And now Kia is giving the $7500 rebate themselves to get more people to buy the EV9. Plus most dealers are giving an additional rebate on top of that because no one is buying them. I got my EV9 Land with $7500 Kia rebate, $500 Kia Loyalty discount, and $7000 dealer rebate bringing a $75k MSRP car down to $65k out the door (after tax/title/doc fees). Tesla Model X can't beat that.
That stupid non-folding captains chair is the reason why I didn't get a plaid... no sure why Tesla did that, they should've allowed the Plaid configuration to also be 5/6/7 seats.
This is a pointless comparison ! Model X is a different beast and a beauty ! EV9 is a nicer soccer mom car aka Van ! There is NO Model X equivalent car out there for comparison ! Maybe EV9 vs Rivian Van would have been more appropriate comparison !
right? I find the Tesla to have a meh look, don't find them appeal that much, but the blue here does look fantastic. Right now Ionic 5, ev6, ev6 and model 3/y are the main ones on my mind, and the biggest factor is range. Also the model y's roof is fantastic too lol. Overall I think the model Y would be my choice for a well balanced car with range/charging being the main factors.
Thank you for this. I've been wondering about the EV9 but going to the dealership to take a look is dreadful. Bad enough I get so many spam calls a day, that's the feeling I get going to the dealership. So many good things about this car. But on/off button? How's the software support? Will the Kia boys be able to break in to this car? Even with continued issues with our Model X Plaid, I'm still happy with what we have... yes it sounds strange.
Wow, I've seen several videos and reviews on this SUV and I'm really liking it. It's the first electric vehicle that I've actually wanted to buy for the family. But starting at 55,000 i hope this will be sold as used vehicles in about a year.
Tesla would have dominated in this segment if they released a larger SUV with a functional 3rd row. Could have easily kept cost down too by staying with normal doors.
Come on Chris, don't believe sales agents when they say no mark ups! They will add extra warranties and/or fees one way or another... Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, but Kia/Hyundai Canada charged someone $60k for a battery replacement on the Ioniq 5, which coat 60k new. Tesla's are expensive, but I wouldn't trust dealerships with cars that are currently losing them money to sell. Maybe in their next gen models. I do agree the EV9 looks great and has a lot of useful features.
Instead of having the cars' doors opening 90 degrees, I'd rather have an option to limit it so I don't have to worry about my kid dinging the car next to me.
How many families that can afford a $55K+ vehicle have more than 2 kids? Hopefully, this pushes Tesla towards a less expensive X or a Cybertruck conversion to Cyber full size SUV.
Why do car manufacturers keep making the headliner cream colored or gray? Like why not color match the whole car all black … I’ve seen this a lot lately when they reach the final year before the redesign of certain cars then they make it all black
I’ve hated Kias for a few years because of their minivan, but this one definitely has some cool and nice features. Love the space and look, but the X has so much more, especially for just another $20k-$25k more. I also don’t like that the kia 7 seater is only available in the lower trims.
Great presentation you highlighted the benefits of both vehicles very well and while the model X is nice it just seems like the EV9 would suit our family better for road trips, especially when Kia gets NACS. Don't get me wrong, the Model X is faster, sporty, better frunk/sub trunk space, better software but 3rd row is too tight to accommodate taller passengers. Plus the EV9 is a better value for your money IF you can get it around MSRP. Loving the ocean blue color, looks sick.
The main reason why I would buy a Tesla model X over a Kia EV9 is because of the Tesla supercharger network. The Tesla supercharger network here in New York City is ubiquitous and easy to deal with. The EV9 is stuck using Electrify America or EVgo. That is unless you have your own charger at home. Beyond charging at home I don’t feel comfortable using the public charger networks and I would prefer access to Tesla supercharger network. If charging wasn’t an issue, then I would consider the EV9 definitely for a family of four. The EV9 is comfortable and it has plenty of luxury features all around including heated/cold seats for the front and the back passengers.
