I’ve never been more interested in an EV for my next vehicle as I am in the EV9. I have another 2 years on my current lease. I will see how these fare. If not the EV9, I am hoping KIA will polish the Telluride even further and I’ll go that route!

[@mauriciomendez1912]

Honestly I would get the Kia9. Its punching above its weight class! I almost feel like EV's are getting a bad rap by the media during this cold winter?! That's a different story!! And EV's sales are trending down. Hopefully this doesn't affect KIA is this is another home run....

[@marktevault57]

What? The media pushes EVs

[@mauriciomendez1912]

@@marktevault57 true, but with the cold front we've had thus far, that's all you see for better or worse! Every channel and their Mother's have made videos regarding that very subject...

Grand Highlander Hybrid Max for now and then EV9 or equivalent in a few years when they can get range up. I sat in the EV9 and love love loved the seats compared to the Grand Highlander. EV9 is a wonderful SUV.

[@andresmattos7541]

Any Kia is upscale if you compare to a toyota interior, toyotas are usually full of cheapness inside.

[@KMM2987]

Keep up the good work!

[@Jordensquad]

I still choose grand highlander the only reason why im not choosing ev9 is for a lot of familys the whole reason they buy 3 rows is for that 7 or 8 seater passenger seat if the ev9 was a 7 seater with captains chairs or 8 passenger with bench i would choose it

[@mclovin6629]

The only reason I would even pick the EV9 over the GHL HM is style and the ability to have 2nd bench row bench seat, I value my seats and capicity when I comes to a big 3 row crossover 💯

The base model in Canada is $70,000 Canadian. The standard interest rate is 6.99% at 72 months. Even with the rebates you are still paying through the nose over $80,000 for a negative equity, depreciating asset. $225 a week for 72 months. Think about it. The top spec one is $303 a week for 72 months at 6.99%. No one has that kind of cash lying around. It’s either put food on the table or keep the lights and roof over your head. Never mind an overpriced paperweight that adds to your hydro bill and costs more on insurance and is a potential fire risk.

[@verynick]

Woah good point! Also, I have never look at the payment as weekly instead of monthly. Is this the new way of looking at that since it seems more affordable (but not really)? I pay $700 on my RAV4 Prime and I question myself everyday lol

[@kevinW826]

@@verynick it’s up to the buyer. Technically it’s suppose to be the faster way of paying the vehicle off, as you can use this method when paying off your mortgage. But for a car? I don’t know. I haven’t done the math it just seems more complicated. IDK. I wouldn’t want to be in the hole this much on a depreciating asset and if the car is totalled in an accident, you still have the loan to pay off even if your insurance gives you something for the wreck.

[@Anuhassss]

Guys can you do a quick battle between this and xc90 I know is seems irrelevant but we are trying to decide which one is the one like can you also compare performance like a little race would be gd only if you can

I'll take the Grand Highlander Max Platinum AWD any day!! My wife and I are proud owners of a 2024 Grand Highlander Max Platinum AWD in Storm Cloud Color. We looked at the EV 9, but top model is too expensive for our taste.

[@kiwan5425]

I'm just so tired of rattling hybrid engine noise and vibration. I'd spend more and get the future-proof EV, personally.

Seeing hope so many EVs failed during the freezing weather so much of the US is having I just can’t see the point of all these EVs yet. The power goes out… You are done! And the comical part of all this is folks turn to gas generators for their homes for power. Reliable and cost effective! I would really like to see Car Confections do some actual real-world tests and reviews on EVs in extreme cold conditions (or over 100-degrees) for a few days and really see how these things do!

[@citizenc2612]

Accord all the way for long term reliability and resale. Honda has proven to be consistent with giving the buyer a measured approach to quality and reliability. Hyundai/ Kia, seems to be going in the right direction. However, the twin companies need about a decade more in the industry for consumers to forgive them for the 90s and early 2000s lack luster reliability. Consumers should appreciate H/K for pushing the median auto market more upscale! Thanks Hyundai/ Kia, rooting for your continued success…..

