Today, my fellow car enthusiasts, we have something truly exciting to discuss. It's the brand new 2024 Kia EV9, a three-row, fully electric family crossover. Now, before you roll your eyes and dismiss it as just another run-of-the-mill SUV, let me tell you why this particular offering from Kia deserves your attention.

First off, let's talk about the size. The EV9 is roughly the same size as Kia's popular Telluride, Toyota Highlander, and Honda Pilot. But here's the kicker: it has a longer wheelbase, thanks to the absence of an engine. This means more interior space, my friends. And let me tell you, there's plenty of it.

Now, I know what you're thinking. Electric SUVs are either too expensive or too small. Well, not anymore. The EV9 is reasonably priced, starting at around $56,000. And it's not some puny little thing either. It packs a punch with 380 horsepower in the all-wheel-drive version, which is a significant jump from the Telluride's 290 horses. Plus, it can go about 280 miles between charges and does 0 to 60 in around 4.5 seconds. Not too shabby for a vehicle weighing in at a hefty 5,400 pounds.

But let's get to the quirks and features, shall we? The key is a minimalist affair, with hidden buttons that light up when pressed. The exterior lighting is also something to behold, with unique turn signals and running lights that make the EV9 stand out from the crowd. And let's not forget those four-spoke wheels, which may not be everyone's cup of tea, but they certainly add to the overall quirkiness of this Kia.

Inside, the EV9 is a sight to behold. The interior is luxurious, with high-quality materials and comfortable seats. The center console is practical, with a nifty cup holder feature. The pedals even have plus and minus signs on them, reminding you that you're in control of this electric beast. And speaking of controls, the gear selector is fixed on the steering column, giving the cabin a unique and unconventional touch.

The infotainment system is top-notch, with a configurable home screen and a host of features that will make any tech-savvy driver happy. The EV9 also boasts an impressive array of camera technology, including a 360-degree camera, a blind spot camera, and even a rearview mirror camera. And let's not forget the rear seats, which are power-adjustable and offer a level of comfort usually reserved for first-class airplane seats.

In conclusion, the Kia EV9 is a game-changer in the world of electric SUVs. It offers ample space, impressive performance, and a plethora of quirks and features that will make any car enthusiast's heart skip a beat. So, if you're in the market for a three-row electric SUV that won't break the bank, the EV9 might just be the perfect choice for you.
