Kia EV9 draws attention as a base camp for water play

This article describes an experience with Kia's electric SUV, the EV9, near Geojin Beach in Goseong, Gangwon Province, and at Donghae Beach. The vehicle was praised for its spacious interior and trunk, making it well suited for carrying water sports gear and serving as a place to rest. Thanks to the dedicated EV platform, the flat floor made it easy to load long items such as fins, and folding down the thirdrow seats expanded the cargo space even more. After enjoying water activities, it was also convenient for drying wet gear or changing clothes inside the car. Its driving performance was described as calm and stable. Features such as the wide field of view, the 220V interior outlet, air conditioning, and reclining seats also increased its usefulness as a vacation vehicle. However, road impacts, wind noise, and limited storage space were pointed out as drawbacks.
