I DROVE SO FAR BELOW 0% IN THIS KIA EV9 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST! GT-LINE AWD 99.8KWH

EV Channels Review

This video details a highway range test of the Kia EV9 GT-Line AWD, pushing the limits by driving below 0% state of charge. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and impressive driver-assist features, particularly noting the effectiveness of the lane centering and automatic lane changes. Despite initial concerns about the car's low mileage (40 miles) and less-than-ideal charging site conditions, the EV9 performed admirably. The reviewer was particularly impressed with the real-world range, which approached the EPA estimate despite colder temperatures and a fresh, un-broken-in battery. The vehicle managed to drive significantly further than its predicted range, even dipping below 0% on the gauge and requiring a tow for the final stretch. The reviewer concludes that the Kia EV9 is a truly long-range capable SUV, deserving of its EPA rating under optimal conditions.
