Kia EV9: The Only Electric Car That Can Truly Seat 7 Adults?

Kia EV9 Review: The most impressive 7-seat SUV on the planet? Is the Kia EV9 the car that finally makes the "premium" German brands look expensive? In 2026, the EV9 has established itself as the benchmark for luxury electric 7-seaters, even with new rivals like the Volvo EX90 and Hyundai Ioniq 9 arriving. We’re finding out if this 5-meter-long "cyberpunk" SUV is actually worth its £75,000 price tag. I’m testing the 385hp dual-motor setup, checking out the clever 180-degree swivel seats, and putting that 100kWh battery to the test to see if it really hits 300+ miles in the real world. From the 800V ultra-fast charging to the "frunk" storage and the massive boot, this is the deep dive into the car that reinvented Kia. Should you buy this over a BMW iX or a Range Rover? Let’s find out.
