Many daily annoyances not readily obvious at test

What was not obvious at the time of test drive was that there are few ways to create default driving settings and as a result I have to push MANY buttons, pointlessly scan my finger, and swipe through menus each time I start the vehicle. It is maddening there is no default for full brake regeneration, seat and steering warmers, infotainment settings (it defaults to a generic screen and forces me to select or swipe to the desired menu); it has a fingerprint sensor, which seems like a good idea if my phone as key fails or I do not have a working fob, but the system requires me to scan each time I start the vehicle and the scanner fails far more often than it captures my print the first time. If I do not scan, apple CarPlay does not usually connect, and without a registered fingerprint, I do not have the option to start the car without a key. To my knowledge there is nothing in the enormously useless manual to address any of this. The lack of defaults is infuriating each time I start the car. Also annoying are the plastic wheel covers. I am not sure how but one is already cracked at month two. Also on the negative, I experienced a mysterious 12v battery failure during the first month and received a less than satisfying response and diagnosis from Kia. Specifically they ambiguously said 3rd party apps on my phone were pinging the vehicle repeatedly overnight and draining the 12v battery. The only apps I use with the car are Kia connect and Apple CarPlay when driving. As a result I have little faith in the reliability of this vehicle. On the plus, the EV9 is exceptionally well appointed with many competitive options. It is large, spacious, quiet, fast, and comfortable. I would not recommend.

Almost Perfect SUV

I wanted to buy Tesla for years but every time I drive it I couldn't justify to buy it. I have rented Model-X and Model-3 and test drove model-y. When I learned about EV9 I liked it on paper and watched all youtube videos. But it was bit expensive for my budget. I decided to take a test drive and there was the moment, I liked it so much I didn't care about money. I was buying lite long range but once I also drove land so I bought wind to get extra power and awd. So far I have driven it for 1000 miles and my love for the car is increasing day by day. It charges faster than Tesla superchargers. It is very quite almost comparable to my mercedes SUV. I do have few complaints though, I paid 65k for it but it doesn't have seat memory. I would like it to lock itself if the key is not around. Inbuilt GPS is good overall but last 100feet directions are annoying. Although wireless android auto works flawlessly. The GPS doesn't show the arrival SoC in estimations. The HDA-II works fine for most highways. But lane keeping on non-highway is hit and miss.

Amazing battery life - i have Land trim, AWD. Getting almost 300 miles on a 100% charge. Super smooth ride, great balance, great cargo space w/3rd row folded, comfortable 3rd row, great kiddo and kiddo gear hauler, put cargo box on top for all the ski gear and easy 5 kids to ski all day, on one charge. Use regen for hills and switch to level 0 for super-efficient rwd on flats - saves me 20% of my charge. On/off switch and software takes getting used too, but after 3 months/3000 miles driving, no service issues at all. Excellent build quality. Will likely buy at end of lease.

Unfixable vibration 70 mph and above

I bought a new 2024 EV9 Wind AWD in August 2024. I noticed a vibration at highway speed around 70 mph and higher. The dealer has road force balanced the Kumho tires, changed out 2 of the out of spec tires, then swapped out the Kumhos for Hankook tires. Sadly the vehicle still vibrates. I called a different Kia dealer who said they're aware of the problem, and Kia does not have afix. Waiting to hear back from a lemon law attorney for my options. I filed a claim with Kia America. They sent a Kia Tech that travels around the region and attempts to fix issues the dealers are unable to. He road force balanced the tires, and did a 4 wheel alignment. The vibration is now worse. I accepted a buyback offer Kia America today. So sad. I love the car except for the vibration which is unacceptable for the price.
