According to experts, the Kia EV9 is the most family friendly three-row electric SUV out there right now.
The Kia EV9 isn’t the cheapest electric car out there. It doesn’t have the longest driving range and its electric motors don’t deliver the time-warp acceleration you get in many EVs. It’s not the first three-row electric SUV to launch in the U.S., either, as the Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S exist. Yet, the EV9 is already winning people over. Early ownership reviews from Youtubers, Redditors and members of online forums are overwhelmingly positive.
Sure, that’s one of the joys of owning an EV. But most owners care more about practicality over outright acceleration. Those buyers are more likely to enjoy the RWD EV9. The SUV tested here has a curb weight of roughly 5,300 pounds, but its single rear-axle-mounted motor only produces about 201 horsepower. That means it's the slowest trim with a 0-60 miles per hour time of 8.8 seconds. The reviewers said it’s not a dealbreaker. The acceleration feels zesty to 30 mph.
