The Ioniq 9 preserves the concept's notable design elements, including the rounded bonnet and bubble-like front. A taller light bar and pixel-style LEDs highlight Hyundai's distinctive flair. Its silhouette blends boxy dimensions with a gracefully curving roof, leading to an LED-encircled rear reminiscent of Volvo's aesthetics.
Available in six or seven-seat configurations, the Ioniq 9's "relaxation seats" offer full reclining with leg rests for ultimate passenger comfort. In the six-seat model, the second row can swivel, perfect for social situations when parked.
With 620 liters of boot space with all seven seats up, it surpasses rivals like the Kia EV9 and Volvo EX90. Folding the third row expands storage to an impressive 1,323 liters.
The cabin features dual 12.0-inch displays for infotainment and driving data, alongside wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 14-speaker premium system is an option for music enthusiasts.
Luxury meets eco-friendliness with interior materials made from recycled plastics and paints derived from used tires.
Powered by a 110kWh battery, the Ioniq 9 offers a 385-mile range, surpassing competitors. Supporting 350kW DC charging, it can achieve a 10-80% charge in just 24 minutes. Versatile in power, it ranges from a 218hp rear-wheel base model to a 400hp dual-motor Performance version.
The Ioniq 9 will launch in Korea and the United States in early 2025, reaching the UK and Europe later that year. While pricing is yet to be announced, expect figures similar to the Kia EV9, likely around £65,000.
The Hyundai Ioniq 9 combines visionary design, practical space, and cutting-edge technology. With its competitive range and innovative features, it represents a significant stride in the electric SUV market. Get ready for its arrival in 2025!
