How fast do you want a car that big to go? Work on efficiency and range.

[ZeusOlymp-fykx]

I am not a fan of more and more and more power. I think the 400 hp are already enough for a SUV. The only reason I can go with is, that I can laugh about the stupid expensive AMG drivers…..

[MrGMawson]

I'm not sure why people want fast cars if you can only do a certain speed ?

[snodgee]

Speed or 0 to 60 means nothing to me what I look for in a car is how far I can go with out a fill up, as when we visit our daughter and grand children time is a essence to us so we have a diesel that we can do over 640 miles and still have more than a quarter of a tank

[troleary]

We are planning to get an EV9 later in the year. Currently building an extra large car port with wide access s. Not sure why anyone would want a faster version. GT Line was incredibly quick for a large car when we took it for a test drive.

[markusnagel]

I really like the EV9 - with wife, two teenagers and a dog, our current Skoda Enyaq needs a roof box. I wouldn't even need the third row of seats in exchange for even more storage space (the dog also agrees).
However, have to test-drive it, as I'm not sure it would fit typical parking garage gates and spots here in Europe, given its enormous width.
Thanks for the video, Sam!

The entry level Rivian R1S seems like the closest 6 / 7 seat rival assuming the increased performance (suspension, breaks, tires)

[Holimanable]

I leave in România, my 2022 model 3 can not properly see when the street lights change, it can not drive alone . The range is bad and charging stations are not enough in a lot of places, România Bulgaria Greece, if they don’t make the model 3 rwd 90 kWh battery and better cold enter eficienți tesla will lose a lot of customers

[Nono-rhlr]

Acceleration has always been a metric for vehicles. When Sam points out the performance it’s just an example of EV being better than ICE. Just another metric they win on.

[livingdead]

Hopefully it has atleast 270 miles range.

[ArielBatista]

I just don't get it. Why does a 3 roll SUV need more power? Just stupid in my view.

[sandrapeverelle]

Why would compare the S plaid to a large SUV. Ridiculous

[hanswitvliet]

With those cars, you need a diesel fuelled private DC-fast charger…

[alexandersmith]

Did you hear about the kia Stinger electric being cancelled

[rogersmith]

This car makes no sense. It is a 7 seater SUV/People Mover cross over whatever that means. It costs in its top spec $135K (plus ORCs). The average Australian household is 2.59 people (so who needs a 7 seater and if you need one I don't think you can afford the nearly $100K for the base model). It is a 2.5 tonne 5 metre beast that makes little sense in an urban environment where we need EVs to be sold in big numbers to improve air quality and the idea that you can take it off road wit the caravan/boat hooked up will result in significantly reduced range to the point where it is simply not a practical alternative to a Toyota Land Cruiser diesel. The Chinese makers seemed to have pointed the way with EVs that work in an urban environment at between $40k - $50K - that's the price people can afford and will look at EVs as an option.

[nerdbikes]

The Rivian R2 is going to destroy this EV9 GT. Rivian has not revealed the official specs for the R2 variants but you can be sure Rivian will design to wipe the floor with just about anything else like the R1T and R1S do now. The current R1 series do 0-60mph in 3 seconds.

[davidcorbett]

I’m almost certain that the people who can afford this car - they won’t want it. They’ll buy a premium ICE car instead. I’m sure it’s great, but also pointless.

[lofu]

For 3 row sub, anything below 8 seconds is way sufficient. The rest is range and affordability.

Just like the xc40 volvo we getting in our country, they have a 3.8 sec dual motors. But more likely would have sold better with a cheaper single motor long range model

[Zennberry]

I'm waiting for a Jeep Wrangler 4xe full EV... Only a Jeep will do !✌️...

[JoeyBlogs]

Assuming it's AWD which it probably is, it makes sense to have that extra power for off road driving and perhaps towing. Beyond that however, the current model would be adequately powered simply as a people mover.