Ev9 is certainly more luxurious but I would go for the GH.

It’s too expensive overall. Nice SUV though. If they could have brought it in $10k cheaper much better deal. Also does not qualify for federal tax credit until they start making them in the new Georgia plant

[@th003g]

You can get it 10k cheaper, get a cheaper trim. At 15k over a loaded Grand Highlander Hybrid max, that is the price of technology and progress also the GH somehow looks cheap even at the highest trim level.

[@DavidDDope]

kia is not a premium brand and the top trim should be mid 60s tbh

[@naveenthemachine]

This proves just how far in the past you’re stuck in Because Hyundai and kia are a premium brand now. Get with the times or continue to be left behind. Once you realize how much you missed out on you’ll be the one holding the bag

lol so you want all this good ness for 50 something? lol how much are the competition charging? lol

[@FunAtDisney]

@@andresmattos7541 Kia originally stated the price at the top trim would be in the low $60s, so now at nearly $80 this is way over what everyone expected. Comparing it to the Rvian (about $85K with the dual-motor and long range battery) I would take the Rivan that will get closer to 350 mile range - much better. But then again, I am no way at this point buying an EV, especially seeing so many of them fail in the freezing weather a lot of the US is having. Powers goes out…. You are done!

NEW YORK, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) reached a settlement potentially worth $150 million to resolve U.S. class-action litigation tied to recalls of about 3.36 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles whose defective fuel pumps could cause engines to stall. A preliminary settlement was filed on Wednesday night in federal court in Brooklyn. It requires a judge's approval. The settlement covers owners and lessees of dozens of Toyota and Lexus vehicle models manufactured in the 2013 to 2020 model years and equipped with Denso low-pressure fuel pumps. Honda Recalls: Brake and Rearview Camera Defects Honda recently issued recalls for various models due to brake and rearview camera defects. These recalls address potential safety hazards that can result in accidents and injuries. Unexpected Loss of Brake Function: Honda recalled over 124,000 Civic, Passport, and Pilot vehicles, including certain model year 2020-2021 Civic, 2020-2023 Ridgeline, 2021-2023 Passport, 2021-2022 Pilot, and 2020 Acura MDX vehicles. The recall was prompted by concerns that the vehicles could experience an unexpected loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash. Defective Brake Holds: Another recall impacted nearly 400 model year 2023 Civic, Accord, Acura RDX, and Acura Integra vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured with defective brake holds, leading to potential movement while the brake hold is activated. Honda plans to notify impacted vehicle owners by mail, starting from July 24. Rearview Camera Concerns: Honda recalled over 1.1 million Odyssey, Pilot, and Passport vehicles due to defective rearview cameras that may not display properly. This recall applies to model year 2018-2023 Honda Odyssey, 2019-2022 Honda Pilot, and 2019-2023 Honda Passport vehicles. A non-functional rearview camera can compromise the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Class Action Lawsuits against Honda In addition to the recalls, Honda is facing class action lawsuits that allege serious defects in its vehicles' components. Variable Timing Control Actuator Defect: A class action lawsuit filed against Honda claims that the automaker knowingly sold vehicles with defective variable timing control actuators. The alleged defect, affecting model year 2012-2014 CR-Vs, 2012 Accords, and 2012-2015 Crosstours, can lead to catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety hazard. Defective Electric Power Steering Systems: Two separate class action lawsuits were filed against Honda, asserting that model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles were manufactured with defective electric power steering systems. These systems may "stick," requiring an increase in steering effort, leading to overcorrections and potential collisions. Electric Braking System Sticking: Another class action lawsuit argues that Honda sold model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles with electric braking systems that can stick at highway speeds. This alleged defect can cause vehicle owners to overcorrect, increasing the risk of collisions.
