Unveiled to the world this time last year, the flagship all-electric Kia EV9 has since won numerous awards for its design and technology. The EV9 can be configured as a six- or seven-seater, but despite being a fraction over 5m long, nearly 2m wide and 1.78m tall, it actually drives pretty well.
The entry-level 200bhp Air model’s one-speed automatic powertrain propels this family car to a reasonable 0-62mph in 9.4 seconds. If you want more swiftness and gadgets, then the 378bhp all-wheel drive GT-Line and GT-Line S variants make the same sprint in 5.3 seconds and crucially, with power delivered to all four wheels, help the EV9 feel more sure-footed.
