The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 is set to redefine luxury in the electric vehicle market. Unlike its expected counterpart, the Kia EV9, the Ioniq 9 boasts a distinct and sophisticated interior, featuring high-end materials and advanced technology. One of its standout features is the NACS charge style port, allowing access to over 17,000 Tesla charging stations. Additionally, the Ioniq 9 includes Hyundai Pay and a phone-as-key system, enabling drivers to operate the car and share access via text. The innovative design includes a unique front bumper compartment, known as the cassette, which houses much of the vehicle's cutting-edge technology.

Inside, the Ioniq 9 offers a spacious and luxurious experience. The interior is adorned with leatherette made from recycled plastics, contributing to its sustainable design. The calligraphy edition—the top-tier model—features an ultra-suede headliner and elegant metal accents. The vehicle's design language, inspired by Hyundai's pixel design seen first in the Ioniq 5, incorporates the Morse code "H" as a unique Easter egg. Practical features include a sliding center console, numerous charge ports, and a single glass panel housing the touchscreen and driver display. With its combination of luxury, technology, and sustainability, the Hyundai Ioniq 9 is poised to make a significant impact in the EV market when it launches in Spring of 2025.

It might not be obvious to the average car buyer why Hyundai is staying the course with its EV strategy, but to the company, the mission is crystal clear: tapping the affinity of ‘early majority’ adopters. That’s where brands pull ahead in a race.

To get there, Hyundai rolled out its newest EV, the Ioniq 9, at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. The reception was stellar; the two models on display were among the most popular cars at the show with a constant line of people waiting to get a peek at this three-row, 7-passenger electric SUV.

The Kia EV9 provides inspiration for the Hyundai Ioniq 9, but also, points of distinction. The EV9 has led Kia’s EV sales, with about 18,000 sold so far, more than the EV6, and has attracted that ‘early majority’ buyer, which will be more important in the long run as the brands seek to develop lifetime customers.

And, it has proven the case for the shared powertrain and platform. Both are powered by a 110.3 kWh battery that delivers about 303 miles of range and has a fast-charging 800V system that can replenish up to 80% of the battery in 24 minutes at a DC fast charger.

The Hyundai Ioniq 9 will be offered in three versions: Long Range RWD generating 215 hp; Long Range AWD generating 303 hp; and Performance AWD generating 422 hp.
