EV Channels Review
The Kia EV9 GT-Line proves itself a capable road trip companion, excelling in its charging performance and highway efficiency, especially in cold weather. Despite a lower peak charging speed compared to some competitors, its charging curve is remarkably flat, maintaining a strong rate for an extended period, adding 49.4 kWh in just 15 minutes. The vehicle achieved 94.1 miles in the 10% challenge at 80 mph in 28°F conditions, a result considered excellent for a large, less efficient three-row SUV and on par with the Model Y. The reviewer highlights the comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and excellent driver assistance systems as key strengths for long journeys. The only significant drawback noted is the "function on demand" feature for the grill lights, which requires an additional purchase, deemed "lame" by the reviewer. Overall, the EV9 is highly recommended for families undertaking road trips, offering a blend of comfort, practicality, and dependable charging and range performance.
