Kia EV9 - Light Off-Road Desert Adventure!

The EV9 boasts dimensions that make it ideal for leisurely open-road cruising on paved surfaces and well-maintained dirt tracks. However, when you drive a large vehicle, the turning circle increases, posing challenges when navigating highly technical off-road routes. Additionally, the ground clearance is somewhat limited, which could impact its performance in certain off-road scenarios.

Despite these considerations, the EV9 shines in sand mode, where its drive mode excels, demonstrating commendable performance and handling. This feature enhances the vehicle's capability in sandy terrains, adding to its versatility for a variety of driving conditions.

Just don't take it too far!

The Kia EV9 comes with three different Terrain Modes. Depending on the road conditions, when the driver selects the appropriate mode, the system detects four laps of slip and then optimizes driving and braking power. Depending on the active mode, Terrain Mode Select regulates the torque and transmits the power per wheel selectively. The Traction Control System (TCS) reacts to spinning wheels with braking interventions.

In this video, the Sand Mode differentiates torque control and driving force distribution to avoid
the risk of the vehicle getting bogged down

While Starting, it uses 70% or less of the driving force at 10km/h or less and gently transmits the torque of the motors to the four wheels to prevent it from spinning

While driving Driving, the mode maximizes driving force and minimizes braking control at 10km/h or higher to prevent the car from stopping due to sand resistance.

There is no "lock" mode.
