The Universal Island 2.0 sliding console adds convenience, while the cargo space impresses with up to 1,323 liters of capacity with the rear seats folded.
Sleek ‘Aerosthetic’ Design
The IONIQ 9’s futuristic design features a smooth curved roofline and Hyundai’s signature Parametric Pixel lighting. A low drag coefficient of 0.259 Cd and aerodynamic enhancements contribute to an estimated WLTP range of 620 km for the Long-Range RWD model with 19-inch wheels.
The SUV also introduces a minimalist approach by integrating the roof antenna into the windshield and tailgate glass. Exterior choices include 16 colors, with new hues like Celadon Gray and Cosmic Blue Pearl.

Innovative technologies, such as an EV Route Planner and Hyundai AI Assistant, enhance the driving experience. Hyundai’s V2L feature and over-the-air updates ensure the SUV remains future-ready.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance
IONIQ 9 is equipped with Hyundai’s latest Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including collision prevention, torque vectoring, and lateral wind stability control. Enhanced structural safety ensures battery protection, while noise and vibration reduction features create a serene cabin environment.
