Jim Loved the Kia EV9 GT

So yesterday was the BYD Atto 2 launch, which we were near Heathrow for that, weren't we? And that was a long day, like getting there and then...

the event and then getting home again and I actually edited the video when I got in because there's a lot going on at the

moment

so it's about a 16 hour day for me I think and then it was up early again for this one this is a brilliant day though this is um basically me and Alex are in the western group of motoring writers and kia have um hosted us for the day at this hotel they bought basically their entire fleet of cars along um or most of them yeah for us to take out and test and uh obviously we can make some content with them if if we get the opportunity and stuff weather was atrocious this morning pouring down the rain so i have made two videos but they're not my finest work i have to say um and i'm sort of all partied out now otherwise i'll go and reshoot i think yeah um and uh then tomorrow we've got the drive day for the western group haven't we

yeah that's all the brat like all the

lots of manufacturers turn up they'll all bring like a couple of three cars and um really good thing for us is that we can probably get to speak to some manufacturers who don't normally speak to us and probably don't respond to emails and stuff yeah um because obviously we can only make videos if we have a supply of cars but you have to find manufacturers that are happy with you being honest and sharing your true thoughts and not being prescriptive and stuff and um yeah for whatever reason not all manufacturers speak to us so yeah so good like really good opportunity tomorrow so uh early night tonight i think yeah if you're lucky

great i was feeling comfortable um yeah this morning i i wasn't even sure i could film a proper video because it was i think one of your thumbnails you can visibly see the rain yes i was just like i'm just gonna film the infotainment guide because they seem to do quite well and i just wasn't sure i could film anything yeah i've done one of them videos um Yeah, but yeah, they've got a lot of their...

Kia's really well known for their EVs, aren't they? Yes, they've got a lot of their EV stuff here, which pretty much all of it is

bang on.

They don't really put foot wrong today at the moment, especially on the EV side of things.

No.

I mean, I've driven this morning what I think might be my favourite Kia EV so far, and that's a reasonably high bar, based on what I've just said, which is the EV4.

I just think it's so well sorted.

Yeah.

You've driven that, haven't you? I went to the launch event, which was, I think, November time.

Yeah, I think it was when I was in America, I think, for

the SEMA show.

Oh, okay.

Which is why

I missed it.

I was thinking it was on holiday, but not in November.

Yeah.

Oh, it's good.

It's a good car.

I mean, the front end of it's quite sloped forward, so the visibility is really good.
