Kia EV9 review - Kia's flagship over BMW iX and Mercedes EQE? | First Drive | Autocar India

India has significantly reduced its import duties on electric vehicles (EVs), slashing them from 110% to 15% for premium models (priced above USD 35,000). In Uttar Pradesh, the registration fee is zero for EVs. It's simply these greedy companies that are sucking people in the name of premium cars.

NoKia especially because of those alloy wheels!

Wasted my time watching this

Looks like a Carens and Syros combined on 150% zoom😂😂😂

Many fools believe greedy companies going to reduce the price after significant reduction on imported ev cars.

Why would anyone buy something like this when Mahindra's XEV 9e and BE 6 are providing way more value at just 30 Lakh ?!

Should have been more flashy. Doesn't even look like a 50L SUV.

People will mistake for Seltos

The design of the headlamps and taillamps gives me a Cadillac escalade vibes

Kia is just playing with the people who have big ego . You know for some people they buy simply because it's expansive.

Lego car

What a joke😂

It's depreciation value going to be crazy. 📉

It's great option in used car buyers. Oh It's a ev never mind.

60 lakh for the car, 70 for the govt.

TBH this is better than Merc, BMW or Audi EVs...it sells here in Canada like Hot Dogs.

This should be max 50 lakh rs car not more than that

Why the heck I need a massage seat in my car 😂😂

NoKIA for 1cr ❌

Price is disgustingly high but there will be people to buy it

With this car Kia just wants to make a premium place in the market. They don’t intend to sell these in numbers.
Premium image = High Pricing = More profits.

No one will buy Kia for more than 30 L . It’s better if they put this car in a car museum

Such cars are brought just to enhance image . Not for sales

Maximum 50 lakh ki lagti he , kia ki brand value isse jayda nahi he

Not at all appealing for the price range...

Velfire is better than this

Kia Brought it in india Just for Brand Image ..... For Telling Customers that there is a Kia for 1.3 Crores ..... And showing this , while selling Sonet , Syros and Seltos .... They themselves know this car will not sell at this 1.3 crore price .... This is Just a Halo Car

Amazing vehicle I’ve watched foreign reviews when it came out overseas and a few long term reviews, this car has always been a solid purchase but for 1.3 Cr ye this one is not it. I think KIA is simply giving more options of its luxury models to get more attention and further cement its place in the market.

the reason why its not a value for money is not coz its 1.3cr, its because its real value in rest of the world is only half of that.

Best value for money only when it's sold between 40-50lakhs

That's the shittiest alloy I've seen on any vehicle.

The location, camera, editing, everything is just better in this video.

What is the battery replacement cost 😂😂😂😂

1cr is too much for a company like Kia.

The depreciation on this is gonna be insane

Why can’t we get world class equipment at respectable prices? Why the price gouging. What are Indian companies so afraid of

Yeh tune kya kia 🤦🏻‍♂️

That rear light is modified wagonr

I think Kia should talk to Nissan and understand what happened to their India version of X-trail😢

Rather buy a petrol bmw and have proper fun. 😂

They should have got the EV 3 first before this monster . The sales of the EV9 at this price is going to be very meager at this price point.

Vehicle for the ultra rich 💯💥

Doesn’t even cost 60 lakh in Canada. But in India more than 60-70 lakh from 1.3 crore goes to government in form of taxes. Then you pay again when run on the road for toll tax. Fuckin crazy in India.

i prefer luxury brand

spending 1.3 Cr and getting same steearing wheel as we get in 10lac kia its a joke

Ye tunhe kya KIA...😨😲🤯

Indian govt is really screwing us in terms of taxes

75% tax 30 years petrol amount😂, after 2 years car value 15 lakh😂😂😂

hahah ... good joke !!

It will work out cheaper to privately import a RHD EV9 with 15% import duty. LOL. Heavy discounts/price correction soon
Edit: Private imports attract 110% import duty.
Kia India pays 15% import duty and keeps the rest as additional income. Good luck anyone allowing (buying) this atrocity.
