Kia EV9 GT vs Volvo EX90 Twin Motor: which posh, fast, seven-seat SUV is best?

Kia’s EV9 GT and Volvo’s EX90 Twin Motor both pitch themselves as premium, seven-seat electric SUVs—but they deliver the performance brief in very different ways. The EV9 GT adds multiple drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport) plus a “GT” mode accessed via a yellow steering-wheel button, sharpening responses and loosening stability and traction control. That makes it exceptionally fast, with launch control for a sub–5-second 0–62 mph sprint, yet its 2.7-tonne-plus mass can feel like it “battles big forces” in corners. Pricing with a six-month deposit and three-year PCP is about £1,100 for the EV9 GT and £1,200 for the EX90, assuming 10k miles annually.
