Based on a relatively brief, one-day drive, the country’s newest fully electric automobile is one of the finest.Kia is a busy automaker with electrification in its product line, much of which will be displayed at the Denver Auto Show. In addition to the new EV9, the EV6 is a compact electric crossover. The small Niro is offered in electric, plug-in hybrid and gas/electric hybrid. The Sportage and Sorento are available as plug-in or regular hybrid.
Accessing I-25 was a snap with the instant torque and quick acceleration of the EV9; its lane correction system was firm and very effective. It is moved by a 379-horsepower, dual-motor powertrain, with tow capacity up to 5,000 pounds. Its MPGe rating is 88 city/72 highway; its energy rating in kilowatt-hours to travel 100 miles is 42.
There is comfort aplenty aboard the EV9; its bolstered seatback was perfect for me. Its blunt front end brightens with new lighting technique for nighttime cruising. It has less distinguishing appeal up front during daylight hours.The EV9 with GT-Line all-wheel-drive trim was sticker priced at $75,735, including head-up display, self-leveling rear suspension, Meridian premium audio, dual 12.
