To compete with the Tesla Model X, the Kia EV9 would need a few key features.

First and foremost, an impressive electric range is essential.

The Model X offers a range of around 350 miles, so the EV9 would need a similar or better range to attract buyers.

Fast charging capabilities would also be crucial, allowing for convenient and efficient charging on long journeys.

In terms of performance, the EV9 should strive for swift acceleration and responsive handling to rival the Model X's dynamic capabilities.
