The EV9 provides everything today’s traveler needs. Amazing appearance, comfort, safety and capability just to name a few. Oh and did I mention the technology is awesome. At first it is pretty overwhelming considering all of its features, but that’s not to say as soon as you know the basics you can operate it with ease. This vehicle is a dream to drive and you will take it down the road with ease. Electric travel is something we all will have to become accustomed to, but it’s the way of the future. We must leave fossil fuels in the past.

Really disappointing

My new KIA was in the shop 16 days in the first month and stalled in the middle of the road when the driver hit the brakes to avoid a crash. The brakes worked well but the car would only idle after that. It also broke our home Telsa charger when we tried to use the converter. The dealer could care less. We have also had a very hard time finding chargers that work.

The EV You Didn't Know Existed

We already own a Tesla Model Y (and love it!). When we were looking to replace an older vehicle (Mazda Cx-5, 2014), I wanted a larger EV, preferably an SUV. I thought I had very few choices - either a very expensive Rivian or the Cybertruck. The Kia EV-9 was not a model I was aware of. After taking a test drive, I realized the EV9 was better than my Tesla in many, many ways. The size is perfect, roughly the same as my old Ford Explorer. The ride is incredible, both quiet and powerful. The styling is excellent, I think it looks quite a bit like the new Range Rover. I've had the EV 9 for about a month; it's more comfortable than the most luxurious vehicles I've ever driven, quieter, more powerful, and just put together better. The one area I'm concerned about is the supercharging networks because the non-Tesla networks are not as reliable. However, Kia is going to get access to Tesla charging early in 2025 which will officially check all my blocks.

Everything and More

Great driving position with adjustable everything. Spacious and comfortable. So far I like practically everything about the vehicle. The only minus would be the software for the vehicle especially the route planning. Hopefully that gets OTA updates for future improvements.

This is my first EV and I really like it. Considering it is the entry level model it has a lot of features and a nice ride. I wanted the second row bench seats and the light was the only model that met that need. My only regret is that it only gets 230 miles for a full charge. It's great for local driving but since they only want you to charge it to 80% the range is too limited for longer trips.
