- A couple of weeks ago I got my first look and the all new Kia EV9. It is packed full on innovative features and technology that leads the way in the large electric SUV segment. It had edgy looks that I am sure will divide opinion but there is no doubt it is a well thought out car design.

Mental money for a box of batteries - Who will want to buy this in 5 years time.
Still very competitive in the market 👍
Its looks are err challenging . How can any car that big and heavy possibly be green ? For me hell on wheels . I want a well built car with NO tech , a 1988 Saab 9000 , perfect.
Great review Pete, impressive and thought provoking package.
I get the judge dread reference lol. It does look good! Great first look video Sir Pete! The quality of this first look video was very well done Sir Pete!
Hi mate 👋
Great run through Ped. Look forward to your drive review or hopefully long term loaner review.
You and me both!
With looks only a mother could luv.
Extremely professional review Ped. Well done !
Thanks 🙏🏻
I enjoyed watching the Video. A Car I’m looking forward to seeing In the UK soon 😊
Morning buddy, loving the look of this 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Absolutely love the Kia but at those prices I Can not even afford to dream about ownership
Yes, over £65k for Kia? That'll mean one helluva lot in depreciation.
Great car and very well covered, given the very limited time you have at these events. Love how Kia are really helping to drive the EV market. I do love the blind spot cameras coming up on the dash. To be fair Tesla’s do it too, but having no instrument binnacle, the camera view appears on the main screen, which requires a look to the side.
Thanks for watching!
A good walk-around video Ped. Will be interesting to see what it is like on the road but it's going to have to be beyond awesome to justify the price I'm afraid.
Still nearly half the price of a BMW iX 🤔
Interesting and a good look over. It’s great 👍 However it all turned a bit sour when the prices came up. Wonder how many we’ll see on the roads….
Great video mate
Thanks 👍
Cool car, I’ll wait for the V6 Diesel so I can tow my Caravan with it!
😂😂😂
Great video. For the price I would check the Volvo EX90 too (base model not far in price)
Thank you for a Great video. My only issue is the unnecessary music near the end drowning your voice. P.S. Love my EV6 looking forward to seeing the EV9.
It’s my sign off. Been like that for 7.5 years and over 1,100 videos 😜👍
Hi Peter. Had a dealership presentation yesterday, very impressive. (I have a Sorento Hybrid which I love!)
I love all your TH-cam presentations, the best!
Do you have an ev9 presentation on the road?
Regards
John
Not driven it in the road yet. Hope to soon 👍
Can it tow a decent caravan still with a sensible range I wonder?
iv got mine ordered one of the first love it
Cool 😎
Interesting comment about the door mirror/camera issue. Harry's reel on the EQXX revealed that Mercedes have door mirrors on the 1200km range family car because cameras draw unnecessary power from the batteries. A mirror is aerodynamic as you make it.
Just wondering work kind of battery does this car use and who is the manufacture
RWD is a no-go in cold states and the AWD is going to hit $75K plus dealer markups, and only have around 230 miles of range. I guess for that price they're still in a class of their own for now though, with the nicer and better spec Volvo EX90, Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S all costing significantly more.
Great review! On the face of it these seem expensive, but prices of cars are high and I think you get a lot of bank for your buck. After all, other big SUV’s are even more.
I would imagine these will be a big hit on the lease markets for sure. Just got to get one for a proper drive review Ped!
Great value if compared to a BMW iX. Hope to drive one soon 👍
An impressive car but how many people will be able to afford it as a family wagon. Is the range that is quoted likely to fall significantly fully loaded?
I like it, great review mate 👍
Thanks 👍
They had a blindspot camera in the previous gen Civic (at least in the US) but for some reason it was thought to be a poor idea so they got rid.
Liking this a lot. when are they available in the UK market? Defender EV contender for sure - look out
You can order them now 👍
For a mid-size SUV this actually might sell well in Australia. SUVs here (Toyota RAV4 and Kluger/Highlander, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazda CX9 etc etc) are the third most popular type of vehicle after dual cab utes (Ford Ranger, Isuzu DMax, Toyota Hilux and Dodge RAM) and 4x4s like the Landcruiser, Prado, Patrol etc. Sedans and station wagons are becoming less popular, leaving mainly small hatchbacks in 4th position. Even though our fuel is much cheaper than in the UK and outside of coastal main cities EV facilities are few and far between, I think this will do well. What this country needs for EVs is one that can drive off road, tow 3 tonne and cross creeks, all with a 700km + range with the AC on 24/7.
