That swivel seat is just a gem for installing child seats, and how easily you'll be able to put your child in and out. Magnificent job KIA!
I'm not sure if you will be alowed to swivel it with a carseat installed, but if you are that would be so cool
There're swivel carseats too.
Nope no swivel seats for the USA ; Nanny State pencil pushers have banned the feature
@@harriettanthony7352yes. Swivel seats will be illegal in many jurisdictions. Can’t imagine they’d be legal here in Australia.
I must say KIA allways reaches my expections with the EV Cars and going more to a premium brand.
These new cars just looks awesome!
But Kia dealers fail the brand, few months ago my friend try to buy Kia in Texas, dealer gave offer MSRP plus 5.000 extra for them, so FU Kia.
Had a Kia for 10 years and my mechanic thanked me personally he said thanks to my car he managed to build a a second level on his house 😅
@@dfsdh432v9 yeah my aunt was the same, had no idea how to properly use a car and her mechanic was always fixing shit she broke.
Some people just don't understand cars, but that's okay mechanics need food to.
Kia and Hyundai now are like Toyota / Honda of the 90s.
I'm sensing alot of Korean pride in Kia from DK! In the UK and Europe, we really need EV small hatchbacks, but hey, instead Kia are giving Range Rover a competitor. The interior design ticks every box that VW have managed to get wrong.
Yeah. I think the major problem is that small EVs just dont make much money. So many brands are focusing on these big overpriced things to help pay the tab for the expense of both going EV and losing a chunk of the ICE car sales that were supposed to pay for their last gen platform. I am confident that we will see more smaller cars in the future (perhaps after a big leap in battery technology) but for now this is what is paying for that.
The US market will love this as well,huge 3 row SUV market here
Hope they dont have battery problems like the Ioniq. They bought back my brothers. I warned him.
@@patreekotime4578 The problem of course being that larger cars counteract the environmental benefits of going electric. It's all just about greenwashing to the manufacturers, the appearance of going green, they don't take the climate crisis seriously.
Agree it would be good to see a small EV from Kia (that’s allegedly the next one coming), disagree, re the ID comment. No annoying touchy buttons on the steering wheel here! Those haptic ones on the dash work just fine on the Ariya so I’m not too worried about them either. I personally think the interior looks great
Really happy to see DK Kim joining the Fully Charged team. He's been doing great Kia / Hyundai videos on KRplus for a while now.
Yeah the guy is awesome.
We’re lucky to have him!
Yes exactly! I was so happily suprised to see him! :)
He may get the prize for the happiest member of the team, I think.
DK’s YT channel is CarSceneKorea. Great stuff!
I am so impressed by what Kia has produced. I would take that over any offering of Mercedez, BMW and Audi any day of the week. The presentation was done really well also, I watched from start to end and still wanted more, great job.
yep Kia has certainly come a long way and are bringing their A-game for sure! My wife and I are leasing a 2022 Kia Sorento right now and in fact lost the bet at the dealership when we first got it cause I was driving and swearing up and down that it was a 6-cylinder engine cause it rode and felt like one and the salesman was like "Nope...it's only a 4! We get that a lot though." On top of that it looks really sharp too! We are very happy to say the least...as I'm passing up Mercedes, BMW's and Audi's along the interstate in my lil'ole 4-cylinder lol!
Very true
Best of luck to you all.. I know a guy who got one brand new in 2020 and has had nothing but problems. Been stranded multiple times, had to have a new motor put in already aswell as still having random stalling issues to this day.....
Ps I can't ever mistaking a six cylinder for a four and that has little to nothing to do with ride quality...
Here in Australia, with our love for big honking SUV's, this will be very popular!
Definitely 👍
If it ever gets to Australia, only a few models seem to for some reason.
@@darmou Pretty sure it's confirmed for Oz, third quarter thos year.
We have the ev6 (though not many) and it won wheels car of the year! That’s not just as an ev but car of the year for all cars. And the ioniq5 was streets ahead of the competition in second place.
@@Vegesaurus7 I see a few EV6 here in Perth, they are so rare the still turn heads!
I'm really digging the design on this car. Very futuristic and quirky. The interior looks really neat as well. I hope that they'll make an EV9 GT
You should check out the VINFAST VF 9, what do you think about the design, I think it’s really nice.
Probably another great EV by Kia, BUT they need to ramp up their production to meet demand and they have to price this just right since their EVs do not qualify for EV credits in NA. The two year waiting list for an EV6 GT is just ridiculous on top of insane dealer markups. Unless Kia is perfectly happy selling their cars only to youtubers and car review journalist!