34:24 my wife JUST scolded me the other day for using my middle finger to control a touch screen at a hotel we were checking into. She said I look weird 😢
@akis.4493 I was a little upset about it, but it is a Korean exclusive. But honestly, the craze of the tesla people with their monitoring turned me off on the idea of it. They are so obsessive. I'm fine with just having the notifications of something wrong and the 360 view.
You can move the kia with the key fob if you want to get in, and there's not enough space... Model X doors are the first thing to brake. And model X is sooooo UGLY
you are funny on frunk lol, I am an 2 week proud owner of Land EV9 and after owning 20+ good cars like 4 MDX and Q7, I am super happy and just amazed on EV9, the designer team of EV9 precisely planned and design the EV9, Ihave also drove X and Y and asked my friends who owns both X and Y and Z lol, I hated how Tesla drives it was the most aweful driving experiance, Y was super AWEFUL to drive vs EV9 its so much fun to drive you feel like driving Suburban size of vehicle, suspension is out of this world with almost no noise inside and listening to Kia's own Nature of sound is priceless and calming. I loved the Amber lights wow, I bought the LED Spectrum as well and Golden State Warrior display theme which looks so cool. did you forget one special thing EV9 has - Apple Digital Car key which is not like Tesla Bluetooth key it is NFC and boy it syncs with your Apple account and will work even the phone is out of battery, the trunk can open as soon as walk behind car and no need to put down your grocery bag. can go on and on and on, I spent 8 hours and applied Avalon ceramic coating and now it shines so much and so much hydrophobic lol. LOVE IT. the only thing I wish kia would have added is dashboard cam, it has camrea all over but no option to record or view on red light. one last thing- I have 5 dealership or service centers to go in case I need help. I nhave same color. lol
Have a Plaid and just got the EV9 for Wife and kids. It’s amazing and Tesla better tighten their shit up as they won’t be dominant for very long with the innovations coming from Kia and Hyundai. Thanks for doing the video Chris and not being a fanboy exclusive to Tesla.
I forgot Meridian sound system, it is not too much sound but it is so crisp and all audiophile will appriciate the sound quality and boy it has Apple car play but guess what I am loving EV9's own mapping system, I love how it shows the exit or ramp with real sign on map.
Slightly used EV9s are an even better deal. I'm finding Wind and Land models slightly above $50k with 5k or less miles. That's a lot of car for the money.
Everyone brings up how the falcon wings make things easy… Most New England homes (and garages) are 8’ ceilings. Try getting your kid out of the car while in the garage with the motor and door there.
I'm just going to wait for the High Tech Chinese EVs at $22-33k from the likes of BYD that we will have in the US by 2027 or sooner which will easily have 300+ miles range
Weird that the third row isn't motorized in this trim (GT-line?). Here (Norway) you can lower and raise both second and third row from buttons in the trunk. There are also buttons to control the recline of the third row, by the cup holders in the back. Doesn't really matter all that much, but it's a nice feature to have.
Until these EVs can access the Tesla charging network, there is no point in buying them. Not because they are bad cars, many of them are more compelling and better built than the Tesla's. It is just because the 3rd Party charging networks are not maintained as they should be. There should never be a situation where you need to get a charge only to arrive at a charge, and it is not working properly. Also, the charging speeds need to be more consistent across the board. Tesla is the only provider of a well-maintained, consistent charging infrastructure. I am bullish that will change, but that is a big problem with EV adoption from manufacturers outside of Tesla at the moment, which is why it makes sense that they are all moving to the NACS standard.
Im 6’ 4” similar to you and i can say i didn’t fit a dealership in 3rd row maybe I needed to move second row up which i thought i did. I will check again a dealership. My wife palisade 3rd row is bigger it seems. Thanks for the video
THAT EV9 LOOKS THE BOOM 💥 👌 FCUK THE TESLA LOOKS HORRIBLE AND I HAVE EXCELLENT EYE 👁 SIGHT ! EV9 IS SO BEAUTIFUL 😍 SAW ONE FOR THE FRIST TIME ON THE ROAD YESTERDAY ITT JUST LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL KIA ARE SMASHING IT 👏
The X has some cool features but for me personally the exterior design just looks too dated. It's been time for a ground up redesign of both the Model S and Model X.
