2024-02-19 EST 22:11:50

A blue 2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line.

At long last, we are about to get behind the wheel of for the first time. Sure, , and sure, , and sure , but hey — what can you do? Anyway, before we get behind the wheel of this three-row electric beast, we want to know what you want to know about it.

Before you start clicking away and asking questions, let’s get a few things we know about the crossover out of the way first. A and you can load it all the way up to over $75,000 — including about $1,500 for destination That’s a lot of cash, but . There are five trims to choose from: Light RWD, Light Long Range RWD, Wind e-AWD, Land e-AWD and the top of the heap GT-Line e-AWD.

The base model Light RWD gets you a single motor, a 76.1 kWh battery pack, 215 horsepower and 230 . The Light Long Range RWD means you trade away 14 horsepower, but you get a 99.8-kWh battery pack and 300 If you want all-wheel-drive, you’ll have to spring for the Wind e-AWD. You get a dual motor setup, increased ground clearance, 379 horsepower, 443 lb-ft of torque and 280 miles of range The Land e-AWD has a similar setup but with more interior niceties. Finally, the gives you the same horsepower — 379, but the torque is bumped to 516 lb-ft, and you still get 270 miles of range .

No matter what EV9 you go for, they’ll have the same technology and standard features — including over 24 inches of screens, , wireless charging, digital key compatibility, and DC fast charging. That last bit supports 800V, and Kia says the EV9 can charge from 10 to 80 percent in under 25 minutes.

Inside, if you’ve seen any of , you’ll be right at home. It looks like a fairly comfy and minimalist place to sit. I imagine it’ll be pretty sweet. On the outside, you’ve got those classic into crossovers. It’s a welcome sight, even if the EV9 looks a little derivative.

Anyway, that’s just about all I got for the . Drop down below and let me know what you want to know about it.