Good points!
Kia's design team has been on a roll
Its only downsides are production restraints and poor dealership interactions with ridiculous markups.
These cars might as well be concept cars bc who knows when we'll actually get to see it in the wild in the USA. Supply and price markups by the dealers make these cars a dream more than reality.
My immediate impression: simply stunning! Looking forward to seeing this in person.
Looks like a futuristic Kia Telluride. Nice.
Spot on! And I’ve always had a soft spot for The Telluride
Basically the same feature GM used to have on the Pacifica and Grand Caravan. But people always chose the stow and go over spin and go as the stow and go allowed you to haul stuff easier and gave you storage space when not stowed.
I really like it, will be interested to see how it's equipped in North America and how it ends up being priced. Ideally, I'd prefer physical controls for the AC, but haptics are at least an improvement over the usual touch buttons.
DK's enthusiasm is contagious! At this point Kia/Hyundai are just blowing every other marque out of the water, hitting the best "bang for your buck" ratio for EVs over and over.
I take it you're a dealer, then.
Completely the opposite for me, only positive review are worthless and that guy is creeping me out
@@t1n4444 nope, just someone enthusiastic about EVs. like it's pretty clear the Ioniq and EV series are top 5 EVs on the road.
@@0xKruzr
Would agree very much about EVs.
However some are godawful ref looks.
I think MG have them beat for bang for your buck. But they are producing very good cars.
Swivel seat is gonna be amazing for families with baby seats!!! What a brilliant idea!
This vehicle is soo 🎉❤ gorgeous, well-done & thoughtful. I need it in my life ASAP! I love the futuristic designs and the thoughtful modern implementation of the: volume knob, AC controls, gear selector/start button, primary buttons for the touchscreen, & the swivel seats. AWESOME!
Very Impressed. Looking for a bigger car currently. The concept looked great, but the boxy long design reminded me of a Palisade. But, now the EV9 is unveiled, wow! It's completely original.
The look is growing on me! Happy to see a three row for big families coming to market!
VINFAST VF 9👍😎
It's going to be smashing success for the U.S. We need more big three row SUVs.
More DK Kim please, he's detail and design oriented and that's right up my alley
Actually it’s a good review by DK Kim. Professional tone, enthusiastic and informative.
wow bravo kia, i would of never consider buying a kia but these past few models/yrs, they are killing it
I'm a model 3 owner just became a father, and looking to take care of my parents in their 60s. I was dead set on a model x, but this is quite a beast and I love the interior.
I will definitely consider this or the Lexus 450e.
3 row seat Model X is expensive as hell.
OMG DK, those swivel seats are crazy mad, love them. Nice to see you doing another FC video as well. It definitely is a massive SUV though, not something I would like but I'm sure the school run parents driving Range Rovers due to some leaves being on the road may buy this instead. The efficiency cannot be great. Look forward to your road tests eventually to find out what sort of efficiency it gets.
So looking forward to having it in our showroom here in NZ, such a stunning vehicle and KIA is just killing it!
I wonder if they will make a 3rd row deletion option available in the future?
Reason for that is that I like this SUV but don't want the third row seats and could use the extra space and make the vehicle light as well
Any 3rd row is deletable with a few wrenches and some patience.
Great episode, I guess there is a market for these beasts and it will do well in it, but I really hope Kia now turns its attention to efficiency and smaller cars. The "new" Niro isn't going to cut it against the competition, we need to see an eGMP replacement.
Love this review, nice one DK!
Good job DK - nice addition to the team 👍
I'm sure that stupidly large car will be very popular in the US
The Swivel Seats are so good! Hopefully they can be angled that way even when driving--!
No way. It’ll be unsafe and illegal.
Thank You for this great review!!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!! Thanks
G Wagen meets Escalade meets Telluride. Home run. The swivel seats are innovative but not sure how usable, given the lack of legroom between the seats!
At the very least you could swivel the middle seats, sit in the back, and put your feet up.
@@andrewdyjach7305 Exactly, you could make an amazing lounge for two in the back.
Getting a child into the child seat will be easier with the swivs. As long as those seats are child seat compatible they are a huge drawcard for anyone with young children.
that's the first time I've seen someone enthusiastic for haptic feedback buttons!
Look up the old previews for the PlayStation 5 controller, people were losing their minds! To be fair, the top end haptic feedback engines are incredible, indistinguishable from physical buttons but if they used the small ones they stick in phone screens then they will be what everyone expects
Some people like them. But I am bewildered by the reviewer claiming the haptic feedback "lets you know you pushed the right button". Huh? Yeah, it lets you know you pushed _a_ button, but the _right_ one? You need physical buttons with different shapes/sizes/movements for that.
