The model
Read full Kia EV9 reviewIt often pays to be different, and the practical and comfortable Kia EV9 is certainly a unique offering. However, if you can live with five seats or are prepared to consider petrol and plug-in hybrid alternatives, the EV9 doesn’t stack up quite so well because of its high price. The cheapest RWD Air model makes the most sense: it gets the longest range of all EV9s and is kitted out with plenty of standard equipment.
The trim
See full equipmentYou’ll need to go for at least this trim level if you want four-wheel drive, but on top of everything that comes with entry-level Air, GT-Line adds 21in alloys, sportier styling, more comfortable front seats and adaptive headlights.
The engine
See full engine specsFour-wheel-drive versions of the EV9 are seriously quick with 0-62mph taking just 5.3 seconds. They cost more, though, and the official range between charges drops to 313 miles.
