2024 Kia EV9 | Snow Drive Test | OEM Tires

[@benton1701]

Wish you had tried normal with 4 wheel lock engaged to compare to snow mode. I just got the EV9 GT line in the same color. I live in Mississippi so we don’t get snow often. When we do I will have to try it or take a trip up to Tennessee mountains to see how it works. Maybe you can compare it this coming winter. All in all great videos on your EV9. As with you, limited storage like in the center console is a negative with them putting in the back seat storage pullout. I would rather liked them to put in a short console for 2nd row and give me, the driver more console storage. I like to put my wallet and 9mm in the center storage in my Lincoln Aviator, so I miss that feature in my EV9. Will have to look at options for storage. I do love the cup holder design, very versatile. And actually, I have had it for one night so really no miles except for coming home from the dealership. But today, going to take it out for some driving. Anyway, love your videos. And we did look at the Rivian, Lirique, Model 3, Model Y, Ioniq 5 & 6. Didn’t get to try out the Genesis, BMW Ix, or Mercedess EQS, or Etron’s. I do like the one pedal in the EV9. Didn’t realize it disengages if you shift gears. Will check that out today. I also got a great deal on the price. I wanted something comparable in size to our Aviator, although it’s just me and the wife, now. But when we travel we like the extra room and when we are near our three kids we can transport them around with us with plenty of room. The EV9 will provide that like the Aviator does. I do tow with the Aviator so I might investigate in a hitch for hitch. Have you towed with it and if so how much did the range suffer?

Thanks Sammy! Great video. I live at 9100 ft in CO mountains. Snow mode works great and I use AWD mode when going over Vail Pass. Definitely can feel slippage on slick roads and ice spots. Did you feel that during your test in snow?

Did you use snow tyres or summer tyres
