Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia EV9 than in the Land Rover Discovery. The Kia EV9 will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Discovery.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Kia EV9 or the Land Rover Discovery, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Kia EV9 is a little narrower than the Land Rover Discovery, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. When looking at overall length, the Kia EV9 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Land Rover Discovery.

Handling
The Kia EV9 has the same turning radius as the Land Rover Discovery, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Land Rover Discovery is clearly the choice over the Kia EV9 for pulling heavy loads. The Kia EV9 has a little more horsepower than the Land Rover Discovery.

Powertrain
The Kia EV9 has much lower torque than the Land Rover Discovery, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Kia EV9 and the Land Rover Discovery. The Kia EV9 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Land Rover Discovery.
