KIABOIZ!!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Helps when it's the first and only one in its segment. The only comparable vehicle is the Rivian R1S but costs at least $20-$30K more.

Definitely not a segment leader. Telluride and Palissade have one of the worst reliability and quality reports in the segment, and this is the same segment. New Kia and Hyundai EVs also have plenty issues, I doubt people will sway towards this cheaply made overpriced pos

Just wait for the GT1 to debut. Sounds like a solid stinger successor.

​@@Brian-jv8iyare you looking at the right reviews and testing? Both of those cars have great quality inside and reliability. Coming from someone that worked with multiple car dealerships and went to see who actually bought cars into service, those cars have normal service issues, meaning OL, ROT, Fluids and normal checking. Maybe a battery died here and there but those car are built well and if anyone were to buy them you can definitely get 150k+ miles with normal overtime issues such as maybe the water pump failing, brake changes, battery changes. Literally the small stuff that is normal not oh my transmission is violently jerking because it's about to fail or oh my ignition coils are failing because too much oil pressure from the engine which can also lead to other major issues such as burning oil and potentially leaks. These things are nowhere near common on those cars.

As a family man with young children, who’s not quite ready to get a family EV, I’m excited that there is plenty of time for Kia to push Toyota to develop and release a 7-seater EV by the time I’m ready!

😅😊😊😊😅😅😮

Honestly, I don’t get why everyone complains about it. It doesn’t bother me in my Sportage. First, you get used to it and second, audio controls are easier on the steering wheel or screen anyways.

American consumers are too lazy to learn anything new. There's nothing wrong with that dual climate/audio controls. I think it's clever

❤xe về việt nam Có nguyên bản không cắt thì buồn

because Americans will use them as gunner seats 😂

I know, babies can sit backwards, if it's safer for them why not adults?

No side camera mirrors either but that's a good thing

Not sure why it doesn’t have them because the old Chrysler minivan had that option

​@chris8sirhc and it was touted as a big selling feature

😂😂😂

I agree. I remember people would laugh at Kias or Hyundais but damn they look good and are reliable now

12 dead. because of KIA hyundai

Looks, yes but long term reliability is still an open question. There’s a reason they are pricing their vehicles so aggressively, they are compromising under the hood to give you that stylish appearance.

@@dwadd7528i work at kia and the updates are declining break ins over time when i first started we would get a break in at least 3 or 4 times a week now its dropped to one every other 3 weeks so its making a difference also its only the older models with the key ignition, keyless ones aren’t an issue at all just wanted to throw this out there, newer models are really killing it

​@@emed1977bro what are you talking about ? 😂😂😂😂 obviously you aren't getting informed about how successful Kia has been in the last 5 years !!! Get informed first dude 😎

I have to disagree. I would not buy this Kia over a Model S, or a Model 3 or a Model X as well as a Model Y! Teslas are eight years ahead of any other car company and they’re S-E-X-Y!

@@cliffx7 Elon Musk is a tool.

@@cliffx7 Until all of your body panels start to separate from each other

Same here Model Y owner who has been looking at a X for the third row but it’s way too much

Same situation. We have a 3rd kid on the way and the while my oldest can ride in the 3rd row of the MY, she’s gonna hate it pretty quickly. The R1S and Model X are simply too much.

Haha thanks Bear!

Thanks for havin me!!!

Glad I could chime in. 😂

I don’t know what you consider “affordable” I think this thing is going to be around 50-70 grand.

Ok rich liberal sheep

+1, Micaha’s ad-libs kinda came off as micromanaging. I guess it was supposed to translate to comedy, but I’m pretty sure Mike could’ve made his own corrections in edit. 🤷🏾‍♂️

$50-70 ain’t much nowadays.

While Micah does his own channel, he's still the leading voice on KBB.

The metric system is stupid. You have feet don't you? Now imagine your foot making up 6 sides of a cube. Why is that complicated?

@@Josh-179 Metric system is so stupid that the US military and medical use Metric and every country in the world except for 3 uses it.

Much appreciated, Booker!

Weight doesn't affect range and consumption as much in an EV as it does in an ICE car, because an EV can recoup most of the energy when stopping. A bigger factor is aero, especially at highway speeds.

if Hyundai adopts the NACS then i would consider getting the EV9

@@SKJT93 Hyundai and Kia have adopted NACS.

Even if they don’t have the NACS port, just use an adapter. You don’t need a NACS port to use a NACS charger.

