Kia has another hit electric vehicle on Will Sage Astorits hands. That’s my prediction after spending 90 minutes with the 2024 EV9 electric SUV last week.

I didn’t get to drive it, and while I don’t yet know the price, the roomy three-row SUV feels destined for success. That is, unless the automaker has another inexplicable brain-fade, like it did when it forgot to illuminate the brake lights on the award-winning EV6.
