We looked at one when Mr TP was considered changing the X6. We really liked it but too big for just us two.

I remember when people used to buy those poo brown Mercedes 190Es back in the day, but I look at them now and think, hmmmmm.....that colour is kinda cool Maybe these modern ugly cars will grow on us.

For that money I'd rather have the Ioniq 5 N if exploring far eastern options.
I like what they’ve done with the 5N but really it’s not in the same size class as the EV9.

We need 7 seats in our next car, and this is a definite contender. How did you find it?

Test drive next Thursday. I fear that utility aside the driver involvement and joy that ix does provide to a good extent (ipace too I'd imagine)may be missing. I'll keep us posted.

Looks great as a package, would have one in a flash. Not test driving one as I don’t want another car change.

If you think Kia Souls look nondescript, probably been staring too long at the bucktoothed iX KRS_SN

The price, like pretty much all Kias, is a bargain as said.

Box on wheels v buck tooth. Devil or the deep sea perhaps the polarity keeps sales on each side alive.

You think a Soul is nondescript ?

If you want a nondescript reference point just use the Tesla Model 3 or Model Y. Could there be anything less characterful or interesting about those body shapes ? They are literally devoid of design.

I’ve seen one regularly round my neck of the woods and it has grown on me. Looks much better in the darker colours.

The ioniq 9 looks interesting too..maybe waiting till its out would be a good ploy.
