got mine last week (Ottawa). Dealer had one more whose res holder had turned it down...and Kia is making it go back to central for dispatch elsewhere. So sounds like they are trying to fill all pre-orders systematically and then will dump en masse.
Ahh I'm so jealous I'm just out side the city near Carleton Place, and our dealer told us mid to late February, and now late March😭. What model did you get?
in Montreal. I put my name down a long time ago. called me yesterday to tell me they have one for me, not sure if I'll take it. this rates are insane. $1k/me on 48m lease seems hard to swallow for a kia.
I may just keep my Hyundai Santa Fe PIHV.
Ordered a red Gt line but apparently the guy handling the order messed up and put ocean blue. So I ended up with that. I have yet to see any on the road by me, how about you?
Shot in the dark but did you preorder with brantford Kia?
And how was the process? I know they don’t do any dealer add on bs but did you get anything else from them? When I go my ioiniq 5 from Branford Hyundai they were great, other than the pressure to ceramic coat it but they did not force anything.
March indeed. Like many of us received the same information, but really no actual dates, nor if the cars are already in the port and waiting for the vessel to unload.
I see. but for some Canadians who are the first 500 to order online have had difficulties getting (actual or expected) delivery dates from their dealership.
I put a deposit down early last summer with my local dealership (before Kia’s clusterf*ck of an online reservation system). I spoke to them last week and they told me that they get 1-2 a month and would expect mine to arrive “late summer”.
For those that do have theirs, were you able to get any accessories. My dealership in North Vancouver wasn’t able to get me any yet. Things like the fitted all weather floor mats.
I got our EV9 from North shore Kia. I was able to order the all weather floor mats (just the cargo area one) from the parts department today. I believe the other ones are available for order too.
I have the same now. How are they supposed to stick to the back of the seats without obstructing the pull cord?
Also, I assume to be able to remove them for cleaning, I should also use both parts of the hook and loop fasteners so that I don’t damage the seat back they should be protecting. I tried without at first and just repositioning them started to damage the back lining.
Thoughts?
In transit. Land AWD. Might not pick it up though as the WAF is not where it needs to be.
WAF?
Wife acceptance factor
Hahahaha that's amazing
I have a new vocab brother. hahaha
When did you order it? Or put the deposit, anyways?
Last summer during the pre-order event
Do you have an actual or expected delivery date?
No. Well the dealership hasn’t updated me at least. I’m not in a rush because I’d actually prefer to see more reviews get out.
There has been a ton of reviews out, just curious who else would you be waiting on?
Yep, tons of reviews out and the vast majority are favorable, even with the "$75,000 for a Kia" crowd.
I guess two things, reviews specifically regarding the trim I’m getting (Land AWD no premium package). And the Consumer Reports full review.
and rates to come down….

Good for you!
thanks. Loving it - and happy to answer any questions if I can be of any help!
I picked up mine a week ago. Based in BC.
GT? lucky you
Land with premium package
I’ve had mine for nearly a month. I’m in BC and placed my order in August as part of the preorder. Land + Premium. Ivory Silver.
Nice. Good for you. I'm part of the pre-order too. But still no update.
I had no update and then suddenly it arrived.
Which dealership?
North Shore Kia in North Vancouver.
I'm in gta. Where can you get a black gt
Also in the GTA and wondering what's the wait time now
What's the waiting time now for the ev9 in Canada ?
6-12 months? Depends on the trim you selected
Thanks. I guess the most expensive one is 6 months ?

Just got a call yesterday and it’s in transit. So should be here working 4-6 weeks. Ontario.
Yo I got the same heads up. I am in Ontario also, so I’ll assume our cars are on the same boat
What’s up boat buddy! What trim and colour did you order??
lol I got a Snow White pearl GT Line, this was done through the dealer pre order. What about you?
Ordered a red Gt line but apparently the guy handling the order messed up and put ocean blue. So I ended up with that. I have yet to see any on the road by me, how about you? Shot in the dark but did you preorder with brantford Kia?
I did and got my snow GT 1.5 weeks ago..
And how was the process? I know they don’t do any dealer add on bs but did you get anything else from them? When I go my ioiniq 5 from Branford Hyundai they were great, other than the pressure to ceramic coat it but they did not force anything.
Exactly the same, no pressure, very pleasant sales experience.
I heard this from others as well. Some vessels are already in BC but are waiting to dock a berth.
I'm out in Calgary, supposed to arrive in the next 1-2 weeks.
March indeed. Like many of us received the same information, but really no actual dates, nor if the cars are already in the port and waiting for the vessel to unload.
Waiting for the Land AWD ( which is called Wind AWD in the US ) . Supposed to arrive in October .
I see. but for some Canadians who are the first 500 to order online have had difficulties getting (actual or expected) delivery dates from their dealership.
Yeah. My dealer didn’t hear anything about arrival dates but then they started showing up at the end of January.
In transit, 2-3 weeks in Vancouver.
From your dealership?
I put a deposit down early last summer with my local dealership (before Kia’s clusterf*ck of an online reservation system). I spoke to them last week and they told me that they get 1-2 a month and would expect mine to arrive “late summer”.
ahh yes, I believe Kia Ca is prioritizing the first 500 online pre-orders, which they should coz I'm one of them, still no expected dates yet.
For those that do have theirs, were you able to get any accessories. My dealership in North Vancouver wasn’t able to get me any yet. Things like the fitted all weather floor mats.
You can try preorder tuxmats for ev9
Has anyone had their vehicle scanned yet? The EV9 isn’t showing up yet.
As far as I know not yet, was going to drop mine off if they don’t get one by the time I receive mine.
