Take my money Kia.

Take my money Kia.

If it is anywhere as good as the EV6 this is going to kill it. Similar range to the R1S and I guess it will be priced much lower

Damm this looks good, hopefully the production model is as close as these concept pics shown https://www.kia.com/us/en/concept-vehicles/ev9

Exactly. I actually stayed up for a presentation they gave last fall that ended up being a whole lot of nothing. Should be perfect for my wife. No need for much offroad capabilities, but that charging curve from the eGMP platform will kick ass for road trips.

A R1-ish SUV with 800v Tech. Yup Also take my money lol. R1 fame maybe short lived if they can deliver.

Now that is a futuristic interior that I like. Looks like something out of Star Trek.

2023/2024 will be very interesting with regards to BEV truck and SUV landscape (If WW3 or a new variant does not wipe everything out).

Hard pass. That styling doesn't do much for me (but, of course, that's completely subjective).

However, it sounds like a really great vehicle from a function perspective if you're primary objective is a seven seater grocery getter.

I would guess it comes in at around $65k - same as with the ID.Buzz. So it'll definitely be less expensive than the R1S, and in some ways more capable and less in others.

If only it weren't so Start Trek . . . . .

Take this for a grain of salt but my Kia Telluride is completely a kickass 3 row SUV. I have family members who own XC90s and X5s that are stunned when I let them take it for a spin (albeit I have the K&N cold air intake, Borla Exhaust and Pedal commander).

@Tim-in-CA I'm sure will agree with me since he has one too!

This looks like a Telluride and Soul gave birth to a chunky baby. ?.

For those that may not know... Kia made offers that couldn't be refused to multiple Audi execs throughout recent history to come design/launch the most successful Hyundai / Kia vehicles of recent memory.

Kia is not playing around...

This isn't for me, but glad to see there are options! I personally would LOVE to see an electric Telluride!
