I used to live in arctic conditions, and I do not miss it. Hats off to those of you to still fight these battles with Mother Nature.
It seems like it's rough to live in 😬 I love snow, but, yikes!
Love the EV9. Keep up the great reviews. Also your puppy is adorable ❤️
Thanks!
Great truck, Im reviewing mine as well. Shocking good to drive!
tats need
Excellent video. Your real world reviews are among the best I’ve seen on YT. Well done.
Great real world review I love the ev9. I want one!
I really like it. I am likely going to order a Land Premium soon to replace my EV6. It'll be good for putting skis between the captain's chairs for our family.
WOW! This is how you do a real world car review!!! I love the review video and the EV9.
Real world? Not everyone lives in snow , there is no real world review like all those 98% Ford 150 who will never going to tow anything
snow terrain mode is very impressive than I thought.
Thank you for showing that ❤.
Glad you liked it!
It wasn’t planned 😂
Best walkthrough on CZcams.
That is another stellar EV from the Kia / Hyundai group, and they will be manufacturing them in the USA before the end of 2024, cannot wait for the NACS Charge port edition! Might have to trade up from our very reliable 2020 Kia Soul EV limited, it has almost 100K KM and just a reliable stellar vehicle.
A lot bigger though than the Soul. How’s your range after 100k kms?
Great review!
Some great extra info here not found elsewhere! Btw your kids are adorable. :)
Thanks!🙏
thats preey so you know
What a great review thank you
ho preety so you know my love it were is your ctue kids to @ therewere door bolly so you know
nice work even one thats ctue and funnyv to @ the sometime its how log you have is just Quneen so you know
Cannot wait for the Ioniq 7 to be revealed.
I wish they had the EV rebate on this car. That would even more perfect. It is made in Korea so it’s quality workmanship. When they move the assembly to America, not sure what the quality will be like but the rebate should kick in then
It's not a rebate, it's a tax credit. Surprised more people aren't waiting for them to be made in US to take advantage of the tax credit. The Georgia factory should start making them by the last quarter of 2024. $52k for an EV9 is great
Finally a full sized EV. Good review. I am looking forward to this when the time is right.
wow this is genuine review what I want. thank you
Finally a real review! You bring up everything that I've been wondering about, for instance the handles and the behaviour of the car in snow. Well done!
Glad it was helpful!
Am seeing a lot of EV9s on the roads here in the UK. Lovely chunky design. Saw a graphite one the other day. Looks the bomb!
Little Benny approves!!
The intuitiveness of physical buttons is beyond compare with any touchscreen controls. I'm glad you never mentioned the famous Tesla fanbois phrase "You'll get used to it." everytime there's a compromise in operation.
I own M3 and don't see myself buying the new Highland because of the minimalistic has gone too far.
Well I think you can adjust the high on the rear tailgate on Kia or its on Hyundai.
Love your reviews, guys. What’s up with the color grading? The ocean blue paint looks way off.
Thanks for the really complete review. Not my use case but definitely a vid I'll refer friends to.
ho wow insaides the show thatshard thats coolr to so thation s so you know
thats need so you know
I have the ioniq5 and it's the best car I have owned after an Audi Q7 SUV 3.0L. I must admit that this bulldozer EV9 is gorgeous... and you have a rear wiper !!! Lucky man LoL
Great review! We love ours. With battery technology changing so fast these days, we leased ours. In the US the 7,500 credit is applied on a lease. Ev9 has a great residual value so the GTline lease ended up being $500 less per month than a Model X. I don’t believe they offer a lease on the R1S yet, only R1T.
Do you miss the tech from the Model X? Was just checking out a friends Model S today and man it’s pretty impressive how well their system works. Even the sentry system is amazing.
We still have a model Y and Tesla’s software is amazing. With that said we love apple carplay :) and Kia’s software is intuitive and really fast. Their app isn’t bad either. Our past BMW’s have been good but our Range Rover sport, Jaguar and a Ram, all had bugs and the software features were lacking. Kia’s tech feels the closet to Rivian and Tesla.
The Kia feels more comfortable to drive than the model X and I do like having regen options in the Kia. Tesla’s is always on. It also doesn’t hurt to drive something different amongst a sea of teslas.
I couldn’t find a German made 3 row ice vehicle under 90k so with a great lease deal, the Kia was a no brainer for us.
Can I be nosey and ask what your monthly lease payment is for your EV9?
