2024 KIA EV9 GT-LINE Tips & Tricks, Hidden Features!

[@mitchellsmith4601]

I’ve watched many EV9 reviews, and I STILL learned new features from your review. Great job.

[@stephallen786]

Great video that I'm using to prep for taking delivery of mine next week. I'm sure it's much more than the salesman will cover. A couple things: At 6:43 after the wiper fluid with the blue cap the next one is not battery fluid, it is engine coolant. And the "whatever this is" is the cover for the brake fluid reservoir. Well done overall. 😘

[@silverchin43]

You are very fortunate, congratulations! Nice!

[@timbenson6468]

You said the front USB C selection only made sense in data/charge mode. If you are using wireless projection and want ensure no interference by another device plugged in you can just select the USB charge mode to ensure no conflicts arise while charging another device.

[@armedfork]

I love your knowledge of the vehicle and the details that no one has mentioned it before. Thanks .

[@KNJensen]

The frunk is a great size for charger, tow rope and snow chains 👍

[@gatesurfer]

If I want to put a surfboard inside, how long of a board can it take? Fold down both rows, move the passenger seat way up, how long is the space in back? Or if you put the nose of the board down the middle? I have been driving a Toyota Matrix for 20 years, and the reason I’ve kept it so long is that I can put an 8 foot board inside, thanks to the ingenious way the front seat folds down. I’ve been looking for a long time for a replacement without resorting to a van.

[@TriumphDoc]

Just a fantastic job at a beautiful review. Thanks so much. Wife and I were looking at Rivian and we’re going with the EV9 for 30K less. Your review helped us in our decision. Very grateful.

[@mikeronnie8363]

best review so far related with all those features...thanks a lot!!

[@markshellard]

To be clear you can charge up to 210kw which means you would need to plug into a 350kw charger. It doesn't actually charge at 350kw. Loved this walk through video!

[@RajShah-b8d]

Great video. Got delivery today and it's a monster

[@jenniferbasiji8654]

Thanks!

[@HotshotTek]

No problem! And thanks so much for the support! ❤️

[@ericborkowski9007]

Wow nice review, we bought a 2023 telluride EX back in October 2023. Back then we heard the EV 9 was coming out but I wish we would have waited.

[@mercury683]

This car looks so futuristic

[@doodmonkey]

The data/power switch is actually pretty ingenious

[@Irpilot]

Lesrned something new with the side mirror toggle position thanks. In regards ro the frunk...those are not grocery bag hooks but the handles you grab to remove the door that gives you access to the cabin air filter.

[@sirgardensalot]

Excellent review I really like it when you sad how many minutes to how many miles you're putting back in the battery

[@michaelh9538]

Do you know about the auto lock on walk away feature? I found out how to enable online, but I can't see the option in my car.

[@jdjd1816]

@@michaelh9538 doesn't have it. You can buy a 3rd party mod to do it.

[@twcz3]

3:36 My Ev6 has the lift gate option too, but it never works when you need it to. You have drop all your stuff and push the button anyway..... works 100% of the times you dont want it to open, like when you're washing the car.

[@WheelieTheCapper]

I have an Ioniq 5 (effectively the same software) .... The boot lid does not open automatically if the car is unlocked. If the car is locked and you approach the rear, then the boot will open (100% of the time)...

[@petertf03]

Great & very useful video. Thanks. I'm due to do a test drive tomorrow & learning about the car before that. Tesla Model X offers 6&7 seat 3 row arrangements btw.

[@WWIIPacificHistory]

I got mine in matte blue and with the matte finish you can’t get the front grill lights. That’s ok as I really like the matte finish.

[@jdjd1816]

In the UK that option is not allowed. I have a 2024 GTL (not matte either) and not available by law.

[@illdill503]

Great video! Thank you!

[@BryanGibbs-nh9uq]

Thanks for reviewing the features even though I don’t have the GT model. I have the Wind model.

[@shelbytaylor5596]

I’m curious to know which features aren’t a part of the Wind. That was the trim I planned to purchase but I love so many of these features and would consider the GT depending on what those features are.

[@dildaar.k1523]

Would be great to know which features are free vs subscription

[@CovenantElite83]

What is the MSRP on this one you tested?

[@HotshotTek]

79k

[@samandkaito4191]

Any idea if it has sentry mode like Tesla? I never see it on any other brands :(

[@HotshotTek]

No, the only brand that has somthing similar is GM cars but it’s only the performance cars with a dash cam function but no while parking recording like tesla. Rivian is the 2nd one that does however have a sensory mode feature to my knowledge however.

[@jmanko]

FYI I'm 6'6" and testing the third row I could sit back there just fine with enough headroom. The second row seats had to be all the way up for my legs to fit though. But I made it there just fine.

[@Gamer-jn3be]

Great video 🇮🇪

[@gorgthesalty]

Compatible with tesla supercharger network?

[@michaelh9538]

Jan 15th, 2025.

[@mitchellsmith4601]

What is “phone projection”?

[@RamosDominicano]

Like wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

[@SteYoung]

Theyre a bit magic these cars arent they? So many little useful settings that get missed by owners.

[@pinaklonkar]

Excellent review. However, I am noticing that the EV9s are not selling much, given that the lower trims are very spartan making GT-Line the only worthwhile trim to buy, and the GT-Line price (given its range and that it is still a Kia) is just absurd ($75k out the door despite the rebates). Once the out the door price hits lower 60s, these will become a compelling purchase vs. R1S and Model X.

[@macoxford7257]

I just got an EV9 2 weeks ago and after rebates and Kias April deal, my out the door was 63 for a GT Line

[@smittery]

I also just got an ev9 gt 2 weeks ago today 😊 out the door was 62k

[@michaelh9538]

Leased a Land, which has almost every feature mentioned in this video, for about $56K. Land doesn't have heads up display or massage seats...but you can get the seats in package upgrade.

[@LACTS-be7pr]

How about if you finish the drywall in your garage?

[@paladiner1]

Lift gate option is not really great as for me

[@ianburr1177]

The Tesla model X can have 5, 6 or 7 seat configuration (6 seat configuration with captains seats).

[@michaelh9538]

But 3rd row is useless...much more room in EV9.

[@tourer65]

DC chargıng ıs awful EV 9 denıes some ınfrastructures and you can not plan long trıps...

[@WegrennerX]

Elaborate plz

[@tourer65]

You can not charge it in all infrastructures on your way as sometimes it accepts sonetimes it denies so a long journey is impossible...

[@agamor]

Do you mean in the USA? Do you own one? Has it happened to you? I am considering one. My family is growing and I need to sell my Audi A6 Avant. I was considering this as a replacement: I need 3 child seats in my new car.