I wish these touch controls would go away and we'd get physical controls back, at least for the commonly used stuff, things you need while driving.
Great job on your part DK Kim - wonderful review.
It's massive, it looks great and no doubt it's going to be very expensive. Love it.
I really love the tail lights and the swivel seats are fantastic!! I just hope the price isn’t crazy expensive.
Would love to see the second row seats that rotate. Looks like it would be great for transferring my mother from a wheelchair to the seat. Hope it makes it to the finished product.
Great video and welcome to the FC Team DK. Nice looking car for a small segment of the market but where are the mass market budget EV's from these legacy auto makers?
I wonder how well protected the base is for off-roading purpose. At least if it is stronger than ev6? Also what is wading depth?
Gonna be interesting to see how this compares to Volvo EX90 in price, range, charge speed and other specs, not to mention price.
Or Polestar 3
Will likely be cheaper than EX90. If comparing to EX90, should look into the Rivian R1S
i would take the volvo. not only because it has more range, over 50 miles more range but because it is more luxurious. comes with air suspension and B&W speakers, the kia doesnt. Basically volvo will have better sound, better ride quality, more comfortable seats, better tech/self driving tech too and way better range and safety. i think the max range y can get with the kia ev9 is 260 miles. the kia is great but volvo is a way better car cant even compare.
@@Luke-pv3rr for $115,000 it's not.
@@tonypaca3015 Volvo bot
EV replacement for the Range Rover or the many SUV in the USA?
It's great to see a center console that doesn't intrude into the footwell. Also good to see is a return to putting the drive selector back on the steering column.
I disagree. It’s pointless not using that space for charge ports and controls and places to put stuff. There’s absolutely no reason for a gap in front of the centre console - you will never pass between the left and right so why have a useless void? A missed opportunity there.
Also - at least the drive selector is it’s own stalk unlike Tesla where you think it’s the wipers or headlights (so dumb) - far too easy to change it out of gear by accident.
@@jerrymyahzcat
If you park on a busy city street (like NYC), it's safer for the driver to enter or exit the car on the passenger side next to the curb, instead of into oncoming traffic.
Storage can be provided by slide out drawers under the front seats, and charge ports can be located in the door pockets, the dashboard, or in the glove compartment. Cup holders can be available by slide out cup holders recessed into the dashboard area.
Before posting this comment I queried
ChatGPT to see what it had to say. This is what it said:
"Yes, it is generally safer to enter or exit a car from the passenger side when parked on a busy city street. This practice is often referred to as "curbside exiting" or "far-side exiting." The main reason for this is that it reduces the risk of opening the door into oncoming traffic.
When a driver or passenger exits a vehicle on the driver's side in a busy street, there is a higher chance of the door opening directly into the path of moving vehicles, such as cars, bicycles, or motorcycles. This can lead to collisions and accidents, especially if the approaching vehicles are traveling at high speeds or are not able to react quickly enough.
By choosing to exit on the passenger side, individuals can minimize the risk of being struck by oncoming traffic. They can use the proximity to the sidewalk or curb as a buffer and have a clearer view of any approaching vehicles. This practice is particularly important in urban areas with heavy traffic, where the risk of accidents is higher."
I will add that there are other circumstances where having two exit options are better than one. If you are in a side impact collision and the driver's door is unable to open you are pinned by the door and the center console, so it would be great to have another exit available, especially if the car is on fire. Also, if the car runs off the road into a ditch, and the driver's side door is blocked by the ditch wall you are in the same situation. You'd be glad to have another exit option.
Good review. Towing capacity?
This will be perfect for larger families! I hope the price will be more affordable than Rivian.
I think KIA will be one to watch for our EV future, I just hope we see some small cars soon, something to compete with the BYD
Now that is what you call a car, very excited to see this❤
Ah, physical buttons in matte finish! Solid looking rollers! Perhaps even with extra engineered nice clicky feeling, we can only hope!
I would love for KIA to make an all electric minivan in this design vein.
this sure looks like a minivan to me
@@jamesengland7461 True Minivans have a much lower load floor, more configurable (read removeble) rear seating, and a much shorter front end.
@@patreekotime4578 And much more space. This vehicle has about 300 liters of space behind the third row. A Honda Odyssey has Over 900 liters of space behind the third row. The huge hood means it's also a pedestrian- and cyclist-killing machine.
