Ordered mine for March delivery, getting rid of my hybrid Vogue. 6 seat option, more spacious for my 3 kids so they aren't on top of each other. Test drove it and found it far less 'boaty' than the Range. Totally agree about the climate screen being in an awkward place. Will also miss my fridge in the centre console (think this is an option in the EU 2nd row models). Am impressed by all of the add ons especially the Heads Up option which was clearer than my current car. Will pimp it up and have it going straight in to have it PPF'd and the wheels changed. Best review video I've watched. Thanks.

[@luisPcordeiro]

Got mine in April 2024. 26000 Km now. I love it!

[@CarChatTV]

That’s Awsome. Thanks for leaving us a comment and sharing your experience with it 🤗

[@olligaminglounge]

I am strongly considering this model, still little bit apprehensive for long journeys (in US) and charging points but I am really tempted, now trying to get the dealer to get to the right numbers 🙂

[@Fa-uk5fb]

Just taking delivery of mine next week. Ev9 get line s in shadow grey. Thanks for the review. Gives me some reassurance.

[@derekpbyrne]

If the price tag is too much I can highly recommend the Kia Sorento - currently have the Phev model 2 yrs now and terrific car to drive ... plus less time spent on fuel reduced by 70% ... this is our 4th time to purchase this model and now looking at ev9 for next upgrade

[@CarChatTV]

Hey Del, I totally agree with you. We had the Sorento for a loan and loved it. There is a review on our channel on it. Thanks for sharing and leaving us a comment much appreciated 🤗

[@stockey]

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS! HOW GOOD IT IS.

[@CarChatTV]

Exactly! Thanks for the comment 🤗

[@erinlynskey4489]

Your video was very informative. Thank you. Is this color pebble grey?

[@CarChatTV]

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the video🤗 I believe the colour is called shadow grey here in the Uk. We get these colours: Aurora red standard. Three premium finishes £725 midnight black, white pearl, lithium silver! Shadow grey, pacific blue gloss. Also But also pacific matte blue for the GT LINE S. hope that helps 🤗

Woohoo another Tompkins ,I am here is the USA and state of Ohio! Great review, I have a 2021 Telluride and luv it, but I am really excited by the EV 9 Land version in my NE Ohio and sometimes snowy roads. Regards, Chris Tompkins

[@CarChatTV]

Yesssss! Love meeting another Tompkins! Thanks for stopping by and chatting to us. I’ve heard great things of the telluride we don’t get it here in the Uk we get the Sorento. Which is also decent. Appreciate the comment Chris 🤗

[@ak5018]

Amazing review as always. Very insightful. I love it!!

[@CarChatTV]

Awsome thank you so much🤗 thanks for the comment 👍🏽

[@GamingBelgian]

Great overview! Really like the look of the ev9

[@CarChatTV]

Thanks for the comment and kind words. Appreciate you chatting with us. It looks great! I loved the look 🤗

[@mr.g1123]

Nothing beats it. In regards of style, tech and price. Like you say. All the other competitors are almost 2x the money. I would take this one just because it has hell of a presence. Not for the 7 seater, but just for the looks and tech. I would leave the last row just folded down. Hell a lot of space to go on short trips. I just love the fact that all the tech is available. Yeah it’s a lot of money, but still a bargain comparing oranges and oranges.

[@MrsDukey]

Looks very much like my EV9 6 seater on order in UK due in 23 January.. Great video. There is an option to have climate control on one of the larger screens. ( I think).

[@CarChatTV]

Oh Awsome you got the 6 seater version. Those seats are fancy, I could definitely see my self creating a social space in the back out on an adventure. Thanks for the kind words. Thanks for chatting and sharing with us 🤗

[@janos150]

I've seen a few comments about how its boxy shape is why it has "terrible range". It's shape does not hurt its range. It has a drag coefficient is .28. That's good for a car, ICE SUV's are typically .35 - .45 and ones of this size would be on the higher side. It's weight is what drops it's range. That said, I'm planning to buy one once they are in stock (no rush so not ordering one). It's range is more than my Stinger and acceleration is actually slightly better. ... And it's an SUV!! That seems pretty good to me! @carchattv not sure if you missed it, but the EV9 does have physical temp control buttons. To me that solves the quick temp change while driving problem with the small screen location.

[@CarChatTV]

Hey Janos, love this comment. Thanks so much for stopping buy and sharing your thoughts. Totally agree with what you are saying. I was really impressed with how smooth the car drove considering it’s weight. It looks great too. I did notice the temp controls, I started to use them instead of the digi dash and it was much easier with the click up and down buttons. They actually can be missed as they blend into the dashboard well. I’ve got another video coming out about things I love and hate about this car soon. So that might be interesting to you. Thanks so much for chatting to us. 🤗

[@martindalewindows4801]

Looks nice 👌🏼 surprised at the price though thought Kia was a more affordable brand also think the wheels could be improved style wise

[@CarChatTV]

Yeah it looks futuristic doesn’t it! Even at £65k it still seems a lot of money yes. But it’s going to be hard to beat for any other 7 seater full electric vehicles to have the same spec as this car and compete with that price. The Volvo ex90 7 seater starts from £95k which is nuts! Thanks for the comment and sharing your thoughts with us much appreciated 🤗

[@zdzislawmeglicki2262]

What would I rather have with £60k in hand? I'd begin with Kia Telluride. Its MSRP starts @ $35,990. Fully optioned SX Xpro will cost you $50,300.

[@CarChatTV]

Great point. Thanks for sharing and leaving us a comment. I hear the Telluride is great in the USA, we don’t have that option in the UK, but a fully specced Sorento would be a good challenger too. Thanks for chatting with us 🤗

[@BrandoDrum]

for my family, we spend $400+ on fuel per MONTH for our family hauler. Going electric will save us over $300 bucks a month in 'fuel' if not more if we're strictkly charging at home. That goes a long way in justifying the extra cost of an EV.

Leather seats are sustainable. People are going to eat beef and the leather is a by-product and its respectful to use all the parts of an animal if you are going to kill it and use all the parts of the cow including the hide. Kia is just being cheap by putting vinyl seats in their cars.

[@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726]

No, leather seats are not sustainable at all because any signal of demand for animal products is wrong and unsustainable.

The EQB is just bad. It's a ICE car with a battery stuck to it. The V9 is built on an EV platform. There's no competition for the EV9 right now, it's the best in it's class right now. I don't own one yet, but intend to get one soon. The only problem people, including me, have is that it's a Kia. Seriously, I'm going from a Mercedes to a Kia now... Unfortunately the proper EVs from Mercedes are just to expensive for me. And Tesla is just not worth it if you ask me. I like the software, but that's about it. And I hate their pricing yoyoing.

2.6 ton. Imagine t boning a family in a Fiesta. We had 2 cases recently with ioniq 5 in CLOWNADA. batteries despite being practically undamged due to under carriage impact were both deemed irreparable. Replacement battery was 60 000 cad installed, more than the car new, so in both cases car was scraped. Yay green revolution.

[@CarChatTV]

Yeah it’s scary to think what it could do to another car with all of its weight. That’s crazy the batteries were that much money and irreparable! Appreciate you chatting and sharing with us 🤗

Does the car qualify for us govt tax credit?

Yes from reading articles online this should qualify for the US tax credit 👍🏽

no. not produced in the us and battery materials are not either.

[@steevthetech]

No, not until it is built in Georgia next year. Current USA EV9s are from Korea and do not qualify
