2023 Kia EV9 Review | A genuine seven-seat rEVolution?

Kia lands Australia’s first mainstream seven-seat electric SUV, but it doesn’t come cheap 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
After months of build-up and anticipation, the all-new 2023 Kia EV9 has finally arrived in Australia.
The first seven-seat battery-electric SUV from a mainstream car-maker combines first-rate technology and safety with an EV driving range of about 500km in a family-friendly package, charting new territory not just for Kia but the wider auto industry.
However, with a starting price of more than $100,000 in the traffic, the Kia EV9 asks a pretty penny for the privilege. So does it stack up as a new family chariot? Sam Charlwood drives the new EV9 on Australian roads for the first time to find out.

Sam is clearly the best car reviewer at carsales by far. Carrying the whole review team 😁👍🏼

[@lexnite22]

For the that price, no video recording when driving or options to switch the cameras to act as security cams, like the Tesla's. Come on Kia

[@viliamivaai]

He said get this $97k like it was normal 💀

[@tysonfinn1470]

If theu dropped the price 20% theyd sell way more. The base model isnt even under the lct. Id get one on a novated lease as you get fbt exemption on electrics under 89k

[@electricdiesel1993]

Does this going off road? Though no spare tire force to inflate with tire inflator kit who knows get stranded at the deserted paddocks and submerge into the mud might soak the electrics. Better go to a Volvo omnibus or a v/line diesel train on the cheap.

[@mahjonglivestreaming4535]

no panaromic sunroof as standard??!?!?

[@BL0HARD]

I’m sure that beeping noise could be solved with a pair of side cutters

[@roohbirS]

It’s annoying how every review is the top spec model. How about a review of the base model with no extras?

[@carsales]

You'll find exactly that on our channel. Just search EV9 Air.

[@holysnyper]

criticism for driving too smooth?

[@peterhess6039]

Is it good? - I like the “sitting on the fence” statement
To me it’s an overpriced, overweight piece of junk with no environmental advantage

[@rinbine2713]

Complain your NCAP.
Why are you complain about Hyundai/Kia?
Hyundai/Kia didn't make NCAP's law.
It is your NCAP's problem.

[@MrTzekov]

Wait till one of those mirrors cameras stop working in the next few years
You won’t be able to drive it

[@unknownskyman2156]

Is this April fools?....$100k for an electric tank that has a time bomb underneath it...

[@anthonybugge5220]

You can turn all that off. I have a Genesis GV80

[@Nick-1992-SRB]

You can’t speed without the car harassing you or look away for a second truely disgusting some EV’S look not bad from the outside but they have their very downsides like the biggest one is no loud noises and these safety features 🤮🤮🤮