@@gregoryneedsaname I am aware :)

Thanks Jonah 🙏🏾

yea fr ngl didnt like him at first but he cool now lmao

@@insooleedat1asiandude 🤣 well damn it In So Lee I’m happy to have changed your mind, bro 😂

I agree! Mike's videos are really good. Except for Micah butting in randomly. J/K Micah, you're awesome (as is Mike) 👍

Stealership will ask one question. Left or right? Kidney for markup over MSRP. But hey you get to choose which one.

They will

Haha. Just sold my Pacifica hybrid. I loved that car, but wished it was a full ev. I’m also looking into the buzz or ev9. Just hope they won’t be too pricey.

VW will be more practical as its literally a van so if that's something u care about go ID buzz! The retro but modern look is also cool. Thinking it will have better space in the 3rd row and behind it for cargo as no SUV is better than a minivan for that

@@Carfan678 The problem w/ the buzz is that it doesn't have the traditional US minivan functionality like removal 2nd row seats, foldable 3rd row or storage. Also the VW infotainment sux compared to hyundai's. but both of these vehicle lack the range needed to be good family road trippers.

Those are the two I'm looking at as well. I need something to accommodate my 3 kids in car seats. The wife likes the powered sliding doors of the Buzz and I like the price (and potential EV tax credit if built in the U.S.) of the EV9. I don't think I'll be disappointed in either but if the price difference is high enough I might go with the Kia.

Glad to have you, Francis!

I did I did! It was a great experience out there! Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

And by then you will need to put a new battery in it…

Thanks for that, Jairo!

🤣🤣🤣

It has 300+ miles plus a charge time of 25 minutes. Thats plenty for 99% of trips! That’s drive for 4 hours, charge 25 minutes, drive for another 3.

@@aoreizi the all-wheel drive would the larger battery goes 266 mi. You are right that is good for most trips. However, my model 3 goes 350 mi, and it's all-wheel drive. In reality that distance is closer to 300 on a highway. But, there are Tesla superchargers everywhere whereas chargers for the ionic 5 are few and far between and unreliable.

@@daveromanyshyn1170 Yes, many factors affect range like powertrain, weather, speed, elevation gain/loss, etc. That being said, at a certain point the size of the battery (or available range) becomes less important and charging becomes the priority. With the Hyundai and Kia EVs, they charge really fast. In some areas of the country there are many fast chargers. In other areas not so much. That is where the improvement needs to happen, not so much with 300ish miles of range and fast charging speeds of up to 240 kW, that is sufficient for most drivers.

Dealer markup will be ridiculous though.

True, but can be distracting when driving and the screen won’t turn back to navigation and your turn is coming up in 100 feet. I think it would be great to have the option to adjust sensitivity, then you can please everyone!

@@yesmikedanger Oh no! Gawd forbid that you can't get back to navigation and your turn is coming up! 🤣You'll have to do like us with our old cars from the turn of the 21st century 😂 We are relying too much on technology, which worries me sometimes.

Thanks for watchin’, Josh!

I agree with your train of thought in general. The towing rating of 5,000 pounds doesn't really matter when you can't go more than ~120 miles towing a full load. But for some people that may check all the boxes. But who knows-- I really need to buy my first EV so I can run it through the paces and formulate my own reality-based opinion. I spend a lot of time camping and exploring, so range is one of the most important things to me, so I'll likely wait for one of the EV trucks/SUV's that's pushing up into the 400-500 mile range (and something with an NACS port).

​@@Kee_Diddy I have a truck currently and it's so clutch with towing and hauling stuff. EV's aren't there on trucks. The F-150 Lightning is laughable on range and price. The Rivian R1T is laughable on price and truck-like utility. If I was forced to buy an EV, I would buy a Chevy Bolt EUV before Chevy stops making them. Good amount of room inside for four passengers, nice cargo area, 240-ish miles of range (call it 150 miles in winter with an 80% charge). It doesn't have the longer range or fast charging you see on newer stuff, but it also doesn't have the price tag that goes along with that crap, and I would not use it to road trip, so 150 miles is plenty on a daily basis.

Lol!!! Aw thanks 😂

What up Trey!!!

Do you know how heavy this thing would’ve been if they increased the range.

@@al151 yeah that is a factor but after owning a Truck with 320 miles of range 300 is not enough When you add cold temperatures and highway driving will drop the range down to around 180 to 200 and that is no bueno

I'm suprised with a vehicle this size they don't have a long range option for a larger battery.

I mean it’s teetering on that level, right??

Good to know. It's possible the US specs may be different and the suspension is better. We'll see

Thank you Mr. Giles! The QX60 was my first solo KBB review 🥹
