Is the software and infotainment system on the Kia EV9 a deal breaker?
03 January 2025 12:06
People are being too harsh, I think. It may not be as slick as Tesla's system, but it works. Let’s face it, how much time do you spend messing with the infotainment while driving?

Definitely concerning at this price point, the software. If Kia wants to play in the premium EV market, they need to step up their game. Laggy touchscreens are a thing of the past, it's 2025.

In fact, I prefer Kia's system to some overly complicated setups that I've seen in other luxury cars. It's easy and has everything I need. Or maybe I’m just not as picky as some people.
Does the Kia EV9's third row actually work for adults?
03 January 2025 12:06
It is roomy in the third row! I'm 6' tall and can sit back there comfortably for a couple of hours. It’s not luxury seating, but it’s useable for adults.

The third row is fine for short trips, but I wouldn’t want to be sitting back there on a long road trip. Compared to most SUVs, it's more spacious, but the second row is still not as comfortable as the second row.

We use the third row regularly as a family of 6. Our teenagers love sitting back there, and even my adult brother doesn't complain when he sits back there. The space was done very well by Kia.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'adult friendly'. Sure, it's better than most, but adults over 5'10' will still feel cramped. But it's great for kids and teens.

Cargo space is a trade off, but the third row is usable. You don't have much room for luggage when all seats are up. It’s a balancing act, depending on your needs.
Is the Kia EV6 worth the money?
03 January 2025 12:01
It’s been over a year since I first got my EV6 and the build quality has been great. No rattles or squeaks or loose panels. The materials feel premium and everything has been able to tolerate daily use just fine. I think it is definitely worth the price.
Is the Kia EV6 worth the money?
03 January 2025 12:01
I found overall quality good, but there is also inconsistency. Other than that, door panels and dashboard materials are good, some of the lower plastics are on the cheap side. It's not quite on the order of Audi or BMW in terms of fit and finish.

From a Tesla Model 3, I can say that the EV6 build quality is better. The interior feels more solidly put together, the paint quality is excellent and the panel gaps are consistent. It's perceived quality, which is not a step up.

I’ve had a few minor issues with my EV6, nothing major, but enough to make me question the reliability. A couple of times the infotainment system has frozen and I’ve also experience some trouble with the power liftgate. But Kia's been good about fixing things under warranty.
Is the Kia EV6 worth the money?
03 January 2025 12:01
I’ve owned a few premium cars, and I would say the EV6 is almost there, but not quite. It's top notch design and tech, but you can still tell that Kia is new to the premium game. Now, that said, this is incredibly close for a first attempt at this price point.
Is Kia EV6's handling as good as they say it is?
03 January 2025 12:01
Absolutely! From a 2015 Camry, the difference is night and day. The EV6 corners like it’s on rails and the instant torque makes it feel very responsive. It's not good 'for an SUV'... it actually handles well, full stop.
Is Kia EV6's handling as good as they say it is?
03 January 2025 12:01
I don’t think it’s getting overhyped a bit. Yes, it handles well as an electric SUV, but don’t go crazy: it’s not a sports car. The steering is exact but lacks some feedback, but there’s still the weight of the batteries in tight corners.
Is Kia EV6's handling as good as they say it is?
03 January 2025 12:01
I’ve driven both the EV6 and Tesla Model Y and would give the edge to the EV6 in handling. On twisty roads, it feels more planted and more confidence inspiring. It really does make a difference having the low center of gravity.
Is Kia EV6's handling as good as they say it is?
03 January 2025 12:01
When I first read about it though, I was quite skeptical, but after test driving the EV6 I was genuinely impressed. It's sharp handling and the car feels much smaller, much more agile than it looks. It’s no Porsche, but for a family EV, it’s actually surprisingly fun.
Is Kia EV6's handling as good as they say it is?
03 January 2025 12:01
The handling is good, but I feel the ride comfort is too much of a trade off for everyone. The firm suspension also gives it a sporty feel, but that can be a little harsh on rough roads. Enthusiasts will love it, but comfort seekers may not.
Is the Kia EV6’s infotainment system what it should be?
03 January 2025 12:01
I’ll give the infotainment system a thumbs up overall too. The interface is fairly intuitive and the screen is a responsive one. What I especially love about the home screen are the customizable widgets. It's not perfect, but it works, and you won't be too frustrated.
Is the Kia EV6’s infotainment system what it should be?
03 January 2025 12:01
I am a bit disappointed, honestly. The EV6's system feels a step behind what one would expect to come from a Tesla. Sometimes the UI is cluttered, and some things are more taps than they should be. Plus, there are no built in streaming apps.
