I know Kia and Hyundai are the same company. Does the EV9 have a bench second row? Or captain seats? Or both depending on trim level? Having captain seats is super important here

Same as Hyundai, the captain seat option only opens up at higher trim levels for reasons that are completely inexplicable. This one also isn't eligible for the soon expiring EV tax credit. So ultimately too expensive for what it is

It looks like at least some of the trims have second row captains chairs. LeaseHackr is a great resource for advice and reports of deals. There are also listings and reviews for reputable brokers in your area. FWIW I used a broker and had a great experience but you can do it on your own too.
