Hyundai Motor Company is set to make waves in the electric vehicle (EV) market with the highly anticipated launch of the IONIQ 9, a premium three-row electric SUV. Scheduled for release in the U.S. and other global markets, the IONIQ 9 builds upon the legacy of its award-winning predecessors, the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6, while introducing groundbreaking innovations in comfort, efficiency, and performance.
Design & Comfort: A New Standard in Luxury
The IONIQ 9 features a sleek and sophisticated design, coupled with a high-quality, spacious cabin that prioritizes comfort and versatility. Its lounge-like interior, enhanced by a panoramic sunroof, offers an airy atmosphere, while flexible seating arrangements accommodate up to seven passengers. Hyundai’s Dynamic Body Care system and relaxation seats provide enhanced comfort, making long journeys more enjoyable.
For added convenience, the second-row Swiveling Seats allow passengers to face each other when parked, transforming the SUV into a social space. Additionally, the sliding Universal Island 2.0 console maximizes accessibility and storage efficiency.
Efficiency & Range: Long-Distance Travel Without Compromise
The IONIQ 9 is equipped with a 110.3 kWh battery, delivering an estimated range of up to 620 km (WLTP). It supports ultra-fast charging, reaching 80% capacity in just 24 minutes using a 350 kW charger. Hyundai’s advanced HVAC system ensures optimal energy efficiency, even in extreme weather conditions, by utilizing a heat pump to recycle waste heat and maintain a stable cabin temperature.
Performance & Technology: Power Meets Innovation
The IONIQ 9 offers three motor configurations, with the Performance AWD variant achieving 0-100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds. The SUV’s aerodynamic efficiency is enhanced by a new dual-motion Active Air Flap (AAF) system, which reduces drag to an impressive 0.259 Cd.
Inside the vehicle, Hyundai has prioritized technological advancements. The IONIQ 9 features an advanced AI assistant, EV Route Planner, and remote smart parking capabilities. A premium 14-speaker BOSE sound system, noise-reducing acoustic glass, and ANC-R active noise cancellation ensure a quiet and immersive driving experience.
Safety & Smart Driving Assistance
Hyundai has integrated cutting-edge safety features, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA), and more. The Intelligent Front-Lighting System (IFS) enhances nighttime visibility, while the Digital Key and wireless over-the-air (OTA) updates ensure continuous access to the latest features.
Redefining EV Luxury & Convenience
With its spacious, high-tech, and energy-efficient design, the IONIQ 9 is more than just an EV—it is a revolutionary step forward in automotive innovation. Hyundai’s commitment to sustainable mobility is evident in its goal to launch 21 EV models by 2030, with the IONIQ 9 leading the charge.
As Hyundai prepares for its global rollout, the IONIQ 9 is poised to set a new benchmark for electric SUVs, offering a seamless blend of luxury, performance, and sustainability.