Rumor is that the Kia Carnival can will eventually have EV option
@@shotkall3r ev carnival would be fantastic
I haven't watched the entire video yet but just from looking at it for a moment I realized the car looks a lot like a Kia Telluride but better, more futuristic and sophisticated.
I agree that this is a fine expression of KIA design, build quality, and finished product.
Am first seeing this guy and he just on point, no deviations just a straight review
Both Kia an Hyundai current EVs are in high demand but experiencing low production and limited distribution. The brands’ EV models are excellent in all trim levels. More assembly plants are needed in all continents. Thanks
Demand can also affect the supply, we have limited parts due to a lack of battery components. Don’t forget, the EV race is very competitive and there are lots of manufacturers having to share the raw materials.
tell me about it orderd an ev6 year last february in the uk still dont even have a build date for it
If I don’t got it totally wrong, Kia and Hyundai don’t make so many cars due to the fact that they don’t make any money off the EVs. If they ramped up the production, they would lose enormous amounts of money.
In all continent indeed, they aren't known in the Chinese Market... Leave the bottle man..
Here in Korea they're ubiquitous - I see them multiple times daily
Hopefully this has a battery pack noticeably bigger than the one on EV6 to ensure a long range.
The Long Range version is expected to feature 100kWh of battery capacity. Although it has a high battery capacity, it is losing a lot in aerodynamics because of its cool box design. We will know only when the exact specifications are released, but we will not have secured as much new mileage as expected. It is known to have a mileage of approximately 304 to 305 miles based on the long range version.
500km range, decent.
I am on top of the EV9 waiting list here in Sweden!
They're too big, more battery, more weight so more battery.. repeat the cycle
Buy a model 3 unless you've got a dog
@@80y3r9 The dilemma between battery and weight. I agree with you. But while Mo3 is great, Mo3 and EV9 are completely different categories. For consumers who need large SUVs, Mo3 is meaningless no matter how good it is.
@@80y3r9 What a comparison... Its a famliy car... target is different. Model 3 is a sporty sedan which has smaller interior space than the Elantra or the Civic. People with height of 5 foot 9 or 6 cannot even sit straight in the back of a model 3.
Great review!! Nicely presented. Price? Warrenty?
DK's upbeat enthusiasm makes him a natural salesman.
Great looking but then you still have to deal with Kia dealerships where the staff knows little to nothing about EVs and doesn't care to learn and that maybe have 1 or 2 certified techs who may or may not be available because they also work on ICE vehicles and not EVs exclusively. We had a 2019 Kia Niro EV and it was a wonderful little crossover EV but anytime we needed service we had to rely upon one of the two certified techs being available and minor things took all day or even overnight. We own a Tesla Model 3 now and service is leaps and bounds better than any service we have ever received on any of our cars in the past. I realize not all Tesla service centers are the same but ours here in Palm Springs, CA is excellent. Not until the dealerships change their service model and the charging infrastructure for non-Tesla EVs is improved dramatically will we consider any other EV than a Tesla.
Tesla are an EV only brand, of course their knowledge about EV’s is going to be better than that of KIA US. You should speak to a sales person from the Europe dealerships where there’s much more of an EV push than in the states
Thank you for being honest. 👍🏻
Kia has definitely stepped up in quality and design! Great job kia and Hyundai!!
Looks nice. Thanks. Best regards Martin
This design slaps! Man I wish I could get one! Well done KIA
Saw the concept version of this at the Busan International Motor Show last year. Can't believe the final version is even more amazing! (Video on my account for anyone interested) ✌
Love it! It's giving me Volvo by Korea vibes. Very very cool!
Looks huge! Am I daft or were there 6 seats not 7? Still not sure I understand lack of frunk space in non-Tesla evs. All that space has to be doing something, or Canoo it!
Love the interior design too. Reminds me of the best out of France / Sweden a couple of decades ago.
He keeps referring to 7-seater. I counted 6 seats - three rows of two each...
Yeah, same. My best guess: there will be a 7 seated without the swiveling seats but a 3 seater 2nd row.
@@erniegerd3511 That's exactly what it is. You choose between a bench (seats 3) or two captains chairs.
thats a pretty small and deep set frunk for such a huge car.
Love your work 👍
I like it. Looks pretty nice. Great job presenting DK Kim.
Sized like a tank. I guess ppl drive the old full Discovery Range Rover so it's possible. Eye watering cost though.
But with better reliability 👍
Finally, a real EV competitor to a full-sized minivan!
