Kia EV9 Updates

Friday, 01 November 2024 03:58 PM Kia has recalled 14,163 EV9 electric SUVs from model years 2024 and 2025 due to an issue where the driver’s instrument panels can go blank. This recall is part of an effort to address a significant safety concern. I believe this recall highlights the importance of rigorous testing before vehicles hit the market.

Friday, 01 November 2024 11:32 PM In a long-term test, the 2024 Kia EV9 Land with all-wheel drive has shown excellent efficiency, with an overall efficiency of 2.9 miles per kilowatt-hour, slightly better than the EPAs rating. However, issues like the instrument panel going blank have been noted. I think the efficiency is a strong point, but reliability needs to be improved.

Friday, 25 October 2024 06:47 PM The 2024 Kia EV9 has been named the 2024 World Car of the Year, recognizing its unique angular design and impressive performance capabilities. This award underscores Kias commitment to innovation and quality.

Thursday, 05 September 2024 08:41 PM The 2024 Kia EV9 boasts quick charging capabilities, with the ability to recharge the battery from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes at an appropriate fast-charging station. This feature makes road trips much more manageable.

Thursday, 05 September 2024 07:36 PM The EV9 GT-Line model accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, outperforming the 2023 Mercedes EQS SUV and the 2023 Land Rover Range Rover P400 3-Row. Its dynamic performance is also superior in emergency maneuvers.

Friday, 21 June 2024 02:01 PM The 2024 Kia EV9 is praised for its spacious interior, even in the third row, and its smooth and quiet ride. However, some critics note that the base trim is slow and lacks range, and the cabin controls can be distracting.

Friday, 21 June 2024 04:11 PM Kia has announced various pricing options for the 2024 EV9, starting at $54,900 for the Light 4dr SUV and going up to $73,900 for the GT-Line 4dr SUV AWD. The vehicle also comes with a range of standard features.

Saturday, 01 June 2024 09:28 PM The 2024 Kia EV9 is the first electric three-row SUV available in the US market, offering a range of over 300 miles on a full charge and a host of family-friendly features. Its a significant addition to Kias lineup.

Wednesday, 15 May 2024 08:05 PM The EV9s efficiency is highlighted by its ability to average over three miles per kilowatt-hour, which is better than some of its competitors. However, using the car’s heat pump can result in range fluctuations on hot days.

Saturday, 20 April 2024 09:19 AM Kias strategy with the EV9 includes offering a truckload of standard features, making it a competitive option against more expensive three-row electrics from brands like Mercedes, Rivian, and Tesla. I believe this approach will attract many budget-conscious buyers.
