Nice review of this trim of the EV9. Most dealerships only have the GT-Line available, so it’s hard to see what the Land Trim looks like.

[@livewirereview]

We were happy to get this trim because what you get for the price is fantastic!

[@andrebatson3228]

@@livewirereview do you have any at your dealership?

[@livewirereview]

@@andrebatson3228 no just a couple of Ioniq 5.

[@gerardomolina1048]

Its great that you showed what’s underneath the EV9
But I don’t think there is a place for the spare tire

[@livewirereview]

@gerardomolina1048 I would have to agree. They come with a compressor and slime nowadays, which I got to experience last week with the GV60!

[@cdbuiles]

keep them coming guys. you both are doing great. I wouldnt complain if you mentioned in the next one, when the seats fold flat if they dont leave a hump, and so someone wanting to take this for camping or a long trip, can setup a bed confortable and if so, is there a "camp" or "dog" mode available on this vehicle ? for the vents, I dont know in the winter. the heat rises' heat does not drop; so I am thinking it wont be comfy in the rear seats. Another remark is that you said V2L adapter puts out 3.6kW; how come? 120V*15A===> 1.8kW.....how about ground clearance?

[@livewirereview]

Excellent suggestions! The V2L puts out 3.6kw total. So each 15a outlet can run at the full 1800w at the same time. You could run a toaster inside and a coffee maker outside on the adapter. The ground clearance isn't fabulous at 7 inches. It looks like more. Also, the seats fold mostly flat but not perfect. I've always said the same thing about heat. Why do shops put heaters on the ceiling with no fan? Heat rises...

Should do Chevy Blazer ev next

[@livewirereview]

As far as I know, we have it August 19th. I will have to confirm, though. What questions do you have when we do get it?

[@ericswenson322]

Would like to see a review or comments on the Wind version..AWD and big battery..what are the differences from the one you reviewed?

[@livewirereview]

@ericswenson322 this is the Wind in the USA from my understanding. The only difference may be the options inside. The rest of the vehicle is the same.

[@ericswenson322]

@@livewirereview I must have mist the word Wind...

[@livewirereview]

@ericswenson322 we're in Canada and this is the Land. When I looked up pricing on the US website, the packages and pricing structure was different.

[@gerardomolina1048]

What do you mean by fob on and off
We ordered the same trim of EV9 AWD land and hopefully we do get it in six months

[@livewirereview]

@gerardomolina1048 FoD stands for Feature on Demand. If you pay extra, then you can have the extra power unlocked via software.

[@Tarick-mg6ir]

I hear lots of wind noise, is it noisy ?

[@livewirereview]

@@Tarick-mg6ir nope. Double pane glass and great sealing in the doors.