What a wonderful suv electric. ❤
Amazing video.
Thanks!
hi great info on the EV9 thank you could you send me info on that E bike to please thank you
And what is the boot space with both rear rows flattened?
Are they likely to have one on show at Goodwood at the end of next week?
I would think so 👍
Obviously this was filmed before you got the Defender, which has a rear view mirror camera.
It was 👍
Doesn’t your Defender have the ClearSight camera/mirror?
Hendy Kia need to give you one as a long termer when they can Pete 😁
This looks an amazing car and has introduced some real game changers. A serious proposition for an EV car. Awesome
Not sure on the looks yet but it sure sounds an impressive motor
What an amazing car and I totally get the Judge Dredd thing!! Shame it's so expensive but if I could get one it would have to be the range topper with Vehicle to Load, that's quite a concept. I could take my 50 inch telly camping, lol (just kidding).
You know Ped, when you do these EV vlogs you should call yourself 'Electro-Ped', just an idea to swill around.......
Tiff Needell calls me Lecky Peddy 😂
You've got to mention the weight of these things. It's got to be close to 2.5t so 201bhp really isn't going to cut it although the torque is quite good.
Hi Ped
A really pro review, suggest Kia have this on screen in all their showrooms. Styling I think would be an acquired taste, many if the features good and in some cases ahead of the game. The only drawback for anyone considering or who can afford it, is the woeful lack of infrastructure in this country and this crazy headlong rush to Net Zero😢
Thanks Philip 👍
I’m 61, sorry, I don’t think I’ll live long enough to acquire a taste for it ☹️ just don’t see how that front end can ever be considered a design classic…
"woeful lack of infrastructure in this country and this crazy headlong rush to Net Zero" and do not you think that this is in fact all part of the plan to drive people into 10 minute cities where only the ELITE has the means or right to travel....
The Peugeot 806. Had swivel seats and picnic facilities. As did the equivalent Citroen and Fiat. Way back in the 90’s
Great looking motor. Would be very interested to know what it's towing capabilities are for towing a twin axle caravan with a load weight of 2000kg. And what effect it has on its battery range.
I might try another EV towing video 👍
The Nissan Ariya has the the digital rear view mirror which you had to drive
A big beast of a car with interesting tech in it. The new Defender has that rear mirror camera system as I had it in the car I had on test for a day at launch. It took a bit of getting used to but by the end of the day I really liked it. The ability to charge an e bike is a game changer for me. Maybe a replacement for our i-Pace.
Judge dread Ped. The Judge dread taxis were based on Land Rovers. Doesn't your new Defender have clearsight rear camera?
Big vehicle that Kia some good tech
How much does it weigh?
Ioniq and KIA EVs are offering digital options that are unseen in vehicles at luxurious ICEV prices. I like how the creator demonstrated charging eBike using V2L.
I used to recommend Hyundai and Kia to everyone as great value vehicles. No longer the case. Plus, the recalls on their products would be a major concern.
My colleague couldn’t drive her Kona EV nor park it near her house due to the risk of fire….
Which EV hasn’t had recalls or problems? The problem related to the recall only affects about 7% of the vehicles. As far as Kona is concerned, it’s the last generation related to malfunctioning batteries.
Just a point on the wing mirror cameras, they use electricity, is the minor aero benefit getting you the power back you would use in their operation. Why not simple aero proper mirrors which you can get that different perspective from 🤔
That’s what some manufacturers do and as I said, the UK isn’t getting the camera mirrors 👍
Morning mate
You can't deny that Kia/Hyundai are leading the way as far as innovative design and interior technology is concerned, but this comes at a price point that is still out of reach for your average car buyer.
Like to know your thoughts Pete on where our battery technology will be say 10 years from now and how this will effect residual values of EV's on sale just now ?
As for the EV 9... I'll wait to see on in the metal before passing judgment on its looks !
Great video as always.
Still half the price of a top spec BMW iX 🤷♂️
@PetrolPed True but three times (almost) the cost of a hybrid Dacia Jogger.
Kia's biggest cars are in Asia and the US. In these areas, the sportage, the sorento, the carnival are much bigger in size than in Europe. I think they look better.
In olden times the affordable cost of a new family car was estimated to be one third of the family income. Apply that now and to buy the basic Kia EV9 the family would need to earn £195,000/year.
