2024 KIA EV9 INFOTAINMENT REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the 2024 Kia EV9's infotainment system, focusing on its dual 12.3-inch displays. The reviewer highlights Kia's commendable inclusion of physical controls for essential functions like climate and volume, which greatly enhance usability. A unique feature is the dedicated 5-inch climate control screen, offering intuitive adjustments. However, the reviewer notes the center screen's reachability can be an issue for some drivers, requiring a full arm extension. The interface's night mode and contrast differentiation are also pointed out as areas for improvement. Despite these minor drawbacks, the system supports seamless integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and offers useful EV-specific features like charging scheduling and battery conditioning. Voice commands are functional but not as advanced as some competitors, with the reviewer suggesting most users will rely on phone-based navigation. Overall, the EV9's tech suite is deemed user-friendly and well-equipped, with the GT-Line trim adding desirable features.
