Our test drive reveals the truth about this much-beloved new electric seven-seater.
If you are to believe the hype, the all-new Kia EV9 electric SUV is going to be the first automobile to land on the moon. It can outplay Brock Purdy in the QB slot, and if the Dems or the GOP decide to play it safe, either could run the EV9 at the top of their ticket and win the White House in November. Launched this model year, the EV9 is, apparently, the auto biz's next big thing, in more ways than one. So big! So praised! It has awards coming out of its tailpipe.
Out on the roller-coaster-like back roads of California's Sierra Foothills, the GT-Line EV9 took full advantage of its electric torque. The 0-to-60 sprint takes 4.5 seconds, according to Kia. That's ballsy fast for a vehicle that can fit the whole 49ers offensive line seatbelted in. Kia is happy to brag that the 60-mph time for the GT-Line is quicker than the 2023 Range Rover P400 three-row, and the 70-to-0 stop is quicker too. The electric motors deliver 189.
