Is the Kia EV9 a Good Family Car?

- The Kia EV9 is Kia's all electric three row SUV. I was so excited to finally get the chance to tour this highly anticipated vehicle. There is A LOT I like about this car... its aesthetics, technology and first and second row comfort... just to name a few. There are also some things I don't love... the price and third row leg room are tough. Overall, this electric SUV could be an answered prayer to families looking to go electric.

Thank you for this!! We were looking into it as a growing family of 5+ and this does NOT appear to be anything better than what we already have as a Yukon XL. I really appreciate this!
EV9 is technically a mid size SUV so that makes sense
Yay! I was waiting for you to review this!
LUV your videos! Can you please review large luxury sedans ...Porsche Panamera, BMW 7, and Mercedes S? Thank you!
Would love to see a tour of the bench seat model, very interested in this car but only the bench, and have two carseats to install.
Love mine!
Suntrup Hyundai apparently has a new ‘24 Santa Fe Limited in transport. How about a review on that when it comes out
I sat in the 3rd row and it was a little smaller then I expected but at the same time I know this is only a mid-size SUV. It's fine for what it is and it's comparable to the MDX in that car the middle seat doesn't slide forward. You would need to take that out to make it more comfortable.
$60K for an MDX A-spec or $75K for an EV9 GT-line. Don't forget that the EV9 qualifies for the EV tax credit if you're leasing at this time bringing it down to $67.5K. Also some dealerships are already taking around $3K off as well. So now you're looking at around the $64.5K. I think it's worth it and I'm an Acura fanboy. Just wait until the end of this year and it would even be cheaper.
Yessssss im so happy u reviewed the kia ev9 cuz its such a lit car
The EV9 is .3 inches longer than the Telluride. The Wheel base is 8 inches longer than the Tellurides Wheel Base. The EV9 is the 2024 North American Car of the year.
Kia is giving manufacturer discounts 5-7k (a way to compete and counter the pending fed credits they have yet to be qualified for) plus rebates depending on your state.. so that's 8-9k discount off the MSRP. So.. 62k+ for a top of the line 3 row SUV with luxury features cant be beat.
2:42 l error on sizing compared to Telluride. You said inches. It’s only about 10 millimeters different in size. So it’s pretty much the exact same as Telluride.
oh i see you were confused. The WHEEL BASE is 8 inches longer. You need to clarify that, many people will think it’s the length of the car overall.
Next Lucid Gravity 👍👍
👏👏👏
Li L9 Best of the best😇
Like ev vehicle the issue I have is ( which I have seen on other sites) the cost to replace the battery if it breaks or gets into a accident 😢
US mandates minimum 8 year/100k battery warranty. Also, your insurance would act the same as a with a gas car in an accident.
As you review EVs adding in your thoughts on the time to charge would be good.
Is the option to charge at home likely going to be the most common way of charging?
@@TheSalPic the option to charge at home should be the primary way of charging for any EV owner otherwise the economics of EV ownership won’t make sense
@@wheelsee that's what I thought.
You should also review the Volvo ex 90
Not out yet. She probably will!
Would you choose it over the Rivian?
Yes, longer established car company, service stations available and more reliable future financially
👍
🙏🙏💯
First 🎉
The Tesla y has a 3 row option and about 50k msrp .
But it is MUCH smaller
Kelly this is useless unless you show us if it’s easy to buckle in back there
Watch Motormouth video on Kia/Hyundia E-battery costing $60k to replace if damaged!
Not even the battery being damaged. Just the protective plate
@@devnull182 , yes! I am steering clear of the brand . Ive read that customer service, in general, is beyond horrible.
People should definitely ask the dealer the cost of battery replacement before buying. The warranty is good but if it’s damaged it wouldn’t be covered by warranty and is an important piece of info to know.
@@chags3512 , yes the Motormouth video mentioned this. Very concerning and eye opening about EVs in general
@@midlifemom5829 it’s VERY confusing that it costs that much as a Tesla battery is $9k to $18k. Still a lot but not more than the car like the Hyundai.
