Lease in seattle is over 900/mth
Sad that Nissan was not able to revamp themselves like Kia and Hyundai are doing.
100% donβt agree. If you love it, buy it and run it for 10 years or more. Iβm still in my 1998 Jeep XJ purchased second hand in β99 and it meets all my around town needs like it did 25 years ago. Love the seat position, the utility, the simplicity.
Model X is better.
I have an Equinox and I think you're crazy for thinking interior is better in kia. They have some nice features like cam for signal but overall quality of materials with the exception of seats go to Chevy and it costs 35% less lol. Kia is nice but c'mon
Is it only me that feels like people on this channel comment sections are kinda ignorant and mean?
How do manufacturers reduce head toss? Besides us pushing against the head rest?
Tried to lease one of these from 4 different dealers. All 4 had hidden BS fees that forced me to walk away. Once again unscrupulous dealers ruin what is a great business plan from Kia/Hyundai USA.
So..here's the thing, I'm sure these are great cars, but in a two income household buying even a $35k vehicle at today's interest rates is out of the question. We're driving whatever we bought prepandemonium and we're gonna be finding ways to keep them running for 10,12,15 years… Not by choice… Just from being proved out. $75k for a soccer mom/dad mobile? $55k!!!? Keep it, I've spent more time writing this rant than I did watching the review, the only thing more depressing than the price points of new cars is my existing bank balance. Inflation doubled cost of living in Canada, wtf is buying $75k cars still??? Offshore money banks?
Can't wait for the smaller EV3
We got an EV9 Land 2 months ago and its fantastic. No problems with head toss/ride quality on the Land trim with a fatter tire than the GT Line. Got a great lease then, seems like the deals have gotten even better since August.
Aesthetics are a perfect blend of sporty, boxy, classy, and future all in one. I think they hit it just right ππΌ
@ 14:27 Jack has that Popeye/ Master Baiter forearm from the league of Titans.
This thing catches fire when bumper hit at back seen 2 in last 2 months on us 60
Very hard to believe is longer than a telluride because it looks so small in person.
I donβt understand your hype for Lucid as if itβs the peak of automotive engineering. Anyway, if this Kia is only good because itβs a throwaway 2-year lease, no amount of door buttons or cornering grip is going to redeem it
I just canβt get behind a Kia. A genesis maybe but not a Kia. Or Hyundai.
Just started leasing one of these a few weeks ago. We absolutely love it. Did the two year lease, got 21,000 off MSRP, no money down. You nailed the review, everything you said was spot on. Previous car was a Model Y, we do not miss it at all.
It's $5k USD and $400 USD per month AND you have to do mandatory maintenance out of your pocket (quite expensive and you can't skip it) AND insurance is 50% higher than on comparable gas twin: Telluride. AND turns out if you read fine print taxes are not included in those $400 and $5k USD down. So for Canadian perspective that's $6500 down and $520 per month NOT including taxes, insurance, maintenance AND that is AWD Land trim, not the top trim. AND you are limited by 10k miles per year. AND you'll pay wear and tear lease return fee (can get expensive). ALL IN for 36 months lease WITH taxes and fees and insurance – you are looking at $40k CAD to throw out and own nothing in 3 years. Is it worth it? Probably not. For that money you can BUY 1 year old Telluride with low miles and it will be yours paid off for many more years to come. But to each its own. Oh did I mention in winter highway range drops to mere 140 miles? Good luck on any road trip, you'll need it. I'd also not park it inside garage to not burn down your house and your family while you sleep.
Whereβs the rivian review? Donβt they manufacture in Illinois?
The Model X is 7 years old…
Mark, I have complaintsβ¦.you wonβt return my calls. I thought I meant more to you.
I wish he spoke about (and showed) the 3rd row!
Send them to Canada….! 9 months waiting period here….. We DO like junk πππ
Cheap leases means wait 2 or 3 years and buy one for next to nothing.
I donβt know whether this was a deliberate marketing experiment, or it just happened naturally.
The experiment proved that building an EV with INTERNAL space approaching that of a typical family minivan, and leasing it out with $20K discount off traditionally estimated MSRP, in a US state producing a surplus of cheap electricity, are the secrets to selling as many of them as you can make.
This is interesting, isnβt it? In Europe, there is much higher use of EVs in Norway, than, say, in Spain. Norway has very sizable government subsidies for EVs, going back for almost two decades now, and a surplus of relatively cheap electricity.
So, maybe the image of California as the ideal EV destination is just wrong? State support for EVs is pretty weak compared to Colorado, electricity prices are about 2x of those in Colorado, and as a result EVs are just not as great value proposition in California as they are in Colorado.
Man, you didn't put vehicle on the scale βοΈ
Please, don't forget it next time, it's interesting detail π
Just make it look normal and not like an electric car. Looks like ass.
Cool cut to final thoughts. Lease makes me nervous with kids who destroy all
Nice looking. It's hard to get EVs to look right without grilles.
Incredible film good sirs
Seems like a decent vehicle, but⦠how is a disposable product being sold below cost good for the environment or the manufacturer?
Great car… but honestly just get awd minivan. These three rows barely have any space if you need to use three rows.

Looks so good
We recently leased a Land trim with $0 down and $630 per month for 24 months. We love it! Just got out of a 2019 Subaru Ascent that we bought brand new and had tons of issues with it. This is our first Kia and we absolutely love it. Great family car for my wife and our 2 kids. It's also hilarious how fast it is for how big it is too.
For a new car it has so many buttons lol. Very old school
As someone currently surviving the aftermath of Hurricane Helene with my Ioniq 5 keeping my fridge cold, my devices charged and allowing me to cook (including easily reheating things in the microwave), I think you missed a big benefit of eGMP – Vehicle to Load. So for a $300-ish lease not only do you get a great car, but you get a battery backup for your house. After going through this experience I will never NOT own a vehicle that can do this, and I'm already contemplating leasing an EV9 in addition to the I5. Great video as usual!
Kia threw in lifetime oil changes after the 15,000 markup. Winning!
Sooo cheap they'll deny you a warranty when a Twig pierces the thin ass battery panel, and or autocombust while charging, PASSS
Great lease prices if you can lease this for $300 for 3-4yrs. And if you can charge at home and have a family.
does it have fire suppression?
