FIRST LOOK KIA EV9 - WHY THIS 6/7 SEAT EV WILL BE THE NEW MARKET LEADER

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV9 is presented as a groundbreaking large electric SUV with a bold, divisive design language dubbed 'Opposites United'. The reviewer highlights its exceptional practicality, particularly the cavernous boot space (828 liters with rear seats folded) and the innovative six-seat configuration featuring swivel middle-row seats and an integrated table, ideal for stationary relaxation or picnics. Key technological advancements include Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, allowing charging of external devices like e-bikes, and a unique digital rear-view mirror that functions as a camera. The reviewer praises the spacious interior, dual 12.3-inch screens, and the inclusion of physical climate controls. While the reviewer did not drive the vehicle, initial impressions focus on its innovative features and immense practicality for families. The reviewer notes the EV9 will be available in RWD (201 BHP, 336 miles range) and AWD (378 BHP, 308 miles range) configurations, with the GT-Line S being the range-topping six-seat model.
