Kudos to the guy who has been cleaning the car every few minutes.
Deleting the fingerprints for the 4k photos
True that!
It looks like a cross between the Telluride and the soul. I love my 2019 Kia Sorento.
is it durable?
@@quents Yes no problems at all. I brought it new.
I think it looks like a Soul on steroids! 😂
I fell in love with the looks of it the first time I saw it… I was hoping it would be more affordable than what they’re projecting, $54k is not affordable for the average person though and for something like this the 0-60 isn’t important, to me anyway.
Name an ice segment competitor to this that is currently around the price you say with similar options as this has? 🤔
And I don't think this will be anywhere near 54k to start. I think low 60s and easily into the upper 70s or 80k+top spec awd trims.
Without dealer markups taxes or fees.
Built in the U.S. from late 2024 with U.S. supplied cells from the commerce GA sk plant. Means they'll get the tax credit as a pos rebate though. So that will help some for those interested in buying one from late 2024 anyway.
@@4literv6 I didn’t make up the price… $54k is what he said in the video!
@@S.E.C-R uh watch it again he said they haven't actually released the price but it's expected to start around 56-57k. 👍🏻
And he doesn't say if that's for the absolute base small pack rwd only slow as fk model either. Which for that price it is most likely.
So as I said think kia ev6 trims and then ad 10-15k per trim to arrive at ev9 prices.
My swag is 56k for the absolutely base rwd trim and they won't sell really any due to the low range. This has happened to them with the base ev6 and ioniq 5 already here in the U.S.
61k for the decent range rwd large pack no options at all, 70k to start for awd model's with big 99kwh pack's and nearly 80k fully loaded up.🤔
I agree it’s places the car around $850/m for 6 years. That’s a lot more than most people can pay but I think you also have to look at the total cost over each year. Total elec charging cost vs the rising gas and no oil changes every 5000 miles for the $80-90 that is. I think the slightly higher monthly cost will be a wash for a lot of people
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing this ev crossover here
Doesn't this have swivel seating in the second row?
It does, but only in Korea. I had a chance to talk with some of the Kia designers later, and apparently the US doesn't have regulations that allow for swiveling seats, at least not right now.
Looks good, nice work KIA! More EVs
The sad part is that Highway Drive Pilot 2 is available only in the GT line and they has inferior range than long range RWD model.
I'm glad they improved the interior compared to the concept and prototype models, the rear and 3rd row used to look so bland in the prototype. Usually prototypes are more crazy looking than the production models
An Electric SUV of this size at 55k seems ambitious, but with a lot reward! The question is not how well it will compete against Mercedes or Tesla options, as it will definitely do well. If Kia can hold onto the 55k starting price point for this vehicle, it pits itself against mainstream GAS SUVs with similar price points and amenities - that’s where they can cause the most disruption as long as they keep their marketing strategy on the SUV market..
completely unrelated, but the intro sequence is too distracting to ignore. it's quite a change, and it feels like a step down from the glitchy sequence. it feels very 2004-ish
This has more room and practicality and more affordable compare to luxury SUVs and Rivian R1S
Very interested. Curious about the range and price.
in particular because they already declare that it's the most important Electric SUV of 2023 without knowing the price, the range or what the other brands, in particular the American ones, are going to introduce. Engaget, being an American news dislikes the American auto industry, so maybe it's expected.
How much cheaper is it compared to Rivian R1S?
Probably $20k or so
Nobody knows yet. Imo it'll be very close in price when they ship them later this year. Think ev6 trims and ad at least 10-15k more.
He said "Hyundai ionic 9", what? Does it exist?
No, pretty sure he meant Ioniq 7 (or “Seven concept”).
Yea my bad, I meant the Ioniq 7, which is Hyundai's version of a three row EV SUV.
@@SamRutherfordscr Got it 👌
wait, there's a hyundai ioniq 9?
I think he meant Ioniq 7
@@epickelok first i'm hearing of that too!
That's a bad A** car, slick and nice.
It's actually a three row E-SUV that can go off road which othe Kia and Hyundai's cannot...
Less than 8 inches of clearance. I'm not taking this off a road.
I don't think he knows what the Goldilocks Zone is
Nice Car but once again very pricey for the bulk of people expensive 💸💵 💸
This is significantly cheaper than the competition.
@@JonathanRootDfr, and for a 3 row electric SUV? That's a fucking steal at that price.
So how much is the down payment? 25 thousand down to even have a 500 Monthly payment. When this bubble bursts,so many cars getting repoed!!!!
