Hope you enjoyed folks! Apologies for a small edit error: we forgot to add the lower third listing range. For this Dual motor car it’s quoted at 313 miles / 505km. Anyhoo - what do you make of the EV9?

Just a question, but why don you give us give a peak at the energy consumption during the test? It may not be particularly scientific in terms of comparison with other cars due to changing conditions etc but most current EV drivers can account for that due to experience. Its far more important info than the exterior walkaround for instance.

@@siviterit’s not a value for money thing, although I’m not convinced it is that brilliant when you think of the cost for the “essentials”. It’s more a case of a living with a car with just a “iPad”, very few buttons, no HUD and a below par boot. You’re paying for the brand more than a practical, safe vehicle. I really wanted to like it, and even put down a deposit after seeing it, but on watch all the driver reviews I have cooled considerably and we are likely to request the deposit back. Just disappointment following all the hype. Our present Kia E Niro has proved a revelation, but it is time to update, and the external design of the EX30 was very alluring and we thought we’d found the update, but internally the EX30 is far too Spartan and pared back. The Kia EV3 looks like it has what we want on paper and the spec of the EV9 shows us that Kia is moving forward with EV design, not just cutting costs under the disguise of supposed better internal design.

I thought the XPeng G9 might be in a similar category but I just checked and it seems they don't (yet?) offer it with 7 seats. Personally I think these things are over the top and am more excited to see more about the upcoming EV5 which looks like a little brother to this ;)

I first played the "nerdy regen paddle game" a few years ago in the e-Niro when coming down from the Ardeche....about 30 minutes of descending, some very steep downhill and twisty bits but never needed to touch the brakes once. My 2019 e-Niro may look a bit 'old hat' now but with 92,000 km on the clock it been faultless so far.. setting up regen braking with paddles seems such a logical thing to do, not sure I could move now to an EV that didn't have it. This EV9 monster is way outside of what a retired couple like us need, not to mention way outside our budget but it looks to be a tour de force for Kia that will win a lot of new customers.

Fully Charged Team, Another great video on driving electric. When will we see an electric cabriolet? Imagine yourself driving quietly with the rooftop open to listen to the birds in the forest you drive through.

From what I hear the concept of fully-charging is not actually good for your EV… maybe re-name the Team to ’80% capacity team’… just an idea to stay ahead guys!

@JackScarlett1 do you think there'd be a possibility that you get to try the Rivian R1S in a near future? Would be great to see how you fit in the 3rd row in comparison to the EV9!

@JackScarlett1 Another fantastic review. Not a car for me but I'm excited to see the accelerating pace the Koreans have been on; if only the Japanese car makers would figure it out and catch up.

A bit of maths using the video figures says 270ish miles range, although the Kia site says up-to 349... £64k - £78k apparently

Not told. The big battery (100 kWh) has EPA 304 miles; 489 km. Price ranges from 56k to 75k USD.

I'm not a fan of some of Kia's design choices, but I love the form factor. At the moment, my daily driver here in the U.S. is a Mustang Mach-E, but we've kept our Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid (PHEV) minivan for those times we need to convey 5 large adults or a lot of cargo. My plan is that, when my Mach-E's lease ends in 2026, I'll probably return it, retire the minivan, and replace them both with a single, 7-seater EV like this (or more probably the coming Ford entry into the segment).

When is this coming out? I'm getting it if the power charging time and mileage consumption is reasonable.

Great review but let's hope limited numbers of these sell as way too big for most people's needs and size of modern carparks 😂 Maybe good for airport transfers??

That weight is insane imo. It's the biggest turnoff for me. I would only need the space/towing a couple times per year. But it is insane to lug around all year.

Hope you will take a look at the EV5 soon, seems like the most affordable in the line up.

What about the seating distribution? Was it 2-2-3 (w front-2 mid- 3 back)?

I drove the new Kona a few weeks ago. That also beeped at me whenever I ever so slightly got over the speed limit. It was infuriating.

Would it be bad if the wheel just vibrates instead of beeping? I'm thinking how my PlayStation duel controller use to vibrate when something in the game needed to draw my intention about danger.

Bit low for a Landrover lookalike, hate all the beeping and I hope the fake road noise can be turned off. Overall good attempt so I live in hope for more in this bracket as we don't all love or want 'runabouts' that can squeeze through medieval Italian city streets.

I really do like this KIA Jack, but you should test drive the NIO ES8. Ask Elliot about it. Thanks for all of your hard work sir.
