In both size and mission, you can think of the 2024 Kia EV9 as an electric Telluride, and we're sure Kia would love for its latest EV to have the breakout success of that gas-powered SUV. The EV9's debut is an especially big deal because it's the first electric entry in the popular mid-size, three-row SUV segment, where vehicles such as the Ford Explorer, Chevy Traverse, Toyota Highlander, and, of course, Kia Telluride sell by the hundreds of thousands a year in the U.S. Sure, there are a couple three-row EVs available, such as the Rivian R1S or the Tesla Model X, but both of those are way more expensive. And the Model Y can be had with an optional third row, but it's tiny.

I think it looks good. Of all the Asian manufacturers, I typically like the recent Kias the most, so not surprising.  It will be interesting to see if they can achieve that price point, and what the range ends up being.

1) those wheels are atrocious

2) I both like it and don't......it reminds me of a "generic SUV" from video games.

3) The interior does look nice.

4) Where are everyone's legs supposed to go when those 2nd row seats are sun around backward?

Why does it have two different wheels?!

I think I actually prefer the EV5 concept they showed the other day.