The range and zero to 60 is disappointing. Looks nice and imo, too many buttons.
i dont think you should compare Kia to luxury cars like MB, Model X, Volvo.
this is more in Model Y level.
and there is no official price yet, its not fair to say this is good value. its estimate and you didnt even test drive it. from the way it looks, its longer and roomier than Model Y,
but as of today 2023/04/08, Model Y starts at USD$50. and its available, with support of Tesla charging network and more sporty.
unless EV9 is 20% cheaper, and absolutely more room than Y, i would not pick it.
What country has been chosen as a dump for the batteries
battery range is always > pointless 0-60
Available 2030 !
Kia Boyz are a-coming!!!
🔥😎🔥
What they haven't told u is that kia will start charging subscriptions for simple features like seat warmers or powered roof. Fight the scams now or it will be industry wide!!!!
Did they solve the theft problem with this ev?
All Huyndai EVs are keyless start and comes with immobilizer afaik so no Kia Boys shenanigans
Oh trust me! These new Kia boyz are like netrunners from cyberpunk!! They will get your kia😈
It's only the ones with turn-key ignitions
All Hyundai/Kia cars produced after Nov. 2021 come with immobilizer built in.
The rim looks like a game pad and should appeal to younger buyers? 1. Younger buyers don't have the kind of cash the GT will cost. 2. As a 53 year old who still plays games and has been playing all the consoles since the first Atari ... it makes this guy look really stupid. Us /olds know WTF a game pad/controller looks like. SMH.
Tesla has been doing Cali-Swedish minimalism for over a decade. It is dated.
Kia car is best . Now the poor people can not bye 8000000 price .so issue is price . Can pls u will take price 3500000 lack
Ev with a 9 second 0-60. IT better cost next to nothing.. what’s the point of getting an ev and missing out on the good part of EV
4 wheel version's 0-60 is 5.3. They say GT version 0-60 will be 4.3 sec
No electric car is affordable.
Model 3 base is 272 miles of range with a glass roof, premium interior, heat pump standard, safest vehicle in it's class.🤔
Starts at 41k now which is 8k under the average new sedan sold here in the U.S. It also still qualifies for the full tax credit until April 17th, then it drops to $3,750. Ad in local government or state incentives and some states you can get a brand new tesla m3 for 25-28k all inclusive of rebates&credits. 👍🏻
@@4literv6 so - from the UK - I would have to buy it from America, but from a certain state that may or may not have the offer and from end of April no incentives? Plus with the awful build quality, awful base model and even worse aftermarket residual value, especially with Tesla dropping prices massively !
No electric car is worth it against an ICE variant. I have a Mercedes GLB - £42k. Electric equivalent is £52k. Old tech already, does nothing better than my car and goes 140 miles less.
And battery tech - is in its infancy and once you battery warranty goes - you are fucked. And they ain’t as sustainable as the industry wants you to believe, the infrastructure is weak (here in the uk at least) and I think they just don’t hit value for money, especially with the world energy crisis. In fact, you’d be much worse off here in the UK if you bought an electric car.
@@ColonelSternlove I recommend shutting yourself up in an enclosed space with your beloved diesel death machine and turning it on.
Make sure the exhaust pipe goes right near your mouth as it's full of hot air and poison just like you seem to be.👍🏻😎
It would settle the point once and for all about what's safer and factually environmentally better.
55k gtfo. The average consumer can’t afford this wtf.
*Most people are taught that "you only need a good job to become rich". These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists*
Growing your money in bear market is an act
Much much money earning profit from Bryan Mendoza
@promise Kane bots,SMH
If you're trying to imitate a billionaire, then you're a sociopath.
This obsession with huge cars seems to be for people compensating for other, not huge parts of themselves
wtf is an ioniq 9?
Why do all ev cars look weird
I can’t wait to steal one or two. Ha! Did they fix their ignition issue which allows the to be stolen so easily.
Ha, doesn’t have a ignition so I guess not
Ya don't need a battery for an electric vehicle , come on people , push the filthy rich to make the right decisions and ignore their gov. overlords !
What planet are you living on, how is 45 to 60 thousand affordable.
EV9 ... mid size...
I've already lost interest 😴.
Rims are ugly. GT line has better ones.
American news outlets, always going against American corporations. On the other hand, Europeans support national champions like Miele, WW, Mercedes or BMW. It's such a difference for a person that is not American or European like me.
Tesla better , much betterc
stick with Tesla then
@@qkrwnstj0917 I have 3 performance , it’s fast like Lambo but reliable like Toyota
Great! They didn't follow Tesla's stupid sunroof that has no cover.
Why do we care what the 0-60 is on a stupid SUV. I’m sure that’s the main reason people buy these.