@@user-ji6jb8tj7z it’s really close to the out of state - lease deal shown on Out of Spec’s first review of the EV9. At about 29:43 mark. Note: Lease deals (Money Factor) has changed a bit since Jan.
Out Of Spec - go to 29:43.

Could you please test drive the Hyundai Santa Fe 2024 during winter how it reacts on snow and Rocky Mountains please
Snow driving depends a lot of the tires you have, you can have the best awd, but if you have summer tires, it won't be great.
Exactly
Great review! I ordered the same model and color as you tested to replace my 2023 EV6 GTL2. I assume the EV9 has winter tires seeing the performance in heavy snow. What winter tires are installed on your EV9? I'm in the Eastern Quebec area where winter start in November and finish in April ☃!
Wondering the tires as well
They’re Pirelli Scorpion Winters tires.
For sure you won’t have any issue in Eastern Quebec with this. Our snow here is very slick as well
Very impresed by these tires, thanks!@@EverydayReviews2022
You will have a big depreciation on your Ev6. Why jump now?
I'm on the same level as you. Having 2 kids, this ticks all the boxes. Cool appearance, full option, has cool tech and the price! If I would spec this out with another car it would set me back 2x the price. I am willing to pay more for a Volvo, Audi or Mercedes. But not 2x the price people..
Hows the winter performance of the battery? I heard some EV's got discharged in cold like -5, -10 and wont recharge because of cold. how was it with KIA?
I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and I can tell you that when it is freezing cold, you lose around 20% of range. I have not noticed a drop of range overnight when parked because of the cold.
@@swyang68 thats fair i guess. i saw a guy who got locked out of his tesla at a ski resort and car wouldnt even unlock because of full discharge. He had to get power from an old car and push to the charging station
Nice video. What type of camera do you use to film?
Sony a7siii, GoPro 10, iPhone 15
Man, that's a nice neighborhood.
Great review. Thought your wife almost hit the storage rack :)
You and me both!
Brian, I know you love the F150 lightning, would you pick this evening nine over that?
I probably would just because the size is a little more manageable for day to day uses however you can’t beat the ride comfort, the power capabilities and that frunk on the Lightning.
What tires were you driving on when in the snow?
Pirelli Scorpions
@@EverydayReviews2022 the Snow version?
@@isuzu14b yes Scorpion winter
Does it have autonomous braking, for instance when parking or when maneuvering on a tight street?
Yes
We're you using snow tires or all seasons?
Winter tires
I like the look, it seems more offroad than other EUVs.
The EV9 and Model X are definitely not made for any offroad driving. The ride height is too low, for one. But the AWD and heavy weight make them capable in the snow with decent tires for sure. The Rivian R1S is an excellent off-road EV SUV though, that's a different animal.
For sure not a real off roader. Dirt roads no problem like we took them in Arizona but if you want electric off tossing, leave it to the Rivian. Think of this like a sporty minivan with lots of features.
The wind awd need to include the driver memory seat feature. It is not included or option on an 65k car is absurd!!!
Did you have snow tires on it ?
Yes, winter tires.
You try use VF-9 ev
Why won't they make a hybrid version?
Kia with physical buttons are awesome, tesla should learn from it. :)
But i hate charging, will buy Telluride PHEV instead.
Love the EV9, looks like a great vehicle! EV SUVs are just so damn expensive, hard for me to pick an EV9 over a Telluride
Yeah depends where you live and if you get rebates. If you compare top line to top line, the EV9 comes out under 10 K more with B.C. rebates in Canada. Can be even more depending on where you are.
🤟
Some kind of twist minded folks... If you don't like the Kia for over 70k dollars or worried about the frozen door handles in long cold winter area, then just pass it, and get a vehicle that you like!!! And find another decent reasonable or better EV if you can at the same price range for this Kia or Hyundai, that's it!!!
It's a review. It's not personal
All car doors and door handles freeze regardless of car brand
@@CodyChathe design of some door handles, and how water/snow/ice drain from the roof and windows make some far more prone to freezing than others.
If you don’t like review just pass on, no need to comment.
We are here to hear others experiences and decide what works best for us.
I am annoyed you can't get the Black & Tan interior with the Green paint.
4:10 300 real world miles or km? Love the EV9 anyway, chunky is good!
Does it come with 8 seats
Thank you
No. 6 or 7
Oh great! Another blue one.
What tires are you running??
