What Features are in the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9?

Powertrain and Performance

Using the Hyundai E-GMP platform, the IONIQ 9 offers dual-motor all-wheel drive, producing up to 422 horsepower. Not only can you accelerate from zero to 60 in under five seconds, but its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) system is able to charge and power external devices.

Range and Charging

This SUV has an EPA-estimated range of 335 miles on a single charge, allowing you to really go the distance before needing to “refuel”. Its battery also utilizes ultra-fast 800-volt DC charging, getting as much as an 80% charge in 24 minutes at a kW station. It’s also NACS-compatible, so you can receive seamless charging at Tesla Supercharger stations.

Design and Interior

Its bold, futuristic styling is certain to turn heads as you drive by. There’s also plenty of room on the interior, with a spacious cabin capable of seating up to seven passengers, including second-row captain’s chairs, alongside 100 cubic feet of cargo space. Other premium features include:

  • Napp leather options
  • A panoramic sunroof
  • Dual 12.3-inch displays
  • Ambient lighting
  • Seven USB-C ports (100W capable)

Trims and Pricing

The base IONIQ 9 SE trim starts pricing at an estimated $55,000, getting up to $75,000 for the higher level trim levels. Early units are appearing at other dealerships, primarily in California and Texas, but you can expect this vehicle to be readily available on the market in mid-2026.

Why is the IONIQ 9 a Game Changer?

This SUV is the perfect vehicle for family-friendly excursions, while also being a premium model that can stand up to other high-end electric cars like the Rivian R1S and Cadillac Escalade IQ, and at a lower price. With zero emissions and advanced driver awareness systems, you can benefit from real peace of mind while on the road.