I would think about it if it had a longer range because it is a bigger vehicle, for a contemporary family the tesla is fine and I would think it is safer, I am not interested in being able to carry more adults, because each adult has their own car.
two things with the tesla x windshield...the tint seems too far down and i can see the reflection of the road lines in my peripheral vision and it is annoying...
No. Woeful quality control, inconsistent infotainment, cheap materials, low space utilization, etc. GM's developers seem lost for a while. Or dozed off. I'm not forcing you to buy EV9. Just not to buy Lyriq.
To be honest, the third row is useless for people with actual legs. you have to push the second row all the way forward to have leg room,. It's literally the same size as a Telluride - which is smaller than a Model X. the Third row only has 30" of legroom. If you have a car seat back in the third row the kids legs will be cramped and they will be kicking the crap out of the seat in front. The EV9 is literally a stretched out Kia Soul. After seeing it in person it's a hard NO for me! In videos it appears to be much larger, but in reality it's not. If you are looking for a compact SUV, then the EV9 is for you. if you want mid-size you need to look towards the Rivian R1S.
I get Tesla is cheapy and “ghetto” (lol) but it still is way more premium than the EV9. But I am sure Kia will get better. Now, let’s see how the Lucid Gravity is going to be.
Thanks for the great detailed video comparison! I've always been a Tesla fan, but the Kia EV9 is looking really cool!

Hey Chris i wanted to know how the ev9 lane keep compares with autopilot. I hear Kia/Hyundai lane keep is pretty good but is it as good as autopilot?

Every Kia dealership I've been there are discounts. plus 75k or 11k off in rebates debating on your state. Overall it's a way better value.
Generally Model X is much better but I don't think it is $20K difference. EV9 is better choice if you can save $20K
Instead of having the cars' doors opening 90 degrees, I'd rather have an option to limit it so I don't have to worry about my kid dinging the car next to me.
You should check out the hybrid Kia Carnival, many features like these with even more room.
Great video and very informative!
The main reason i would choose Kia over Tesla..... ANDROID AUTO
How fast the mood has changed. Last year EVs were the pariah. Now they are the new standard.
Competition brings innovation and lower prices.
The EV9 has a smaller frunk, because, Kia prioritise inside space instead of frunk space.
Model x for me. You just can’t compare the performance of the model x.
And tesla charging infrastructure makes all the differences.
Tesla all the way. Ever take a look at a three year old Kia they all horrible broken parts and faded paint. Just pointing it out.
How many families that can afford a $55K+ vehicle have more than 2 kids? Hopefully, this pushes Tesla towards a less expensive X or a Cybertruck conversion to Cyber full size SUV.
I just picked up a 2019 model x for 45k. 48k miles. I'm super happy with it. Upgraded from a Y. Have 2 kiddos
Or 2 kids + Nannys :) since I am in Asia… 5 seats are not enough anymore 😅

It's literally the same size as a Telluride - which is smaller than a Model X. the Third row only has 30" of legroom. If you have a car seat back in the third row the kids legs will be cramped and they will be kicking the crap out of the seat in front. The EV9 is literally a stretched out Kia Soul. After seeing it in person it's a hard NO for me! In videos it appears to be much larger, but in reality it's not. If you are looking for a compact SUV, then the EV9 is for you. if you want mid-size you need to look towards the Rivian R1S.
R1S is crazy expensive. Not even in the same price bracket!
This is like a comparison between apple and android 😂

Kid need reclining seats? lol will stick with a model x
Take both on a road trip and you will know why lol..
Being 6'3" is def not a bad thing. Lol
I get Tesla is cheapy and “ghetto” (lol) but it still is way more premium than the EV9. But I am sure Kia will get better. Now, let’s see how the Lucid Gravity is going to be.
You in San Diego? I heard Coronado. Lol
