Thoughts on the Kia EV9?

We've got a Sorento PHEV now and are looking to upsize in the fall. Ioniq 7 and EX-90 are also on the list to check out, presuming they're available by then.

EQS is not an option, nor are the MY or MX. R1S is borderline, but android auto is a hard requirement for the wife.

Drove it, love it, didn’t buy it as it’s too big for my needs. Can’t really predict long term reliability, but the 1st year for any car could potentially mean a number of issues and fixes to deal with as part of the ownership experience. The 1st year EV6/Ioniq5 has had that, and so was the GV60 but to a lesser extent.

I'll be getting one whenever we need another vehicle. Love my Sorento right now and the EV9 checks all of the boxes

Update--test drove a GT-Line yesterday and really liked it. Checks just about all the boxes, so unless the Volvo and Hyundai blow me away presuming they're actually out by the fall, the EV9 looks like it's the leading contender.
