For the door handles, just change the settings in the menu. Pretty simple and then they can all open as you approach!

The guy rides an Evie so you'd think anything named "EV" would... I best not finish that dumb Dad joke even if today is Father's Day

Wow Kia thinks of everything...even a crotch adjustment feature 😮 Kia/Hyundai putting out some nice looking EV products! Nice work Muzio family 👏👏

You found the hard way to open the hood. There is a button to the left of the steering wheel. And on the key fob.

Happy Father's Day Micah! 🎉

I love that you paid attention to the child-friendly aspects, like the seat latches... the EV9 is my dream EV as a family man, and it's great to know that I could have a couple of kids in the back without worry... once I figured out the door handles.

To open the hood, button behind the signal lever on dash. X2 symbol you push twice & frunk opens. The pull lever in panel is the backup if there’s no power.

I was just waiting to see this review! Thank you so much and great job!

Great stuff! Any plans on reviewing the Lyriq/Blazer EV/Prologue/ZDX

The regenerative brakes are awesome on the ev9. And at 100% charge in eco mode I’m getting an estimated 340-360 miles. I doubt that that’s totally accurate but still notably more than the 280 miles as spec’d.

Hiii! Awesome review. I would say though, had a friend get the light trim recently, such a cool car but oh boy… 6000 pound car meet 200 ish hp , it got scary once or twice when she needed it to get up and go 😅 it definitely is a bit slow and she’s not my crazy drivin speed demon self by any means and she was concerned. Any chance yall have driven it and can confirm?

We haven't driven the Light trim but your math checks out. The acceleration numbers are quite slow.

a kia being rich family friendly. how times have changed 😢

Although there’s no oil, under the plastic panels there is still coolant reservoir & brake fluid to monitor.

Need a podcast called “long torso”. 🦎

Expensive, but I think they're really going for "discount premium" here especially on this trim. Made for people forgoing an X5 or GLE

I love the wheels!

Since most 3 rows right now cost 50k minimum what are your thoughts on rich family friendly in this atmosphere?

It has a retro-futuristic vibe to it. It looks like my friends Scion Xb 🤔

FYI… i like this family

Currently the thing old me off is it ability to up convert the 400v Tesla charger can only goes up to 84 kw which is not so good for trip.

Micah Happy Fathers Day my friend.🇺🇸 Merica

I saw one a couple days ago and it looked smart and cool. Driver looked very happy too. But yeah, 4 spoke wheels are no good. Make it look like your car has square tires (like a kid drew it) and 4 spokes put a large gap of stress between the spokes. 5 is the magic number for smart wheel design. More is unnecessary and 4 is risky, especially with a heavy car.

@rhuynh

11 күн бұрын

Is not 4 spines underneath. That's just the cover. Many more spokes underneath

Those front seats are standard on the GT line. The second row seats are the upgrade.

With declining buyer interest and sales of EVs plummeting, I’m curious to know if that decline is also reflected in EV reviews. Have you found that your YT reviews for EVs gets less engagement? Is there a parallel between EV sales and EV reviews engagement?

@MicahMuzio

Good question. It really depends on the EV. Our Mercedes EQE video did terribly. Meanwhile our EV9 is one of our best performing videos currently ranked 2 of our last 10 videos.

@wordsworthbklyn

I think it depends on the ev reviewed for sure. These companies are playing catch up with Tesla. The other cars need Nacs and dealers need to be honest about having a garage is key. I’ve only charged 4-5 times last year on the road. People also imo think they drive more than they do.

how's the sound system?

@heyou429

6 күн бұрын

It’s decent. Average, I guess. Easy to customize and alter sound settings but I notice that the low frequencies (bass) is more prominent in the second and third rows than in the front.

Soo...i am pretty sure irs not a midsized SUV (then again , a highlander is still considered midsize so i guess this is a me problem, lol) but otherthan that its a good video as always (so far atleast - still watching)

Isn't saying you have a long torso another way to say you have short legs?

it better be better than the telluride for 75 k

OF COURSE IT'S BETTER THAN THE TELLURIDE. It's built to be better. It's priced accordingly. You're asking the wrong question. Question is, is it WORTH buying the ev9, over an ICE vehicle? My answer is no. EV9 as an in-town family vehicle is great. But as an all around family car that can do the town commutes as well as family road trips?? No ev is worth that

Yeah, I have three 70+ lb. dogs (one in the 100+ lb. range). They'd yeet that seat right outta the car trying to get into the back.

it seems like ALL of the vehicles you review are "RICH Family Friendly".

Adult family friendly. :)

It isn't the four spoke that turns me off with the wheels, it's the over all ugly design. The useless retractable door handles on EVs are something I agree with wifey on.🎉

Second row seats that flip forward 'electrically' are a terrible idea. The designers/engineers probably never considered northern winters with bitter windchill, blowing snow, etc. You want to get in or out as quickly as possible. Pop-out or flip-out door handles are equally bad, not just for weather, but in case a stalker or wild animal is chasing you, you don't want to be fumbling to get the door open, or in the case of the EV9 tester, not even open. Vehicles have become too complex, and it seems that they just try to make things as modern/futuristic as possible without thinking about the issues they may cause.

@CapELarry

This is very handy for larger families. A small kid can move the seat forward while mom/dad on the other side secures a car seat. If you don’t want them, don’t get them. But they’re not a bad idea just because you don’t like them.

But if a little pebble hits the bottom of your car and scratches it and a mechanic then says you have to replace the $30,000 battery.. I'm not sure the whole experience is worth the heart attack.. 😊 they really lower their credentials there..

Your daughter is too old, no more booster seat...a little cheeky on the commentary today, something to do with paddles and buttons? Btw, I'll go with six spokes.
