Good car, but still a Kia

I bought the Kia EV9, GT-Line 2 weeks ago. It has spent the last week in the shop because a few days into ownership of this brand new car IT HAD A MAJOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE! The car will not charge, and the dealership has to fly someone in to try to diagnose it. I've been a Tesla owner for 6 years, and have never experienced even remotely a serious issue like this. Until the car died, it had some nice features. Lots of bells and whistles. It's a big car! However, it's infotainment computer is light years behind what Tesla has done. Do yourself a favor, get a Tesla Model Y and call it a day. I would not recommend this car, because in the end you are still dealing with Kia, a brand that has not been associated with reliability. I can attest to this stereotype now.

I have been loving the EV 9 GT line so far. No issues knock on wood. Easy to charge and a blast to drive. Every day I get into it I’m excited. The comfort package probably isn’t worth 2k though.

Very quiet, smooth ride. You feel like you’re floating on a cloud.

Nice car! Great for family or for those who travels and wants comfort. Driving is a bit bumping, forgot that’s it’s still an SUV
