Had this one for a week to review. Gonna be sad to see it go. A legit 3 row family SUV that's all electric. Not much else even compares at the moment because it costs so much less than anything else with 3 rows.

It's been great. Everyone I let drive it raved about it.

" Not much else even compares at the moment because it costs so much less than anything else with 3 rows."

So much less than another 3 row EV, or any 3 row? The price difference between an EV9 and my Telluride covers gas for a very long time.

Any other 3 row EV of course

My legs wouldnt fit under the steering wheel. Not sure outside of Guatemala you get people in that third row.
I like the look minus the wheels. Kia has come a long way.

Those wheels are the worst I've ever seen. Simply don't understand why car makers can't use normal wheels for EV's.

Very polarizing. I don't like them either. Some do. They're specific to the Land trim.

Ugly wheels on EVs is an aero thing

I'd assume it's because people care far more about an extra 20 miles of range than they would for an extra 0.2 mpg.

The matte paint combined with the shiny trim is different. How does it look in sunlight?

I like it. strangely it seems to pick up more of the surrounding colors than a gloss paint job. So under a bright blue sky you get some blue hue. At dusk it'll have a slight champagne tint to it.

There's a ton of tilt adjustment in the seat. In the pic I have it tilted as high as it'll go. I'm 6'2" and it was no problem at all.

3rd row is certainly not for adults but it's not that bad, especially with the 2nd row moved up a little bit. And it's typical of the segment. This is not quite a mid size crossover. Size wise it feels somewhere in between a Sorento and a Telluride.

Best I got with some sun.
