I bought a white GT line EV9 and traded in the most dependable ranked car in the U.S.A - a loaded 2020 Toyota 4 runner. I’ve driven Toyotas my entire life for their dependability and reliability. I decided to take the risk and just go for it and I’m so glad I did. I absolutely love this car and it’s my first EV and I am mind blown. I bought the GT line for 69K out the door after rebates and discounts. No leasing. I bought it out right.
Congrats! Similar situation for me: pebble grey, loaded GT-Line. $67,500.
I paid 62500$ for 78k MSRP one
Black color
@@islami.i2111 great deal!
I own a EV9 LAND. Best EV I’ve owned. And I’ve had six prior.
Love my EV9 GT-Line. I've had it since launch week. Just a nice overall car like you said. Would never go back to ICE after this experience.
Yea it's so solid
I’m waiting for my black Land AWD to arrive in a few weeks. I test drove a Light RWD last week…eco mode is insane on its own.
It’s the no delay, no down shifting, that does it for me.
I’m upgrading from a 10yo 2015 Leaf I’ve had since 2016.
I bought exactly this one a few month ago in S. Korea and it completely broke my stereotype about Korean Car. Even I am a Korean but I didn't like Korean cars because of its weak powertrains compared to Germans, so bought mostly German cars (BMW).
But in EVs it is totally different story. I pushed this car to limit (here in S. Korea, there is a lot of places for overspeeding where the speed radars are not emplaced), this thing rips on corners, back winding road, even on highway lane change with overspeeding. EThe level of regen braking of E-GMP platform is top notch.
Even I am Korean and I still can't believe how fast and well Korean car company steps forward in EV generation. It is really astonishing.
A good review. One thing that I noticed next to the charger in the trunk was the V2L adapter which allows you to run 110v 18amps out of your charge port without the car being on. This means that it will cover much of your home in a power outage, or you can run an air fryer or espresso maker at a picnic.
The braille comment is gold lol
I love my Wind trim. I needed the bench seat. Am I the only one who sets the climate on auto and just adjusts the temp?
Glad that I am planning to buy one in a fully loaded GT Line trim with Relaxation Package.
They aren't selling in my part of the country (Okla), dealers offering $14K off MSRP on GT-Line EV9's. Cheap sub-$3 gas and fully maxed out Tellurides at $53K probably doesn't help sell EV9's.
I appreciate that Kia went and created a better MDX that is electric while Acura was busy playing footsie with GM. Your move, Honda.
Whenever comparing gas to electric vehicles, you have to compare more than just the cost of gas at the pump vs electricity savings. You have to add in maintenance too. That adds a big amount of money not having to do oil changes, flushes and so on that gas cars have to do to maintain or even just go wrong over the life of the vehicle. Yes, EVs do go thru tires a bit quicker, but still doesn't add that much over time compared to what the gas equivalent car will do.
I hope the EV9 takes off. It’s perfect for the suburban family. The outside screams future ev, but the inside checks all the boxes. And I say all this as a R1S owner. We test drove the EV9 but R1S has been a favored for awhile so it was really no competition.
We preferred to stick with a known brand and save 30k.
USA pricing for EV9 is horrible, in canada maxed out telluride is 67k, maxed out ev9 after rebates is 74K... 7K equals 5k USD difference, EV9 is 56k USD
Another great review. Safe travels. I am still in my Y. Looked at the CT this week at the Richmond, TX Tesla store. All my friends/employees were let go. Very sad. My prediction is Austin will ramp up CT to fill all the orders and pull back on Y production. The Y's at the Richmond, TX store were from Fremont.
I need a Gjeebs style cross country trip in the EV9 so can decide to pull the trigger. The leases on the EV9 in my area are less than 600 a month with zero down for a GT line with 12k miles per year
That's a really solid deal. I'd love to road trip one of these
Please update if you get that. Whenever I brought an advertised lease deal in, what I got back was never that. It was always much more. I ended up buying but would have preferred leasing
This is in Colorado so they toss an extra 5k on the hood. The numbers included taxes. The wind was just under 500
I like the kia ev9 it's useful. The price is a killer though.
Slapping them cheeks side to side..😅😂🤣
15:45 damn hypermobile joint
I just got an email about your new Into the AM T shirt. I like it.
I just got the base model for $45k .
Thats awesome!
id wait for NACs and supercharger access
Think Citroen may have been scooped by Kia their Oil concept birthed this design aesthetic that Kia is spreading across its lineup towards 2027
Kia not playing..
Great review. Really interested in this car but im not convinced it would be a good road tripper due to the ccs and also that it charges terribly on tesla superchargers due to 800v architecture. Thanks for the review.
You’re buying that too?
I am not buying an EV9
Accelerator pedal. Come Jeebs
I'm hooked on the austere dash of my Model Y. I think I'd freak out if I had to go back to a button encrusted dashboard lol. Great vid as always, Ben!!!
I had almost all Lexus cars in the past
Including LX600
Currently have GX550 and Kia EV9 GT Line
EV9 GT is the best car for its price
I paid 62500$
It beats Lexus TX and other cars
Tesla can't even come close to Kia's quality
Don't even compare
Plus much higher Insurance rates!
I just wish their head rests didnt push your head so far forward. I have scoliosis and the Ioniq 5 I test drove gave me a migraine. A deal breaker on a car I would have otherwise bought
I hears it has a NBA theme
Electrify America, EVGo and most all other non-Tesla chargers are dumpster fires. Is KIA adopting NACS so it can charger at Tesla superchargers? If so, when? If not, very disappointing.
DO NOT CALL IT GASSSSSSSSS ⛽️ PEDAL!!!! 😖😫😬 cringe
Gas forever
@@Gjeebs 🤣😂
fire your editor
78k f u
Only has two major issues: 1) no NaCS, 2) it’s a K I A
No Kia is worth $53K
60K for a Kia? 😐
Get the Model X instead. You're welcome.
Model X is not in the same size class.
Not a fan of the looks, sorry
Don’t be sorry cause no one cares. Love this kia
Don’t buy a Hyundai or Kia. Don’t fall for the design and gimmicks. Under the skin it will always be utter junk.
