FIRST KANDI K27 EV DRIVE - THE CHEAPEST NEW CAR IN THE USA!

EV Channels Review

The Kandi K27, positioned as the most affordable new car in the USA, surprisingly exceeds expectations for its sub-$10,000 price point (after credits). Reviewers were initially skeptical, expecting a golf cart-like experience, but found it to be a legitimate, solid-feeling car. The K27 offers adequate acceleration, especially in Sport mode, and handles surprisingly well with predictable dynamics and a good turning radius. While not a performance vehicle, it's capable of highway speeds (up to 68 mph in Sport mode) and keeps up with city traffic. Key drawbacks include a lack of a 'Park' gear (requiring neutral and parking brake), a very reflective infotainment screen, and unclear HVAC temperature controls. Despite these quirks and a noisy cabin, the K27's fundamental competence as a functional electric vehicle at an unprecedented price makes it a compelling, albeit quirky, proposition.