Ev's are too expensive for everyday people
Has anyone compared ice car plus gas plus maintenance to EV and it's no gas (all ev owners I know charge at home 99% of the time but I know that's not true of everyone) and lack of maintenance like oil changes? I wonder how long it takes to even out?
It’s not that hard to calculate. I would save around $2000 a year and I love EV functionality of HVAC without idling.
If this car payment is $1200 and telluride is $800. My gas savings alone is $500 a month. + Maintenance even more. I have $0 ev charging :) if I do need to charge I have solar at home with extra nem credits so that helps
Not true. People who say that are the same people that were against the automobile in the horse and buggy days.
I expect my 80,000$ to get me more luxury than that
really don’t know how much more u can get … ventilated and heated front and rear seats and massage front seats?? cant think of another car that has those features on a mass market brand like kia.
the “mesh” headrests are questionable i will say…
It’s an ev what else do you expect for 80k?
@@RRLV434For 80k I expect an R1S or a base IX, not a telluride with a battery
@@auronedgevicks7739wtf, ppl are comparing the ev9 to the telluride bc of the legroom figures, and overall size and even so the telluride is a very popular model for kia.
Overpriced
I will buy an EV when it takes same time to fuel as my gas car.
Do you not have access to home charging?
@@chags3512many people dont, and even if they do, it often costs $3-5k to upgrade your homes breaker to support level 2 charging... There goes any of your fuel “savings” that you’d get by buying an EV over the course of 5 years.
@@jakes5530 agreed many people don’t but it was $600 to install in my garage. I think the average is $1000. You can technically charge on any normal outlet that is properly wired but those are really slow and not enough if you need to relish more than 40 miles overnight
Which will not be anytime soon lol
@@chags3512 even with home charging it still doesn’t charge in 5mins.
MSRP OF WHAT?!? Yeah no thanks lol
The fact that someone who owns a 1 year old EV is on the hook for $50K to replace his battery, and that EVs are freezing this winter makes this a little dubious no?
US has a min of 8 year/100k battery warranty for starters and gas cars also “freeze” at those temps and their range drops.
@@lorenaskandalaris380 that warranty didn't help the guy who had to Shell out via his insurance $50,000.. insurance opted to call the car a right off instead
“Frunk” is such a cringey term and dumb. It’s just a trunk. No one calls the back/rear trunk “brunk” or “r-runk “. 🤦♂️
Frunk is a widely accepted term in the EV world. Also no one would call it a “brunk” because it’s already got a name, trunk.
Origin of the world trunk:
North Americans use the term “trunk” because up until the 1930’s most drivers used to strap travel chests, called trunks, to the backs of their cars. Of course, once automakers started designing cars with built-in rear compartments, there were no longer any reasons to travel with trunks. The name, however, stuck.
Agree I've never heard the term frunk
The first time I heard someone in the automotive world use it I thought it was a bit goofy, but think about it; if you wanted to differentiate from which trunk you wanted your teenager to grab their soccer gear, you'd need a term. 'Front trunk' just becomes 'Frunk' 🤷 (unless we adopt 'bonnet' from the Brits?)
@@MarcChevalier there you go. boot and bonnet.
@@wheelsee hardly widely accepted. Historically, rear and mid-engined gas cars like Porsche and VW Beetle have had either both front and rear trunks or at least the front. They were just called trunks.
Ay Kelly as much as I watch your cars reviews I don't like to ro see EV car reviews because they never advise buyers about how expensive is to replace the batteries from this crappie cars including the Hybrid cars
When’s the last time you asked how expensive it was to replace an engine?
Better questions may be how often do you have to get new tires, EVs are a lot heavier and the instant torque really wears on the tires?
Are you eligible for the $7500 tax credit and how to find out and file for it?
How is your state doing with the federal money from the IRA bill - used to build a crap ton of chargers across the country.
Asking about battery replacement and how EV are a fire hazard is FUD.
Batteries are guaranteed for 8 years. Most people change cars every 4. So the original owner won't need to know that, or worry about it. Once again if you don't have one, don't drive one don't make assumptions on what you here or read cause people and networks have biases.
What a strange comment. Batteries are under warranty just like engines
