IONIQ 9
As Hyundai’s eagerly anticipated three-row all-electric crossover, the 2026 Ioniq 9 presents a higher-capacity EV choice beyond the compact Ioniq 5 crossover and Ioniq 6 sedan. Manufactured at Hyundai’s new Metaplant America facility in Georgia, the Ioniq 9 offers superior range and significant pep (as quick as 4.9 seconds for a zero-to-60 mph sprint) along with available luxury features including deluxe seats, fingerprint access, and self-parking technology.
Built on Hyundai’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the Ioniq 9 features an aerodynamic design with a low drag coefficient for optimal efficiency. The vehicle’s 123.2-inch wheelbase – the longest of any Hyundai U.S. model – creates substantial interior space for passengers across all three rows, with room for their belongings. The ultra-modern exterior shows off vertically oriented headlights, sculpted body panels, and Parametric Pixel lamps that have become a design signature of the Ioniq line.
