Compare Kia EV9 to the Competition

The Kia EV9 and Volvo EX90 are very similar new electric SUVs, though they have key differences. The first and most notable difference is the difference in price. The Kia EV9 starts at $54,900, while the Volvo EX90 starts at $79,995. That is a massive leap in price for vehicles that offer many of the same features and amenities. For budget-conscious shoppers, the Kia EV9 is the better choice.

Another area that distinguishes these two models is design. The new Kia EV9 offers a sportier look and feel, while the Volvo EX90 provides a more minimalist philosophy. This difference in style means more adventurous shoppers will gravitate towards the Kia EV9.

The Kia EV9 and Audi Q8 e-tron® differ in many ways. One of the most notable ways they differ is price. The Kia EV9 starts at $54,900, while the Audi Q8 e-tron® starts at $74,400. That is another big leap in price, meaning that budget-conscious drivers will lean towards the Kia EV9.

Both of these electric vehicles can also tow when properly equipped. Kia provides the Kia EV9 with a 5,000-pound towing limit, while the Audi Q8 e-tron® only offers up to 4,000 pounds of towing capacity. That 1,000-pound gap can mean a world of difference for drivers and what they can tow along on their drives.

The Kia EV9 and Jeep® Grand Cherokee L are both larger SUVs with some similarities but plenty of differences. The first major difference is that the Jeep® Grand Cherokee L runs on gas, while the Kia EV9 runs on an all-electric powertrain.

The Kia EV9, due to its electric powertrain, is more efficient, featuring an EPA-estimated combined city and highway rating of 89 MPGe; the Jeep® Grand Cherokee L, on the other hand, offers an EPA-estimated combined 21 MPG. That is a big gap to consider.