Pirelli Scorpion Winter tires
@@EverydayReviews2022 Awesome, thanks!
I’ve noticed how cars just kept getting bigger while home garages just kept getting smaller
You got that right. My old house which is 40 years older had a much larger garage for a smaller house even.
Real World around 200miles of Range..
That’s exactly what I said. 200 miles= 320 kms. That was in about -2c average temperature in normal mode with heated seats, wheel and climate set at 22c /72f.
In a norwegian range test with very wintery conditions I believe they got more than 400kms. Speeds makes such a difference.
$1/2M+ house and has a 20x20 garage 😂 at least one section
More interesting is how do the door handles handle the birds' crap!
So confusing when you use degrees Fahrenheit but metric everything else.
I used F instead of C?
Its look like the tacoma just park beside the road.
80k usd for this exact model.
Are we supposed to get excited about a rear wiper?? 😂
When you come from IONIQ5 - YES!!
Tesla Model X storage is much more than this, and thanks to kia now it's cheaper
Build quality, charging speed, HUD ( oh yeah Tesla has no HUD) is so much better on Kia...oh and parking sensors lol actually exist on the Kia.
I got this one but I don’t like it. Car is awesome, but not for me. Too often needs to charge the car… only 290 miles can drive… too little for me. I prefer hybrid… for me is lot better.
Wow you drive a lot! If you’re doing more than that often then EV is not for you. We only charge about 1-2 times a week max and rarely get under 50%. Which trim did you get?
@@EverydayReviews2022 if i drive this car, will need to charge daily. Well my wife will drive, but i regret that I bought it! I got 2023 bmw 760i $95 for full tAnk and I like the fact that it’s good for me for good 2-3 days.
@@inshape1872 How long is your commute? OMG that’s so many miles. Are doing ride share?
Did you get the long range or standard range?
@@EverydayReviews2022 no. All cars for me, i use for business driving and I love to relax
How come Hyundai/ Kia cars are always so much cheaper in Canada vs the US.
In the US, I think the rivian is a better deal for slightly more money. We had an Ioniq 5 and I loved it! The ev9 drove like a big Ioniq but I didn’t feel it was worth the $76k usd, esp for the poor range. The 300+ mi range of my rivian makes long day trips so much easier without needing to charge, which was not the case w my Ioniq.
Agree. We have some of the best new car deals around because of our dollar plus this qualifies for all our rebates as well. Rivian much more $$$ in Canada though. Absolutely loved the R1S but I just don’t like one pedal driving and having no option to completely turn it off is a pass for me. My daughter gets sick when there’s a noticeable amount of regen braking regardless how smooth you drive.
Thanks also to the 2015 Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement that helps us to have reduced price for Korean cars.@@EverydayReviews2022
There is the 2015 Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement that help to reduce Korean car prices
If it costs $60K to replace an Ioniq5 battery, this one must cost $80K.☹
Just curious where you got that information? That seems unusually high considering the Ioniq 5 cost less than $60k. Keep in mind, a Tesla Model S battery pack replacement was sub $20k a few years back. There is greater supply today and battery costs are lower so, how could Kia's cost be 3 fold more than that today? I'm genuinely curious.
@@TheStep1980 there's facts about it online. Search it up.
The Rivian R1S dual motor is actually less than the Kia EV9 GT-line after the $3750 tax credit, at least in the US. Range is similar but the Rivian has more performance, more storage space, air suspension, bigger screen, better tech and app, nicer interior, off-road capability, higher towing capacity and more. The Kia has a bit more interior passenger room than the Rivian, since it's basically a minivan turned SUV. I'd say they are definitely direct competitors in those trims and would take the Rivian hands down. The EV9 AWD Wind seems like a bargain for low to mid 60s though, and the Rivian R1S dual motor performance and quad motor are best in class, albeit significantly more money at that point. That being said there are used quad motor R1S being sold for low 80s from preorder flippers now, essentially brand new with full warranty.
He don't know abut real technology for family ev car.
First, range and efficiency.
Second, Fast charging. Over 30 minutes for charging is not easy for family car(esp. winter and hot summer).
Third, motor power is not important for family car.
Fourth, EV9 have the newest battery technology. Do you know which country has a world best battery manufacturers?
Hmm interesting. I thought the R1S is 100k atleast. I have to look at the numbers again. US and Canada has different rebates as well. I hope the prices go down though and nacs soon
In Canada, the cheapest Rivian R1S is $116.5k new. Flippers are selling quad motor 2023 models in the $130k range.