However, times have changed. If we take a young family with two kids with a mortgage, rates, gas, electricity, food, clothes and financing an EV9 then the family income would need to be around £80,000/year. No holidays allowed though.
How tall are you? You look well over 6 feet?
Nice video.
Thanks!
At least when the Lego model comes out it will be very realistic!
😂😂😂
Wel Peter…Kia/Hyundai are some way in front of most manufacturers and EV’s in particular. I think they have got a bit off target with Genesis but that will be short lived. The electronic screen door “mirrors” are a very bad Idea..in effect useless and as you say, the tiny screens are non adjustable and the right hand one is covered completely by my hand holding the steering wheel. I think they are such a flawed design and concept that they should be withdrawn from sale immediately and banned by legislation because they are dangerous..even the Genesis man agreed with me that they are rubbish! That rear view mirror is a different thing though..fine and of course on many JLR cars now….perfect for any van though!! The EV9 will sell fast..comments on the price are understandable but the roads are filled with £80,000+ cars now so people are buying them. Good work again. Richard 😀😀😀😀
Nice review Pete as always 👍🏻
I have to say it looks epic. Usually chunky angular stuff looks awkward & doesn't date well (some Lexus SUVs for example) but this seems right.
Tech, space & no doubt warranty are high, quality looks reasonable .. just the drive to check out now.
Who'd have thought 7-8 years ago that you would be road testing a 71 grand Kia.....!
The world order is changing.
Indeed 😳
@iainbanister people keep going about the price. But big suv's today you pay 70000 and above now Volvo Range Rover Audi for example.
Hi Ped! Took a picture this week of a 911 sitting on a truck on the Antwerp Highway. It appears to be the 'Le Mans' version. I think it's the most beautiful 911 I have ever seen. What do you think of it?
It's all good
Kia have some cracking cars in the market at the moment and this certainly looks like another string to it’s bow, I love the space, the way they are going there own route with either 6 or 7 seats perfomance of 4wd motor choice and all the tech, looks wise it’s a bit marmite and possibly the colour may make all the difference, but sadly priced out the market for Joe Public and am not sure if those that could afford to buy it would want the Kia badge?
Last sentence sums it up for me.
Would sooner have a Kia badge than a Range Rover badge.
@stevenorbury464 am with you and I drive a Skoda and am on my 9th one, but there are still loads of people out in the big bad world that would rather buy a badge than buy a car that actually fits there requirements!
Wonderful ❤. E.V. We’re was the studio .
Outskirts of London 👍
I am of a certain age Pete and Judge Dread was immediately what came to mind.
Glad it’s not just me 😂
Great review. We just need your drive review on this new Kia bus to really understand how good it is.
Coming soon!
Nice car 👌👌
It sure is!
Kia showing the other legacy makers what can be done. Personally it's not my taste in design but for some it will be.
Your next daily! 😊
You never know 🤔😜
What a machine
That must be a serious contender to the Defender , be interesting to see what its off-road capabilities are, love the looks , mighty impressive 😊
Kia have done it again with a great innovative car , watch other manufacturers follow these ideas. But all comes at a rather large price.
Good point!
Land Rover has the same rear view mirror :)
I know it's not related to the car - but is that your ebike and if so, how do you like it?!
Why not continue with the PASSIVE blind spot warning system……….the light in the mirror or whatever substitutes for a mirror ?. Having to turn the indicators on to know is just going backwards.
It does both
First!! Good afternoon all! Hope everyone is doing well and are having a lovely week so far. Will save this video for later.
You're the best!
@@PetrolPed Very kind. 👍🏻
the Kia EV9 as market leader, you say . . . don't think so mate, although it'll sell well in significant volumes . . .
Good review,, rather too large for a single person like myself😅
Fair enough!
Can't believe the price! The using an EV to store electricity is an interesting concept. As with all these clever ideas, it will ultimately lead to electricity prices going up during off-peak if everyone charges their car to power the house during the day! If this pricing persists though we have a major problem as £70k+ for a Kia, who's market is normally well below that level, just isn't affordable and is going to price people out of EV's. I think we will see another two generations of car battery tech before 2035 which is going to make the residuals on the current over-priced offerings extremely poor. Rent if it makes sense financially for the lease period, but buy at your peril I think.
Still much cheaper than much of the competition. You get a lot of bang for your buck 👍
Tesla had car wash mode about 3 years ago - good idea and glad to see other companies following suit
Great car! but wired AA in 70k car in the middle of 2023?!
