The Kia EV onslaught continues to build on the foundation set by the EV6 and EV9. The EV9 is still relatively new; here are a few things you’ll want to know.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s still relatively new, it only makes sense for us to take a look at some of the features that make the EV9 an excellent choice. In the new electric vehicle market, very few SUVs have the impressive midsize build and three-row configuration of the EV9. This new family-sized EV could be the perfect choice for your growing brood to enjoy an excellent drive together.<\/p>\n

Check out some of the impressive qualities of this impressive Kia EV SUV.<\/p>\n

Get comfortable in every seat<\/h2>\n

The front seats are the most comfortable with their \u201cRelaxation Comfort\u201d qualities, which means the seats recline and have a power leg rest. This turns the front seats of this Kia into your own recliner, making it easy to rest and enjoy some quiet time while charging the EV9. These seats can also be part of the mix when you choose the Land and GT-Line trims. When you want a bit of extra comfort, you\u2019ll also admire the heating and ventilation that are part of the mix with these special seats.<\/p>\n

The extra-special Kia driver\u2019s seat<\/h2>\n

If you choose the top GT-Line of this Kia EV, you\u2019ll enjoy the benefits of the \u201cErgo Motion\u201d driver\u2019s seat. This adds the benefits of an aggressive massaging feature to the mix. This feature consists of large air bladders that inflate and deflate to soothe your stiff muscles while you drive. This is a great way to arrive home after a long day with relaxed muscles. If you want the greatest comfort in the Kia EV9, you\u2019ve got to go for the GT-Line trim.<\/p>\n

The haptic menu controls are great<\/h2>\n

The menu controls located under the touchscreen look like real buttons, but they are touch-sensitive items that provide haptic feedback and controls. These buttons are responsive when you touch them and make controlling the EV9\u2019s systems much easier. The only warning about these buttons is to avoid resting your hand on them while trying to adjust the menus and select items on the actual touchscreen. You\u2019ll love the look and feel of these haptic menu control buttons in this Kia three-row electric SUV<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Customize to the way you drive<\/h2>\n

Do automakers know best, or do you? Many vehicles come with various drive modes, but very few actually have a mode that you can customize to your own driving preferences. The Kia EV9 brings this to your experience behind the wheel. This is called My Drive Mode, and it makes this Kia EV more pleasant on the road. You can choose settings from the other drive modes and combine them to become the mode you want to enjoy. This makes your time behind the wheel much better.<\/p>\n

The EV9 has a rearview camera mirror<\/h2>\n

This feature is becoming more commonplace in the automotive world. Instead of being stuck with only the side mirrors when you fill your electric SUV with people and gear, you\u2019ll have the view you need out the rearview camera, which can be displayed in the mirror. This gives you a clear view of what\u2019s going on behind your vehicle, regardless of how much gear you brought along. Forget the days of the obstructed rear view; enjoy seeing everything happening behind your vehicle<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A useful frunk<\/h2>\n

We were amazed by the frunk in some early models, but many automakers have stopped using this space for extra storage. Thankfully, this three-row Kia EV has room under the hood to give you some extra storage and make it easy to keep items you might need. The Light trim has a 3.2 cubic-foot trunk, while the other trims have a space that measures 1.8 cubic feet. This is ideal for a first aid kit, some rope, or other items you might need in a pinch.<\/p>\n

Use your finger to unlock this Kia EV<\/h2>\n

The EV9 provides several ways to unlock and start that make things much easier for you. Forget the key fob and use a key card, turn your phone into a key, or use your fingerprint sensor to get in and get started. This sensor activates your driver profile and allows the vehicle to be set up with your distinct preferences so that you can get going. This is a pretty cool feature, but the phone-as-a-key feature is a little more useful.<\/p>\n

These features of the Kia EV9 show you why the Kia EV lineup could be where you will find the next vehicle you\u2019ll love to drive and enjoy out on the road. Could the EV9 be the right choice for you?<\/p>\n