A third of the cargo space of a comparable minivan. I'll keep waiting.
@@kurt.dresner Ford Transit EV
Nice, but how about a version that makes the second row seats removable and deletes the third row all together? Need something to replace my Odyssey and this could work if they eliminate the cargo obstructions.
The EV9 looks pretty sweet, can't wait to see the production model. I only see 6 seats, not 7. Hopefully there is a 2nd row bench option.
Knocking it out the park KIA, well done 👏
Love it, but until somebody finds a way to reduce weight while maintaining structural stability and safety, EVs this size are just too big to provide 350+ range. And I truly believe that if the efficiency cost was less, large cars like this would regain popularity. We just couldn't complain about driving tanks like this if they were barely less efficient than say, an Ioniq5.
Good I want one of these. Can't wait for real supply of all KIA EVs in Australia. At the moment it's really just token effort.
Nice video! How would you compare this with Volvo's EX90?
Ooooooh it has door gunner seats!
Very nice. The interior and controls are great. We really need final numbers on range. For such a massive road trip vehicle I'm not sure high 200s is going to cut it. Ideally 350 miles and up is going to be better. I say this because if you already have to charge it at 80% then you don't get that 20%. Driving dynamics will also decrease but in some case increase efficiency so we'll need to see it tested in the real world.
The exterior styling is ok. Really boxy like a Chevy Suburban in my opinion. The design I like best is the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 7. It's not as boxy but sexier looking.
Will this also be available in the UK?
I like it! I was waiting for the Nio Es8 to come to the Netherlands (as they had promissed) but... Nio Es8 isn't coming so now I am happy to see this Kia for big family's !!! Hopefully coming to the Netherlands soon!
Another game-changer from Kia.
Another awesome day for rich people.
Been waiting for a decent 7 seat EV. As a family of 6 this will be perfect. Interested to see what Hyundai do with the ioniq7 as a comparison on the same platform. Suspect there will be a long wait for this one…
Wow! Kia, reinventing the past. I can remember swiveling seats back in the days of the Plymouth Fury and there have been many of others since then and maybe some before that. Oh. I even have some in my 1994 Monaco coach. So, EV9 is okay. Not bad looking, but bigger than I need.
This is the size I’ve wanted but it’s definitely going to be out of the price range most people can afford
You could wait couple years and buy one used.
@@moderatesunited I have a feeling these are going to be in short supply for several years making the cost be pretty high for a while
But is it a size you need?
High doubt it will be more than the Volvo XC90. EV9 will probably cost under $90,000
Can't someone make a family EV for 5+ already that's not too big? This is ridiculous.
BYD, MG, JEEP... They all make one
@@G-Cam1 Those are all either SUVs too, or don't have three regular seats in the second row. Many brands don't even show the rear interior on their websites. I want a regular wagon (currently MB E-Class) or a minivan. I hate SUVs.
Love it!!! Great job!!
What are the paddle shifters for?
Well, there’s a car aimed at the US market
We need more of DK Kim on the Fully Charged Show!!
That price tag for an over sized bonneted MPV, you then have to rent some of the features… but you don’t get a rear screen wiper. I’m surprised they’re not charging extra for using the wheels. Got to ask if Kia have bothered to fit fog lights. As Kia don’t appear to recognise that outside Korea, there’s this atmospheric thing call fog.
But great review. Thank you.
It does have a rear screen wiper, it’s tucked under the rear spoiler.
How much will it cost and how off road capable will the AWD version be.
❤️what I’m seeing can’t wait to the final production model 😍
This is the production model!
Yep, the world absolutely needs another massive SUV.
Excellent car from Kia and loving the passion of DK Kim
Happy to see CarSceneKorea. Seems like FC production did cut up his presentation a lot but maybe down the line they find a way to synchronise
The algorhythm punishes videos over a certain length, unless they are streams 🙄. So thats why you see many new videos are aggressively cut down whereas FC used have a more whimsical and airey editing style.
Totally out of my price range and far too big for me and my lunchbag on my 40 mile daily commute.
That being said. I love it.
What an incredible looking machine.
If my circumstances changed this would be at the top of my list.
Huge EVs mitigating the well needed energy reduction we could make. That’s humans for ya….
Coming from a 7 seater to the EV6 took a bit of getting used to, but this could send me right back to 7 seats.
Damnnn, it'll probably be 15-20k cheaper than a Rivian. My Rivian delivery is set for q3 this year. The swivel seats alone make me want to reconsider. If you have kids, you know how nice that feature is!
