The Fastest EV9 Isn't The Best EV9 | Kia EV9 GT Review

The Kia EV9 is already one of the best large electric SUVs on sale. It's spacious, comfortable, practical, packed with technology and capable of carrying up to seven people in genuine comfort. So what happens when Kia decides to give it over 500hp, a 0-62mph time of just 4.6 seconds and a GT badge? In this full House of Cars road test review, I take a look at the new Kia EV9 GT to find out whether a performance version of Kia's flagship electric SUV actually makes sense. The GT adds more power, GT-specific suspension, torque vectoring, an electronic limited-slip differential and even a virtual gear shift system. But does any of that make the EV9 a better family SUV? Or has Kia simply taken an already excellent car and made it faster for the sake of it? With prices starting at around £80,000 and my test car costing £83,845, this isn't just a question of performance—it's a question of value.
