Criminally underrated channel.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Thanks for watching.

[@kareembaba7498]

5 seconds dead? That’s better than 6.3 AMG level acceleration!

[@stephenhutchinson5434]

How effective has the tape been at preventing bings for driver attention monitoring?

[@RichardJoashTan]

For me, drawing attention is the good point for the Kia EV9 because I prefer drawing attention over blending in anyway.

[@chewieone1064]

I offer one barrel of the finest german beer to the guy who finds a way to get rid of all the beeping permanently. Otherwise, a really good car.

[@Video-co1eu]

When do you test ineos grenadier diesel and petrol?

[@pastorofmuppets8834]

Do the headlights have matrix LEDs?

[@dingus2218]

great video as usual mate! Can you imagine the bill replacing a 100kWh battery pack after a friend dares you to follow their Patrol off-road lol

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Thanks. It wouldn't be cheap! Be interesting to see a modified one though, raised up and on decent tyres etc.

[@RichardJoashTan]

And I will buy a fully loaded Kia EV9 GT Line anyway.

[@TheHayabusa09]

Hate to think what a replacement door mirror assembly would cost. I was quoted $876 (plus labour) for my passenger side mirror for my GWM Haval Jolion! I reckon to replace the unit on this KIA would be north of $5k..

[@RichardJoashTan]

And I will buy a fully loaded Kia EV9 GT Line.

[@Foghorn_Lebhorn]

The main benefit of those digital mirrors is reduced drag coefficient... a bit laughable when you're driving a 2.6 tonne shipping container around

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Yes haha. I wonder what the measurable difference is in Cd.

[@RichardJoashTan]

Not me, because I will buy a fully loaded Kia EV9 GT Line anyway.

[@Francois_B]

Is that feature Australia specific? Didn’t see that in any of the USA/Canada/Europe reviews.

[@leighhaberl981]

2.6 tonnes of mass going around a corner on a slippery road? Vehicle weight is becoming laughable. My 1973 P76 only weighs 1250 kilograms and was once considered a big heavy car.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Yep, pretty crazy. Although, LC300 and Y62 weigh about the same. But they have heavy duty suspension and tyres etc.

[@RichardJoashTan]

the only laughable around here are comments like yours because I will buy a fully loaded Kia EV9 GT Line anyway.

[@craigdavid6519]

where is 'take it to the shops and see if she fits' section?? lol

[@Paradoxical124]

Name another purpose for this. You can’t expect everyone to drive an au falcon to coles when they can afford one of these.

[@craigdavid6519]

@@Paradoxical124 I don't understand

[@RichardJoashTan]

They think that the biggest BAD of all is that it is named World Car of the Year.

[@351tgv]

Great content Bret, stupid vehicle has no purpose for Australian conditions. I drove past an EV charging point around north west Sydney and while there were 8 chargers, 5 were off line and 3 were being used by and there was a line of EV's waiting to to use them. Screw that.

[@RichardJoashTan]

Not me, I will buy a fully loaded Kia EV9 GT Line ANYWAY BECAUSE IT DRAWS MORE ATTENTION

[@davetaylor4741]

Design based on Robocop. No door mirrors. Camera and annoying screens. Dash horrible. Useless tech. Bloody big barge. Eye watering price. All electric. Impractical ugly pig. Couldn't think of any good points.

[@RichardJoashTan]

THE ONLY GOOD POINT IS THAT I WILL BUY A FULLY LOADED KIA EV9 GT LINE BECAUSE ALL YOUR POINTS ABOVE ARE GOOD FOR ME. AND IT IS NAMED WORLD CAR OF THE YEAR 2024.

[@davetaylor4741]

@@RichardJoashTan Good on you. Glad you can afford it. World car of the year because the powers that be want you to embrace an EV future. Has nothing to do with the car. Apart from it being an electric barge. About as environmentally friendly as the Amoco Cadiz. A Trabant is probably more eco. But enjoy. Each to their own.

I think I’ve got more toilet paper 🧻 incase you run out of those ro wipe your eyes 👀 Mr. Cry baby. Just go back and read all the bs you wrote, discrediting what a fellow human like you did, and the brainstorming might take years before the car came into life. Anyways your poor mentality is a dieses and I hope you don’t infect other people in your family with such hate. Calling such car useless tech. I rest my case, and with all said I will go and purchase the car next week. And after I got it I will come back here and give you my social media to see for yourself.
