WHICH 3-ROW EV IS BEST? VOLVO EX90 VS. KIA EV9 VS. VOLKSWAGEN ID. BUZZ

EV Channels Review

Edmunds compares three highly anticipated 3-row EVs: the Kia EV9, Volvo EX90, and Volkswagen ID. Buzz. The Kia EV9, already a favorite and part of Edmunds' long-term fleet, is praised for its comfortable ride, luxurious interior for its price point, user-friendly technology, and excellent value, making it the best all-around choice for most buyers. The Volvo EX90 impresses with its quiet cabin and premium materials, but is significantly hampered by unreliable software, a frustrating touchscreen interface, and a cramped third row, making it difficult to recommend despite its luxury aspirations. The Volkswagen ID. Buzz stands out for its immense interior space and unique, retro styling, offering a van-like experience. However, it suffers from a firm ride, a noisy cabin, less premium interior materials compared to the others, and critically, the shortest real-world range of the group, along with ergonomic issues like poor small item storage and a lack of second-row cup holders. While the EX90 and ID. Buzz have potential, the EV9's well-rounded nature and lack of significant drawbacks solidify its position as the top pick.
