Fulfill the brand new Kia EV9!
It's a brand-new super-imposing 7-seater from South Korea, and Mat's ready to find out if it can compete with class-leading all-electric SUVs like the Tesla Model X and BMW iX!
For beginners, simply have a look at that style! The EV9 is oh-so enforcing, with a chunky, squared-off style extending from the front to the rear. We love the blocky wheel arches and the new alloy styles – they're certainly offering this car a genuine cyberpunk feel. The headlights & taillights also look excellent, and we like the black window surrounds & matching roof bars. The blue paint just tops it off, too!
Step within and the EV9's cabin is well laid out. There's a huge infotainment & digital dial screen, and the good news is there are numerous physical and haptic feedback buttons. Interior quality is ok, but if you reach down a bit low you can anticipate to find some scratchy plastics! Luckily though we don't mind as there's loads of interior storage, and there's even the option to choose a six-seat set-up in the back.
When it concerns batteries and motors, the entry-level EV9 included a single electrical motor that can produce 203hp. The GT Line edition that we have here comes with double electric motors and the ability to put down 385hp. Both cars and trucks include a 100kWh battery, and while the entry-level has a series of 350 miles, the GT Line can only handle 315.
So all of it sounds excellent, but all this quality does not come low-cost! The EV9 begins with ₤ 65,000, rising up to ₤ 77,000 for the range-topper! So would you consider investing this much on a Kia? Stick with Mat to see if you should!
