Too bad it’s a Kia. The first 20k miles will be sublime, then you start hearing the creaks and feeling the materials in the cabin lose their sheen. The recharge in this video uses a tiny 14.9kW battery that will not last you 6 hard pulls and drags, not sure why they didn’t call out what the charge on that battery was at all, they might have raced it on 0m which would mean it would draw from engine power to charge the battery while dragging. These vehicles are only $10k apart, not sure if there’s much of a value proposition for the Kia either since the xc90 is probably the only Volvo that holds any value.

Actually, the Ioniq 5N has an advantage in horsepower and torque, so in the end, it would all depend on which car gets all its power down the most efficiently!
The XC90 recharge has the super-turbocharged engine, paired with electric motor. That engine is rated at 295 HP and 310 ft lb torque in the non-hybrid version, pretty good power. Of course, if you want more performance, there is a Polestar tune that can be added for more output. Pretty good performance from these vehicles.
Such an amazing race. Hybrids, Plug In Hybrids and Electrics are becoming better and faster everyday. The Range Rover Velar had no chance but a lot of fun.
The SPA Volvos are really nice cars, and all of the 60/90 are just beautifully designed inside and out. Tons of SPA XC90s coming off lease at the moment, easy to snag a very well optioned one for ~$30k CAD with plenty of life left. They have a few weird issues, but staying away from the 2016MY helps a lot. I'm torn on the T8s - I think all the added complexity & battery won't age well, plus the first few "non extended range" ones had significantly less range/power. The setup is also a bit of an afterthought for the platform, removing the driveshaft for a battery pack, and differential for the E-motor. Supposedly they two independent setups are tuned well to work together, but the performance figures don't align with the power figures so there's either some funny math or synchronization impact going on. Not an issue for the XC90, but for the V60 version, I wish it were a little more sporty.
Billions went into the development of that XC90. Billions. The issue is that Executives at Volvo refused to use their superb dead reliable 5 cylinder technology. They opted for a ground up 4 cylinder to transition the company into full electric. Huge mistake. But, those little 4 cylinders are beasts. Lots of low end torque with a solid curve.
And why not have a third person call the race start instead of trying to call a race and drive. Plus there is a delay. Let a third party call the race so both get the delayed start at the same time.
Hello I really want to see a Toyota rav4 vs Honda crv I never seen it before and I looked all over TH-cam so it would really make my day if you race them
So... what was the point of this video? All cars are different, one is electric, one is hybrid but discharged... tires are different.. all season vs winter tires.... "keep that in mind"... what should I keep in mind? Will it perform better? Worse? better on EV? worse on EV? better than winter on EV? Worse than allseason on ICE vehicle? Very very informative video😕 But.. at least you confirmed to all that Volvo is all time a very good and very balanced SUV. Good job!
Kia EV9 seats are an eyesore though. I think that would prevent me from buying one. Everything else is great but having to look at those minivans seats every time I get in the car is a no.
Solid? Read consumer reports on reliable car brands for 2024, Kia sits at #7 while Volvo at #23 and Land Rover at the bottom of the list at #33 just ahead of Jeep #34.
Then try to drive a v8 Lexus LX or GX. SUV that is actually so "solid" that can you keep for decades. New Volvo and new RR are for rich dude who lease the SUV for 1 year and move on to other new models. So they don't need to be solid. They juse need to be fancy😅
That EV9 GT Line has plenty of real-world range (approx 300 miles) and charges very quickly. Unless you're going on a cannonball style race across the country, the EV 9 is the superior choice. It's roomier, faster, less expensive to power, has lower maintenance costs, and will almost definitely turn out to be much more reliable.
Ur channel chief is growing u will end up like cawow. Soon will millions on vierws and subscribers and wow it'not boring becouse new races every week but I think u must aslo do stupid things to increase ur number of views like damaging some cars to check it reliability.crash them ,check how strong the transmission are by driving reckless
Kia trying to sell that econobox at $80,000 for what looks to be a &20,000 minivan😂 nobody will spend that kind of money from something of that variety..
@@krclever22 haha.. Kia is in the same league as all the other Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, Hyundais, Subarus, and Mitsubishis. Ain’t nothing nice imo. I’d rather live somewhere cheap than drive a basic vehicle
Honestly, looking at the interiors, design and materials, the Velar looks cheap as hell. It doesn't look like it should be in the same category as the EV9, not to mention that thing has 3 rows, more features and better performance despite being heavier. The Velar is the econobox with a luxury car badge and price, not the Kia.
Maybe they got the version with more range. This means it will not be a fast accelerating vehicle as it's main goal is to conserve battery power for range.
I test drove the ev9 last week(my coworker bought one) and I was surprised for a kia product.The big problem with it is that its slow as fuck,it clearly lacks power for the weight.
This video contradicts that . 0-60 in 4.5 seconds is not "slow as fuck." Perhaps your coworker had the under powered entry level RWD-only model. The GT-Line is quick and effortless getting there.
Well done Kia

Yeah, I do wonder how a drag race against EV6 GT and Ioniq 5 N would go!
Not sure about ioniq n but ev6 GT would obliterate it! Ev6 GT’s 0-60 is in 3.3-3.4 1/4 mile is 11.8. No chance!

Hi
I really enjoy these but most of the race footage is of the driver in a parka. Id like to see the race from outside the car if possible..
Volvo, for Life! Love my XC60! I couldn't ever go back...everything else feels like a tin can.
Now do it again with the Volvo EX90 Twin Motor Performance😎
And the EV9 GT instead of the GT Line?

how about Indian Land Rover？

Well not really compared to it's competitors, The base engine X7 (the 40i) does 0-60 in around the same time as the top trip T8 Recharge XC90

I think comparing the EV9 to the Velar is like comparing apples to tomatoes.
So it’s a new harvested tomatoes comparing to a rotten apples?…so i prefer a tomatoes anyway!…😅😅😅
If you add polestar optimisation the shifts are much better. The Volvo would do even better

Did the Volvo have battery charge? If it’s a zero you aren’t going to get the added power, only the awd system.
Yes you can get full power with battery zero - read T8 recharge system breakdown
@@SamCarLegion source?
You need battery on the T8 if you're supposed to use the electric motor and the gasoline engines (455hp in total).

It should. It's a smaller, lighter vehicle.

Lol, calling go from a digital 2 way when we are talking split seconds of difference is so silly.
This is not full Volvo xc90 the full comes with 455hp
This is the full 100%

Why test vehicles if you sing have them all in peek condition. This is silly.

Their both nothing but overpriced junk. Those are two brands I will never touch with a ten foot pole.
@@ZACH_95_ lol, they aren't overpriced what do you think is better in that price level