Wow that’s one really lovely mean looking car. Love the Matt finish like to see it in Matt Black with Black detailing and privacy glass it really would look something out of a SiFi movie. Look forward to when you get one to drive. It’s much better looking than the ugly Ford Explorer.
With aero efficiency and lightness of materials the right way to go forward for electric cars the SUV trend will run out of steam in a few years time. Off road ability is irrelevant as most of these vehicles of this type never go near a dirt track.
I'll be honest, this is the first, and only EV I've seen that makes me think, "I quite like that." Obviously I'd rather this feeling would go away as quickly as possible, and please don't tell anyone I said that! After all, how can I maintain my prejudiced opinion of EVs if I start getting seduced by cars like this!🙄😉😂
Interesting car but…How can it be a market leader when they lose money on every ev car sold? Your title is misleading at best
Why...it's bigger in the THIRD row than my dear ol' Dad's Anglia 100E, lol! It looks like we're gonna get an enthusiast drive of this SUV from you in the near future. Some of the TH-camrs in the USA have tested that electronic rearview mirror in various GM cars here, and SOME say that their eyes shift focus to read that screen whereas they don't when using it as a garden-variety, reflective-surface mirror. A strange little request from me, then, if you please, sir: I hope you'll give your opinion on this experience. I have a mirror on both ends of my bike's handlebars AND a tiny one on my specs whilst riding. I can't dodge coffins without my mirrors, so I've turned myself into a mirror boffin. Aloha and take care!🤙
👍
beautiful car and love the look and tech but eye watering price, id never be able to afford that as with most electric cars. Maybe if i win the lottery id get one. i think these are the only cars these days that would pull me away from ford.
Looks great but with all new electric cars they are too expensive for the average family.
You said the “ get out of my way look” that is really too much - that is exactly the way people will intimidate with this monster truck.
There are many things wrong with this insane push to an all eletrctric future, but for me, this car sums up everywhere it's gone completely off the rails. The looks are subjective (it's ugly), but the size, weight, cost and a ridiculous 100kWh battery just make you ask the question - is there anything really eco at all about a car like this?
Err...yes, it doesn't burn petrol or diesel with all that entails in terms of toxic emissions. Also, electricity can and is being increasingly produced by renewable sources. Last year I did all my driving of 19,500 km on the electricity from my solar panels. The anti-EV rhetoric is getting ridiculous and the petrol heads never seem to consider where their fuel comes from. It takes huge amounts of energy to pump crude oil out of the ground, ship it, refine it and ship it again to the petrol station....not to mention the spills and leaks that cause endless amounts of environmental damage along the way. I can drive my EV 25 miles on the electricity it takes to refine a gallon of petrol, and that's only one stage in the wasteful, toxic process of the oil industry.
How much!😮
I know right. Great value when compared to a BMW iX 👍
I never broke the law, I AM THE LAW!
😂😂😂
How much!? No way...
If it comes to Oz it will cost a 💰💰💰💰
It's certainly a bold looking vehicle and the interiour does look accomodating. It's just the price of some of these EV's that's keeping me staying the fosil fuels for the time being...
Love the look of this and it has many very clever ideas….. but! ….. what it is missing is a V8/V6 engine!! How is a 6/7 seat massive SUV going to save the planet? Absolute nonsense! Also out in the real world very few people with a young family are going to be able to afford £70k plus purchase price ….. we really are being lead up the wrong road here sorry 😣
But it's 64 to 78k!! That is insane money for a Kia people carrier😳
Well the other option is spending well over £100k for a Rover Rover, Volvo EX90, Tesla Model X.
See the value in this now
You know what's going to happen once they've pushed us all into EVs don't you? These extras, things like climate control and so on, are going to be something you have to pay a monthly subscription for rather than a fixed feature of the car. I've already heard of an EV owner that had his keyless entry deleted because it shouldn't have been there in the first place because it hadn't been paid for.
As if that's not bad enough, I can see problems further down the line when somebody else buys the car and wants to activate the feature but finds it's all clogged up because it hasn't been used for 3 years.
The inside is okay.
The outside turned it off for me. Looks like something a kid made with lego bricks.
Unless electric cars come at sensible prices it just isn't going to happen. 60 k for a car (which will be worth 30 k after two years) is ridiculous. These reviewers talk about 50/60/70 k cars like it's perfectly normal and we will just choose which one we will have. Crazy..
All cars cost more in 2023 - a base poverty spec, under powered Ford Focus is £25k now 😬
still only got silly range for business users....
