The massive Kia EV9 gets the Flaviana treatment
Ғылым және технология
The mood in the car is as bad as the weather. After a weekend living with it, do Flaviana and Aurelia warm to the enormous six-seat Kia EV9 GT-Line S? And what do the chickens think?
Stay tuned for Andrew's full review coming soon.

@@JohnCap523 yep, if you have a calm demeanor then a Italian woman will drive you crazy. Lived in Florence and Naples for a few months and was relation with a local. Let's say I ended up breaking with her. Simply couldn't handle..let's say emotions She followed me all the way to Finland though but nope..not having all of that again 🤣
Thanks for all the pearls of wisdom. It is always good to watch a slightly bickering but loving family airing their opinions and getting side tracked in their conversation.
I love how Flaviana managed to somehow do a review of Italian people inside this car review.
😀😀 helps to diffuse the tension when the kid's in a different postcode in the back

Car makers need to get Flaviana involved at the design stage, brutal honesty at all times. I agree that the EV9 is too big for the UK, it is too long for a standard parking space. On the other hand, other vast SUVs are also too big and they are pumping out exhaust fumes, so if you need a giant car, get an EV9

The look on your face when you saw that chicken was priceless 😂
When honesty is funny, you couldn't write the script, I spend 1/2 an hour chuckling then realise Ive had a car reviewed.......
The banter between them is better than the review 😂😂😂
It's funny seeing the family politics from the perspective of a parent. These moments of arguments and bickering seem stressful at the time but looking back, they are actually hilarious comedy gold. My Italian grandparents used to argue *constantly*, so much that as a child I thought they hated each other. As an adult I realised it was just normal married life and they loved each other dearly. Very sweet.

fun and funny (EV?) episode!...listened and watched to the very end with a smile !
Superb! Apropos of nothing I had just got in from root canal work when I watched this video. What a tonic - it had everything from humour, back seat driving and a few Waitrose references. On Andrew's driving fast on country roads when being followed I do something similar in my Honda Jazz Hybrid - I see it as challenging stereotypes.
This made my chuckle... a lot! Great work, as usual😆

Great review and plenty of laughs too. This is so true to life. You could have a sideline writing comedy scripts! Keep the reviews coming!
Oh God you are all hilarious. The only car review where a reviewer wants to bring a chicken along! I can’t get enough of this.
you should do these videos live :)
Your family is so funny. I love your car review, different from the popular one but in a "family" way🤣
great entertainment just love the banter and how down to earth you all are i always watch till the end...no pun intended! how about getting a Maxus 9 for review
So much more than a car review, comedy gold, thank you.
This channel is slowly becoming to be not about EVs 😄. But please don't change anything.

Wonderful review and charming family! Really impressed with the EV9. While it's a bit big, a slightly version would be ideal for our family (EV7 or EV5?) Keep up the wonderful work and hope to see more Kia / Hyundai / Genesis EV reviews in the future..
I’m ringing the bbc to get you and your family a series …. Brilliant analysis of the car and the family are so funny . Looking forward to the next family video .
Only just started watching but with Flaviana on the channel you know this is going to be a brilliant video and Andrew will be praying.. 🙏🏻 😂😀
Daughters said the same thing when we tried it in the Kia showroom - 'we want this car' - and I think my response was about the same! :) (as well as some other reasons I gave)
Flaviana, nobody passes the man ok? Enjoy the excitement!! When the family is grumpy, I always set the first stop as a pastry shop... that fixes everything right away. I usually get cheers from my 2 daughters. The EV5 would be a much better option even for us over here in Toronto. A better size.

Best Video Ever!
Love this review,funny and informative.always think she’s on the brink of saying f*** off you do the review!
I love this!
Andrew, I love your reviews, they are unique. No one else I know involves the family as you do and to be honest, I believe you've got it right. Involving the family is really important even if the kid is fed up with daddy being about electric cars all the time and wants to put the chicken in to have some fun 😀. But we did get her take on the car and I've never heard her as positive, so Kia must be doing something right. The car is not only expensive to buy, it is quite an energy hog as well. What you did, buying the used e-Niro at the price you were able to, surely is the most sensible choice. You're a smart guy. Keep it up! And my regards to Flaviana and Aurelia for their amazing performance on this video.

