After the EV6, which inaugurated the family, it’s now the turn of the Kia EV9, the new flagship SUV that combines design with comfort, one of the few electric proposals with 7 seats. The car once again embraces the Opposites United philosophy, in this case deviating little from the concept car that preceded it. Our test focused on the Kia EV9 Long Range RWD, with 203 HP and a range of 563 km on the WLTP cycle, precisely the one best suited for those who travel a lot and also use the car as a work tool, here combined with a representative car. A very versatile car, suitable for both families and workers thanks to V2L and V2G technologies, which surprises with its interior space and energy efficiency. In our 7 days, we used it to travel through all Denmark, covering a total of 1,900 km with a cost of just over 1400 DKK (€200, or 2191 SEK/2189 NOK). But let’s go in order – waiting for the other interesting Kia models. https://lnkd.in/dxEk8HRc Kia Danmark Kia Sweden AB Kia Bil Norge #automotive #cars #electriccars #testdrive

Electric carmakers are constantly innovating, and Hyundai is no exception. The recently spotted IONIQ 9, a three-row electric SUV (e-SUV), is generating excitement with its size, design, and potential to be a game-changer in the electric family car market. Big On Space, Bold On Design The IONIQ 9 marks Hyundai’s debut in the three-row electric SUV segment. Recent test sightings, though camouflaged, reveal a large body that promises ample passenger and cargo space – a major selling point for families considering electric vehicles. Early reports suggest the IONIQ 9 even dwarfed the Kia EV9, a similar electric SUV from Kia, when parked side-by-side. While spaciousness is crucial, design is equally important. The IONIQ 9 seems to be taking a different design approach than its Kia counterpart. Unlike the boxy EV9, the IONIQ 9 appears to be more streamlined and sloped, hinting at a potentially sportier and more aerodynamic profile.

It's nice to see Kia adding a hybrid option to the Carnival. However, it would be great if Kia added an AWD option to compete with the large SUV segment. Personally, I like the design and wonder if minivans will make a "comeback" in the next few years. Especially with the rising cost of large SUVs. #kia #minivan #hybrid
