Kia and Hyundai are gonna take over if they continue like this.

@krane15 Ай бұрын

That would be true except for two words: range anxiety. An EX must hit a true 300 miles before I'd even validate it, and close to 400 before I'd buy it.

@ph00ny1 Ай бұрын

Except where this might land in terms of price will be competing with rivian and luccid. They're not taking over anything if they keep pricing themselves out. EV9 is already getting offered with heavy discounts

I don’t see a lot of effort from Honda and Toyota to introduce new EVs like Hyundai and Kia are engaged in lately, and it looks like in a few decades Hyundai will be Toyota and Kia will be Honda.

@falsificationism Ай бұрын

Completely agree. Hyundai and Kia are killing it.

@krane15 Ай бұрын

I don't know about Honda, but Toyota has stated that EVs are not quite ready for prime time. Judging by the pathetic range given here, I would agree.

@trstnhn Ай бұрын

@@krane15 Your range anxiety is irrational. There are plenty of EVs that go 300+ miles now and fast charging gives you 80% in about 20 minutes.

@christophersneed5212 Ай бұрын

Most Gas cars because of how people drive only get 300 miles. So the Range Anxiety is highly illogical.

@jeffs6090 Ай бұрын

@christophersneed5212 And range anxiety isn't technically range anxiety. It's charging anxiety. People don't really trust the charging infrastructure, which is warranted. It is definitely getting better though. However, now that the industry in NA is switching over to NACS, that definitely helps with that charging anxiety since the Tesla SC network is everywhere. Concerning range specifically, battery technology gets better every year, and solid state is basically around the corner. Not long from now, EVs having over 400 miles of range (with weather not effecting it) will be commonplace. Toyota not diving in full steam now will put them way behind. They will absolutely need to be using other company's tech to make their cars.

I'm a parent with 4 children, and currently drive a 2009 Sequoia. Wonder if this EV9 or the newer Ioniq9 would be the best option for my large family. Test drove the Tesla Model X and Ravian 3 row suv but both had small space in the 2nd and 3rd rows. Besides, these two Kia/Hyundai models have very attractive pricing....

@DD-xx8wh Ай бұрын

yes...spend some time and go look at one and test drive if it seems appealing...lots of trim options to choose from

@jeffs6090 Ай бұрын

I don't think you could go wrong with either. They provide way more interior space than the other three rows you mentioned. With any EV right now really, leasing is the best option. With the battery tech advancing as quickly as it is, a 3 year old EV is like a 10-15 year old ICE vehicle. Plus, right now, you get the full $7500 right off the top no matter the price or your income.

The daytime running lights are not amber on the EV9 because amber DRLs are featured on Kia ICE vehicles only. Kia EVs will continue to have white DRLs moving forward.

@huythai1222 Ай бұрын

I’m not sure if this makes any sense in my opinion. The whole point of a vehicle this size is to comfortably transport a sizable group of people efficiently. But a GT model sacrifices ride quality with those large wheels and skinny performance tires, range, and costing far more than the average model while still having compromised driving dynamics (large and heavy). I suppose there are people that would make the trade off, I just wonder how many people are there.

I hope they dont have the issues the 2024 have. These are the issues i have had with the Land version: Headliner recall, display cluster failure recall, climate display light going dim for no reason, wireless charging indicator light no longer lighting up (got an appointment to diagnose and fix next week). Aside from these things the car is wonderful. We're a family of 5 so it works very well for us. They had great lease deals for the 2024 so i hope they will again. I will not be getting the GT line cause it is not practical for my lifestyle. But it is a gorgeous trim!