Lovely blue paint :) The license plate color for EV is Blue in Korea :)
Always entertaining! Always feel like I get a cultural education when Flaviana does a review😄.
Flaviana is brilliant 🤩
Love the wife😂😂😂😂😊😊😊
I fear for your sanity Andrew, she'll get you in the end.... great entertaining video. Chickens made me smile for some reason. I see the apprehension in your eyes when Mrs EV speaks, or is it pure fear ? 😂
Flaviana cracks me up! Alora. She’s so funny 😂
Entertaining as always. Love the chickens, hopefully you keep them in some pecking order. I whole heartily agree with you it's nicely appointed but a behemoth of a car. Have no idea where one could parallel park it in a densely urban area let alone drive though the narrow streets where I live across the pond. Its also has enormous appetite for electrons.

Great video! Still the best thing when you have the views of a full family (and the chickens). All those family dynamics just add to the charm. 🙂 I can't comprehend spending that kind of money on the car, but I can't comprehend spending that kind of money on any car! But that stuff's all relative, of course. It's not in my income bracket, but it's clearly in someone's income bracket, and, as you rightly point out, that's nothing to do with it being an EV - people spend much more on ICE cars too.

Yup... a proper Italian review. Just like how Italians like to drive in Italy :)
Why do these video remind of faulty towers sitcom. 😂
Great video, as always, but I need to make a "fan" request. We sold our e-Niro just as you were buying yours, since I got bored with it - and we used the hugely stupid depreciation to buy a top-spec Jag i-pace - I don't think you've ever reviewed one have you, and I would love to see both of your reactions to one. Not that I'd take buying advice from you again any way !! 😀

The I-Pace used to be my dream car (before the IONIQ 5 came out anyway). I've still yet to drive one. Hopefully I can get my hands on one to test some time.
Was looking forward to watching it after seeing your tweet about it Andrew. Flaviana didn't disappoint I learned something about Italian people that I didn't know at all as I always thought Italy was an amazing country but had not idea as a society it functioned. There is currently a family of 4 towing a holiday caravan around Australia with an EV9 they are on Facebook not sure their page name though and getting about 300km or so per charge so close to 200miles. There are a few here where I live in Tasmania but the Australian model doesn't get the seats that flip around, health and safety lunacy gone mad as a certain Mr. Clarkson would say and I would agree. But there are huge RAM trucks/utes here and the EXACT thing that Flaviana said at the end are the men buying them, that and their fragile ego's basically there to intimidate every other road user and know when they hit them well the other party won't need an ambulance but a hearse, total lunacy.

Entertaining 👍 it’d be interesting to see how this compares with the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe.
Gotta say, I tuned in for the EVs, but I think the real star is the family dynamics.
I just sold my Skoda Kodiaq which was a seven seater which was enormous and way too big for my needs. I bought it on a whim instead of getting a more sensible Octavia. It would however have been brilliant when my two sons were still at home for going on long drives around Europe. This does look like a really good option for people with big families though.
Never change….! I’m sure you’re going to be up for some award competing with Pater Kay’s Car Share series….😂 Anything from Hyundai Kia is excellent….! That vehicle has the lot…. Went to a VIP launch at my dealership… 😊

Flaviana at her most amusing...! can echo your views on the size of cars. My everyday runabout is a 2018 DS3 3 door which at under four metres in length is easy to park manoeuvre etc - although Im thinking of changing to the about to be released MG3 HYBRID which at over 4.1 metres might be a little trickier. The real fun is with my other car, which like you say I bought for luxury, is a Genesis Electrified G80 which at slightly over fives metres (so somewhere between E Class and S Class Mercedes) is used infrequently, which although being the best large luxury car I've owned, when driven around town is like riving an ocean liner, and as for parking at times it feels like berthing said ocean liner. BTW also as you say about Range Rover drivers it's only my wife and I !!!
