middle console offers a configurable storage area with a wireless charging pad.

Consider that this review took place in Canada, and the EV9 qualifies for federal and potential provincial rebates, depending on the province you live in

The test EV9 GT Line model costs $81,495 Canadian including freight. The reviewer notes that there are not many other similar vehicles in this category outside of the Rivian R1S and premium luxury brands such as Mercedes or Tesla (Model X)

The reviewer noted that the door handles performed well in freezing conditions due to a pinch sensor safety feature

The test EV9 drove up a hill that a four-wheel-drive Toyota Tacoma could not.

The rear seats can be folded down with the press of a button

The center console is well designed.
