Overview

• The Ioniq 9 is Hyundai's first three-row electric SUV, built on the E-GMP platform and manufactured in Savannah, Georgia.
• Six trims are available, starting at $58,995 for the RWD Ioniq 9 S with 215 hp and up to 325 miles of range, and topping out at $76,490 for the AWD Performance Calligraphy Design with 442 hp and a 311-mile range.
• The SUV supports 350 kW DC fast charging, enabling a 10-80% charge in just 24 minutes, and offers an Eco mode that may achieve over 3 miles per kWh.
• Early reviews highlight its aerodynamic design, spacious interior, and smooth highway ride but note a firmer ride at low speeds and less refined production finishes compared to its concept model.
• Hyundai positions the Ioniq 9 between the Kia EV9 and premium electric SUVs like the Volvo EX90 and Mercedes EQS SUV, aiming to broaden EV accessibility in North America.
