NewsThis photo provided by Kia shows the 2024 EV9. The EV9 is the least expensive three-row electric SUV you can buy, but it won't seem like it when you drive it.
Rivian offers more available battery and electric motor combinations for the R1S. Depending on what you pick, the R1S will have an EPA-estimated driving range of 270-400 miles. All models come standard with all-wheel drive. The R1S model Edmunds tested outperformed its EPA estimate of 318 miles by driving 330 miles.
Essentially, the Rivian R1S offers a longer maximum driving range but the EV9 reduces the time spent charging on long road trips. Consider this a toss-up.The EV9 isn’t a luxury SUV but it comes standard with premium features like synthetic leather upholstery and heated and ventilated front seats. There’s also plenty of tech including big display screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and many standard advanced driver aids.
The R1S seats seven passengers and can carry 17.6 cubic feet of cargo behind the third row and 46.7 cubic feet with the third row folded down. Its large front trunk is considerably larger than the EV9’s, giving you another spot to store gear. The R1S tops the EV9 with its impressive max towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. It’s also a powerhouse, producing 533 to 835 horsepower depending on the motor configuration, and it’s capable of going off-road.
