THIS KIA IS BETTER THAN MOST LUXURY CARS… FAMILY REVIEW OF KIA'S EV9 SUV

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV9 GT-Line is presented as a compelling, albeit expensive, flagship electric SUV that rivals luxury offerings. The reviewer highlights its spaciousness, comfortable ride, and premium interior features, including massaging seats and a sophisticated design. Performance is noted as strong, with ample power for a family hauler. However, the high price point, starting at $78,000 and topping out around $75,000 with discounts, is a significant hurdle, especially for a Kia. While the reviewer praises its technology, range (estimated 270-300 miles city), and fast charging capabilities, they suggest that for the price, luxury badge competitors like Genesis or even traditional V8 SUVs might be considered. The reviewer also points out minor drawbacks like the steering wheel obscuring the climate screen and the limited utility of the second-row captain's chairs with ottomans for families with young children. Despite these points, the overall sentiment is positive, with the EV9 being called the "best Kia ever made" and a vehicle the reviewer would consider as a main car, provided discounts and EV tax credits are leveraged.
