I don't know the German market, but I've been really happy with the Kia EV9 for the two years I've owned it. Has 3 rows and gets 2.1-ish mi/kWh in snowy winter and about 3ish during the summer. Overall mi/kWh for the two years has been about 2.8 mostly city driving with some highway and occasional road trips

Is the kia also prone to the same iccu issues as the hyundais?

I haven't had this issue with the EV9 but I've heard of it
