Solid review my friend! I own this exact model and don't regret the decision one bit! I'm loving not having to full up at the gas station.

800v is class. Real nominal voltage is 550 odd.. list of features are good, but the real value is how they work in the real world.

The towing capacity is 5.500lb or 2.500kg in the AWD drive versions. In the RWD version it is 2.600lb or 1.200kg.

Nice, but wayyyy too expensive. Both upfront and for what's sure to be a very high depreciation rate

is it me or does the lift gate open slow af?
@JMSipe-yu3up

You can open it faster by doing so manually. The reason there's a delay is to confirm that the owner actually wants to open the liftgate and to avoid a mistaken interpretation. The automatic liftgate feature can also be turned off completely via the infotainment cluster.

I love this car so much for my senior dogs, but Kia and Hyundai are not known for reliability, so I’m worried about long term reliability

My experience is that Kia cars are super reliable, on the level of Toyota, indeed. And If that isn't enough, you have up to 10 years of Kia warranty, a lot longer than most other brands.

@@hamsterbrigade We have three kids. We go out of town a lot. There is no way this EV KIa which at 80% in good weather at best has range of 250 miles (80%) will do. And charging infrastructure is lacking and then who wants to wait 30-40 minutes with kids even two hours for recharge. This is not practical. Add to that Pilot retains excellent resale value and it is a no brainer. We are going to keep the Pilot for 200,000 miles and ten years. This Kia will be trash in three years and unusable.

@paulm6481 it's not that bad on the road, it feels like a limo, quiet and fast, I love it, charge time is not bad man, it charges fast, went from Dallas to El Dorado Arkansas, made 2 stops 1 stop to eat and it charged to 90%, 2nd stop was 10 minutes, but you're right about the infrastructure, it's hit or miss.

Is 250 miles bad in one single charge ? With kids how long do you want to spend behind the wheels in a single stretch ? Brother your breaks will take longer than the charging that's what I had in our long drives.
