Great review, as always. Thank you. I noted that only the driver's seat has massage. I test drove a loaded GV80 and would have bought it on the spot to replace an aging ML350, but it did not have a passenger massage seat option. What the heck? Do the Hyundai/Kia/Genesis engineers and marketing people all hate their spouses? If you have any contacts over there, please let them know that dual front massage seats is a requirement, if massage seats are in the car. That aside, I have been very impressed with theiir products. We had a smaller KIA SUV rental a couple of weeks ago - with 44,000 miles on it - and it was still solid, no rattles, seats were in great condition, steering was tight. That is phenomenal for a car that has been in rental service for that many miles.

Really nice. My next vehicle. 👍👍

Amazing looking vehicle...could definitely see myself in one after the charging networks builds out. Update of EVs I think will really happen once next gen SSB (Solid State Batteries) takes us to the same range as ICE/Hybrid and likely even better range..

Thanks again for the Motormouth team about bringing another great review to NA users like us. By chance I am visiting the International MotorXpo Hong Kong (IMXpo) 2023 this weekend. Traditional brands really needed to step up their game to compete with EV offerings from China.

Merry Christmas Is it powered tilt and telescoping steering wheel? I have never seen this future in any non luxury brands. Me and my partner has different preferences for the steering wheel adjustment and its quiet annoying to manually adjust it every time.

Does it have bullet proof panels? I need that in my everyday commute when I drive my kids to school.

The Kia EV9 has just been released here in Australia. While our north american cousins may treat it as a "mid-size" SUV, to us it's a massive and very heavy car. The infrastructure required to charge it is considerable. Most homes here are limited to around 80-100a feeders coming into them. At 240v that is around 20 kw for a typical 80a feeder on single phase. Given that this has to supply the house as well as extra power for the charger, how long would it take using a typical 30a "fast charging" solution to top up the largest of those batteries? And what is the charging infrastructure like in the US or Canada? First time that I saw one such station, was at a market in Vancouver 3 years ago. The specs, however, ARE impressive, as are the equipment levels. We have a Kia Sorento, an "AWD" 2.2l diesel which is a nice car to drive and on long trips we can get up to 800 km (500 miles for those who still measure stuff in cubits) from it, with economy as low as 6l/100km (yeah yeah, stupid way to measure fuel economy, I know) which competes with many smaller hybrids out there.

It's unfortunate that the memory seat is only available in the latest trim + package (CAN). Do you know if the seat would adjust automatically based on the fingerprint digital profile?

Thank you Andrea and Zack as usual for the amazing review. I am planning to purchase this EV and would like to ask for your comment on these two concerns please. 1. What is the estimate waiting time for this EV9 ? 2. I am planning to tow a boat and its weight is approximately 2000 lbs below the towing capacity of the EV9. The only pitfall I am facing is during the boat launching and retrieving. This is due to the fact that the rear wheels of the EV9 would be submerged approximately 3/4 of its diameter in the water and as a result, the rear motor and/or part of the battery compartment might predictably be under the water as well. Would this cause thermal runaway even if for a short period of time being under water? Thank you for your comment.

I like the look of this one if not the cost as per usual with all these current generation EVs. I am waiting for more updates on the whole battery replacement story as that was enough to make me lean away from EVs all together until there is more clarity on that particular issue/ your mother would just drive her own hybrid! :)

Hey, maybe I missed it but for future EV reviews, could you please tell us how many kW is required per 100km/60 miles and what you achieved? (when possible of course, sometimes you don't have it for long enough). That way we can know how much it will cost us, once we multiply the amount by local per kW price. For example, Tesla model Y needs at least 15 kW of energy for each 100km, where as a larger and heavier EV such us the Hummer EV need over 30 kW for same distance. When not charging at home, the difference can be quite significant. Thanks!

Maybe not a solution for everyone, but it works for us. I still have range anxiety with EVs, so I'm thinking about the V6 hybrid powertrain Stellantis will have maybe next year (?).

There are situations where big batteries are important, in particular driving into and then out of a remote area. I recently took a trip to a destination with no fast chargers or even public level 2 chargers. The nearest en route fast charger was 150 miles away, meaning I would have needed at least 300 miles of real world range, with no margin for error or for driving around at the destination. I had to resort to level 2 chargers along the way, which added hours to the trip. The good news is that there is a closer fast charger under construction that will make the trip much easier next time. But, it's not complete yet, and there are other similar places without infrastructure. Until the infrastructure gets fixed, big batteries will have their place.

It wasn't Kia (and Hyundai) that didn't want wireless, they had a contractual dispute with their navigation provider, TomTom, that prevented them from having it in cars with built-in navigation. Looks like they've switched partners with their latest generation of infotainment, thankfully.

It's a real shame they stuck with smaller battery packs. If it were 120kWh, people that don't have ultra or hyper-fast DC chargers anywhere near them (most of Canada) would have a much easier time justifying the switch to EV. I wish this could be my next vehicle purchase, but I simply won't be able to take this on any trips due to the limited range.

From my point of view, the reason why EV's are not selling as much as it was anticipated is the range of the vehicle itself and unreliable charging stations. In my case, I do interstate road trips and the range of this Kia is very dismal. I do not wish to spend so much time at a charging station. Next is the cost of the vehicle, EV's are just too expensive compared to gasoline-engined vehicles.

Why aren't the rest offering 3rd row yet.? What are they waiting for? Kia will have a hard time keeping this in stock.

I was waiting for Andrea to tell us which trim would be her pick

Beautiful vehicle,but when is there going to be a more affordable EV 1,2,3 or 4 for the Joe average family!

Looks berry nice. Be careful off roading. dont scratch the battery cover. Might cost you $60000!

nah dude.. this one gonna cost 80k for the bigger pack. but truth be told, I wouldn't off road with something like this

Kia dealerships, specifically South Florida, and Del Ray Kia, are marking up these cars by a lot. If you lease it, they are increasing the money factor by .004 or 10% over bank rate. Don't buy from dealers.

"the boulders" fails to mention the ruts and dry washes on the road. Been there, done em.

Anybody notice that in a number of their videos filmed in the USA (e.g. this one Arizona) that the vehicles have province of Ontario license plates. How is that?

These vehicles were shipped in from Canada for the event.

Aha. Thanks.

Subscription for your headlights 😂😂😂

battery replacement cost? 80k? 😅

question for us Canadian fans about the $5000 federal rebate. Is that $5000 off the price of the vehicle if you lease or buy OR is that a $5000 credit towards my taxes in tax season?

You get 5000 off the price after takes at the dealer

For me I see the lucid gravity is much better option

Wondering how much they lose on each EV9.. hope they make lots as the Tesla Model Y needs more competition. I would get an EV9 instead of the Y if they are easy to find

The Genesis models have the fingerprint scanner. Nobody uses it in Canada because it doesnt really do anything but set up a profile for different radio stations. Doesnt change seat positions, etc, doesnt work with a digital key in Canada...it's useless here. :(

I think it is brilliant looking, unlike that new Kona. Worthy of a Luxury badge? … at over $82,000 (top trim)… it is certainly priced like it has one!! Who exactly has over $80 grand!!! … for a Ka, Ka, KIA?!? Certainly not families in my (upper mid level) neighbourhood. Maybe they should have, at the very least, stuck a Genesis badge on it. Thanks for the video.

Sorry… correction, ‘Mid to Upper’ level neighbourhood (not upper mid).
