Why the Kia EV9 Won First Place With a 10/10
Taking first place with a perfect 10 out of 10 score, the 2024 Kia EV9 earned its gold medal with spacious seating, long range, and a reasonable price.
Starting at $56,395
For a massive 3-row ride that runs purely on electricity, it makes sense that the EV9 would earn brownie points on the starting price alone. For reference, there are smaller EV sedans out there that are offered around the same price range.
Room For Everyone (And Everything)
In the EV9, you can stretch your legs and raise your head up high with ample cabin space. Lots of room also means greater cargo space and yet another reason why this 3-row EV SUV stood out above the rest.
