The 2024 Kia EV9 is one of this year's greats. But it begs the question: What took so long? SUVs are the family vehicle of choice, at least so far this century, while EVs represent the technology of choice for a growing subset of the American public. Yet up until now, with the arrival of the 2024 Kia EV9, there hasn’t been a non-luxury.
