WHY THE 2024 KIA EV9 MAY BE THE BEST 3 ROW ELECTRIC SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Kia EV9 Land AWD is presented as a strong contender for the best three-row electric SUV. Reviewers were particularly impressed by its exceptionally quiet and comfortable ride, which rivals luxury vehicles and surpasses traditional large SUVs like the Suburban and even the reviewer's own family's Tellurides. The spacious interior, comfortable seating (especially the captain's chairs in the Land trim), and the inclusion of heated and cooled seats were highlighted as major positives. The infotainment system, while familiar to the EV6, is noted as being cleaner and more intuitive, with the addition of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto being a significant upgrade. A key advantage is the on-demand preconditioning feature, accessible even when using CarPlay, which is crucial for optimal charging. The reviewer also appreciated the ample storage, the V2L capability, and the quality of the 360-degree camera system. While the lack of a heads-up display on a $74,000 sticker price was a minor point of criticism, the significant dealer incentives bringing the price down to the mid-$50,000 range make it a compelling value proposition. The vehicle's power and composed handling, despite its size and weight, were also praised, making it a highly recommended option for families seeking a premium electric three-row experience.
