Kia EV9: The family SUV goes electric
The Car Connection's expert editors chose the Kia EV9 from a competitive field of nominees. Contenders were new or fully redesigned models that achieved top scores in The Car Connection's unique "TCC Rating" system.
The 10-point TCC Rating reflects scores given to each vehicle across six categories: safety, comfort and utility, fuel economy, performance, technology, and styling.
"The Kia EV9 does so much so well, from its electric-car efficiency to its digital interfaces," said Marty Padgett, Editorial Director of The Car Connection, Motor Authority, and Green Car Reports. "If it looks like the future of family vehicles, that's because it is."
Chevrolet Corvette Z06: A track rock star
Performance and luxury brand Motor Authority named the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 as its Best Performance/Luxury Car To Buy 2024. Editors selected the winner from new or redesigned luxury/performance vehicles made available for testing. The winner was judged to have the strongest appeal to enthusiasts with acceleration, handling, styling, and features—as well as value—with no price limit.
"Chevy's latest Corvette has transformed it into a world-beating supercar," Padgett said. "The Z06 slays some hyper-expensive exotic cars on the track for a half or even a third of the price."
Kia EV9: A feature-rich electric SUV
Green Car Reports, a research and news destination for electric, hybrid, and fuel-efficient cars, named the Kia EV9 as its Best Green Car To Buy 2024. Editors chose the most significant new vehicle made widely available to shoppers during the 2024 model year, taking into account new technologies, practicality, and impact on the environment.
"The EV9 fits families well," Padgett said. "But with its ability to serve as energy storage for the home and for the grid, it's a cutting-edge technology leader, too."
