Описание: Is the Kia EV9 GT-Line the Ultimate Road Trip EV? | La Union PRU Test Drive

Can the Kia EV9 GT-Line handle a long-distance road trip to La Union? In this episode of TeamDY TV, we’re taking Kia’s flagship electric SUV on a 500km+ adventure to test its real-world range, charging convenience, and that ₱5.9M premium experience.

As part of our PRU (Practical Relatable Use) series, we’re not just talking specs—we’re showing you how it actually fits into the Filipino lifestyle. From the Amihan Swell Season in San Juan to finding free EV charging at our villa, this is the most honest review of the EV9 in the Philippines.

📍 In this video, we explore:
