Kia EV9

The Kia EV9 provides genuine seven-passenger seating in a three-row electric SUV with 300 miles of range and Level 2 autonomous driving, starting at $54,900—a price that embarrasses luxury competitors like the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, which costs nearly twice as much. Its 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds is faster than the average three-row SUV, while a 7,700-pound towing capacity exceeds the Rivian R2 by 10%. A concrete data point: the EV9's cabin features 29 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, offering 15% more room than typical rivals. Its 800-volt architecture allows a 10-80% charge in 24 minutes, making it 25% quicker than the Xiaomi SU7.
