Pros Cons of BMW i5

Verdict

Pros Cons of Kia EV9

Pros

  • Cavernous cabin with extremely comfortable captain seats
  • Quick 350 kW DC charging capability
  • Excellent refinement and a whisper-quiet ride
  • Loaded with practical tech like V2L and Level 2 ADAS

Cons

  • The suspension feels bouncy over large dips
  • No air suspension offered at this price point
  • Brand perception does not match its German rivals

Verdict

The Kia EV9 is a bold statement. At Rs. 1.30 crore, it steps directly into the territory dominated by legacy luxury brands. It does not have the wafty air suspension you might expect for the money, but what it may lack in engineering precision, it easily makes up for in sheer space and usability.

The three-row cabin is genuinely practical, the electric drivetrain is muscular yet smooth, and the feature list leaves almost nothing to be desired. It is a highly capable family vehicle that also turns heads without relying on an oversized grille. Ultimately, if you value functional luxury, great ride refinement and seating for six, the EV9 is worth your attention.

Girish summarises,

“If you want something that stands out, has a massive three-row layout, and promises a feature-packed electric experience that turns heads, the EV9 is one serious contender.”