The base model EV9 Light RWD is just under $60k. The full load GT-Line is somewhere around $79k… but this is before the market adjustments some Kia dealers will tack on. I remember someone posting on Reddit the dealer he dealt with tried to fleece him for $10k extra on top and he walked 😣
@@Fabulousprofound168 yeah that's the problem with dealers. I think there is something in the works for Korean makers and Amazon. That'll be the day! I'm not sold with these big family vehicle EVs though. The way I use them for, EV is not good enough. I guess the tech and infrastructure is not there yet.
I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers. The cheapest Rivian R1s on paper would be the dual motor noon-performance silver with standard battery for $78K. The Kia GT-Line MSRP starts at $73,900 before the incentives. So with the $3,750 cash or finance incentive that would be $70,150, well below the Rivian starting price of $78,000. And I have never heard of ANYONE getting the Standrad battery on the RIvian, which increases the practical starting price to $84,000 for the silver with large pack. You can increase the cost of the GT-Line with options, but you can do the same for the Rivian and they generally cost more for the Rivian. For example, let's upgrade both to blue. This will cost you an added $695 on the EV9 and $2,500 on the R1S. Now let's upgrade the interior finish -- $495 on the EV9, $2,000 n the R1s. The only upgrade that you can do on the EV9 that doesn't have a counterpart would be the second row relaxation seats for $2,000, and they are totally unnecessary -- you get the captains seats included in the base GT-Line cost so all that adds is power folding and footrests on a kid could enjoy. And all this is before you can deal with Kia to go below MSRP, which is quite common. My R1s order is $86.5K (for dual, large, blue). I can get a blue EV9 GT-Line for $70K right now from multiple dealers, or even less with a larger lease incentive. So in practice this are more like $15K apart. Don't get me wrong, I asbolutely love the Rivian. It's got better range, larger screen and better UI, air suspension, better off-roading and more cargo capacity. But the Kia has CarPlay/AA, paddle-shifting variable regen control, LCD rear view, much better driver asst, second row captains seat option, HUD, physical buttons for climate control, more useful fixed steering wheel buttons, and a drivers massage seat, among other plusses, and nets about $15K cheaper in the real world.
How stupid and unreasonable are people??? EVs are meant to be kept in a garaged space. If your residence or apartment building does not have a dedicated indoor parking spot, I do not recommend you purchase an EV. My wife has a Mini Cooper EV and she has no problems during the winter months, since her car is garaged and away from the cold and winter elements. When the EV is garaged in a conditioned space, the EV range will not drop during the winter months.
This isn’t a review. You just like the sound of your own voice.
There also a full review I. The video description as I mentioned. This was second time with it and wanted to share real world experience after a week with it. Actually can’t stand listening to my own voice. Who does?😂
@EverydayReviews2022 I wouldn't respond to comments like this lol. But that's just me.
lol 80k for a kia:).....i get a nice ice:) like a bmw \ audi or merc!
It does quality for EV rebates here in canada so buyers can get up to 12K off which for sure lessens the blow and brings it into the 60’s for the top trim.
bmw/audi/merc? lol. so basically ICE brands that cost a bomb at the garage and you spend more upkeeping? While i don't think EV are the best future, at least KIA is pushing for progress, plus the 7yr warranty kicks sand at those traditional ICE brand models.
I fell in love with the Kia EV9 but I don't look through rose-colored glasses like you do. We all know that sales of electric cars are falling significantly. Kia EV9, as a new model, will definitely be popular. But what will become clear in a few months, since Kia EV6 is in 8th place of the worst-selling EVs. There are currently 4,740 EV6 models for sale. And within 3 years it sells for 56% of its original value. I have an 8 month old Toyota Sienna Limited for $55k, currently they are giving me $57k for it at Carmax. Moreover, you can't get to Petoskey (Michigan) from Chicago with an electric Kia car because it doesn't have appropriate chargers. And tell me how much car insurance costs you. Because my Sienna is $1500 a year.
The instant I saw the real car I was turn off. Perhaps the largest disappointement from seing the initial concept pictures and even the initial autoshow piece then the production car. More boxy and emphasis on more angular especially the back it should have been like the concept pic. Too bad KN were on the up, and now knowing them using questionable tactics is really a turn off on the brand unfortunate as people and I started to like the brand more.
This is big F nuke boycott country jawpang 👎👎👎 car.
