Hyundai IONIQ 9: Hyundai’s Largest Electric SUV Yet

The Hyundai IONIQ 9 expands Hyundai’s electric vehicle lineup as a large, three-row electric SUV designed for families and long-distance travel. Built on Hyundai’s E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform), the IONIQ 9 delivers impressive interior space, advanced technology, and efficient electric performance.

Built on Hyundai’s Advanced E-GMP Electric Platform

The Hyundai IONIQ 9 is expected to utilize Hyundai’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the same architecture used in vehicles like the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6. This platform is specifically engineered for electric vehicles and offers several key advantages.

800-Volt Ultra-Fast Charging

The E-GMP platform supports 800-volt charging capability, allowing drivers to charge from 10% to 80% in around 20–30 minutes when using compatible DC fast chargers.

Long Wheelbase for Interior Space

Because the battery pack is mounted under the floor, the platform creates a long wheelbase and flat floor, which increases legroom for passengers in all three rows.

Improved Driving Dynamics

The low battery placement helps lower the center of gravity, improving handling, stability, and ride comfort.

Three Rows of Flexible Interior Space

One of the most exciting aspects of the Hyundai IONIQ 9 is its three-row seating configuration, making it one of Hyundai’s most spacious electric vehicles.

Seating for Up to Seven Passengers

The IONIQ 9 is designed to comfortably accommodate six or seven passengers, depending on whether second-row captain’s chairs or a bench seat is selected.

Lounge-Inspired Cabin Layout

Hyundai has focused on creating a lounge-like interior, with a minimalist dashboard, ambient lighting, and sustainable materials throughout the cabin.

Large Cargo Capacity

With the third row folded, the IONIQ 9 offers expanded cargo space, making it ideal for road trips, sports equipment, or everyday errands.

Advanced Technology and Infotainment

Hyundai continues to prioritize technology in its electric vehicles, and the IONIQ 9 is expected to include an extensive list of connected features.

Dual Panoramic Displays

The interior will likely feature large connected displays that combine the digital gauge cluster and infotainment system for a seamless, modern interface.

Over-the-Air Software Updates

Drivers will be able to receive OTA (over-the-air) updates, allowing Hyundai to improve software, navigation, and vehicle systems without visiting a dealership.

Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™

Smartphone integration allows drivers to access navigation, music, and apps directly through the infotainment system.

Hyundai SmartSense Safety Technology

Safety remains a major focus for Hyundai, and the IONIQ 9 will likely include the Hyundai SmartSense suite of advanced driver assistance features.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

This system helps detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists ahead and can apply braking if a potential collision is detected.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist

Sensors monitor adjacent lanes and warn drivers of vehicles in their blind spots.

Highway Driving Assist

Highway Driving Assist combines adaptive cruise control and lane-centering technology to make long highway drives easier and less stressful.

Electric Performance and Driving Range

The Hyundai IONIQ 9 is expected to deliver strong electric performance combined with impressive efficiency.

Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive

Some trims are expected to feature dual electric motors, providing all-wheel drive capability and enhanced traction.

Instant Electric Torque

Like most EVs, the IONIQ 9 delivers instant torque, allowing for smooth and responsive acceleration.

Competitive Driving Range

While final EPA estimates may vary, the IONIQ 9 is expected to offer a range of around 300 miles or more, depending on configuration.
