KIA EV9 VS VOLVO XC90: WHO MAKES THE COOLEST FAMILY SUV?

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV9 and Volvo XC90 are compared as family SUV contenders, with the EV9 presented as a fully electric option and the XC90 as a plug-in hybrid. The reviewer highlights the EV9's exceptional interior space, particularly in the third row, making it suitable for carrying seven adults comfortably. Its modern design, generous equipment, and impressive charging capabilities (800V system) are noted as strengths. However, the infotainment system is found to be less intuitive than some rivals. The XC90, despite its age, impresses with a classy Scandinavian interior, comfortable seats, and a refined driving experience. Its plug-in hybrid nature offers flexibility, though real-world electric range is less than advertised. While the XC90 excels in interior quality and understated design, the EV9 is deemed more spacious, versatile, and modern, ultimately earning the reviewer's pick for its practicality and future-proofing, despite a higher monthly cost for retail buyers.
