Kia EV9
Kia EV9 Air
The Kia EV9 Air is among the fastest-charging SUVs on sale, adding about 85 miles in a 10-minute stop. Its boot is smaller than most competing SUVs.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 89% of its battery health, roughly 373 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you’re buying used. What owners say: Owners value the space: seven proper seats, a large boot and a calm, comfortable cabin for long family journeys. Several owners report early electrical problems, most commonly a 12V battery draining overnight and leaving the car unable to start.

What Owners Say
BalancedOwners Love
- Owners value the space: seven proper seats, a large boot and a calm, comfortable cabin for long family journeys.
- Charging is fast, maintaining high power to about 80% on an 800-volt rapid charger.
- Owners report about 300 miles in mild conditions, making longer journeys easy.
Watch Out For
- Several owners report early electrical problems, most commonly a 12V battery draining overnight and leaving the car unable to start.
- When faults require parts, owners report lengthy dealer waits and poor after-sales support, including a few battery-module repairs lasting months.
- Recurring minor problems include tyre-pressure warnings, parking-sensor faults and software glitches.
Owner Tips
- Ask about any previous 12V battery, sensor or battery-module work and request the invoices.
- Before buying, check every camera and parking sensor, plus the tyre-pressure display.
- In winter, precondition the battery before rapid charging.
