It’s a new super-imposing 7-seater from South Korea, and Mat’s about to find out if it can compete with class-leading all-electric SUVs like the Tesla Model X and BMW iX! For starters, just check out that design! The EV9 is oh-so imposing, with a chunky, squared-off design stretching from the front to the rear. We love the blocky wheel arches and the new alloy designs – they’re definitely giving this car a real cyberpunk feel. The headlights & taillights also look great, and we love the black window surrounds & matching roof bars. The blue paint just tops it off, too! Step inside and the EV9’s cabin is well laid out. There’s a big infotainment & digital dial screen, and thankfully there are several physical and haptic feedback buttons. Interior quality is ok, but if you reach down a bit low you can expect to find some scratchy plastics! Thankfully though we don’t mind as there’s loads of interior storage, and there’s even the option to go for a six-seat set-up in the back. When it comes to batteries and motors, the entry-level EV9 come with a single electric motor that can produce 203hp. The GT Line edition that we have here comes with dual electric motors and the ability to put down 385hp. Both cars come with a 100kWh battery, and while the entry-level has a range of 350 miles, the GT Line can only manage 315. So it all sounds great, but all this quality doesn’t come cheap! The EV9 starts from £65,000, rising up to £77,000 for the range-topper! So would you consider spending this much on a Kia? Stick with Mat to see if you should! Chapters

We’ve got Mat in the 296 GTB, and he’s facing off against an SF90 and an 812 Superfast! So let’s see how these magnificent machines compare. Starting with the 296, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 as well as an electric motor. Combined they can produce 830hp and 740Nm of torque, and this power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. It tips the scales at 1,470kg, and if you’re looking to buy one it’ll set you back £242,000. Alongside it we have the SF90. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 coupled with three electric motors, and they work together to deliver 1,000hp and 800Nm! It weighs in at just 1,570kg, and the power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. If you’re looking to buy one, it’ll cost you no less than £376,000! Then finally we have the 812 Superfast. It’s powered by a ferocious 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12, and this can put down 800hp and 718Nm of torque! This power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,525kg. So will it be a walkover for the SF90? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
