Electrifying Range and Lightning-Fast Charging
The IONIQ 9 makes the transition to an EV seamless since it offers an impressive EPA-estimated range of up to 335 miles.1 That’s road trip-ready mileage. Then when it’s time to recharge, Hyundai’s ultra-fast 800V architecture gets you from 10% to 80% in about 24 minutes using a DC ultra-fast charger.
This gives you just enough time to grab a coffee and hit the road again. Whether you’re commuting to work or heading out for a weekend adventure, the IONIQ 9 keeps you moving with confidence. The IONIQ 9 delivers on performance too.
Depending on the configuration you choose, you can enjoy from 215 to 422 horsepower. Plus, with a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, you’re not giving up utility to go electric. Whether you’re pulling a boat to the coast or loading up bikes for a Blue Ridge trip, the IONIQ 9 is ready to roll.
A Cabin That Feels Like a First-Class Lounge
Step inside the IONIQ 9 and you’ll wonder if you accidentally climbed into a luxury spa on wheels. With available Relaxation Seats in the front and second rows, complete with full reclining capability, the IONIQ 9 doesn’t just transport you — it pampers you.
Need more space? You’ve got it. The IONIQ 9 offers seating for six or seven with plenty of legroom throughout and a fully flat floor. Behind the third row, you’ll find 21.9 cubic feet of cargo space, and with all rear seats folded, it opens up to 86.9 cubic feet. Whether it’s gear, groceries, or luggage, there’s room for it all.
Seriously Smart Tech, Front and Center
The tech in the IONIQ 9 might look cool, but it also makes life on the road easier. A curved panoramic display sweeps across the dash, housing a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a 12.3-inch integrated monitor in one seamless piece. It’s clear, customizable, and easy to use.
You’ll also find an AI-powered voice assistant that responds to natural commands, along with over-the-air software updates that keep your vehicle fresh without a trip to the service center. And thanks to Hyundai Digital Key 2, your smartphone becomes your key fob — share access with family or friends without ever handing over the keys.
Driver-First Safety at Every Turn
In the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9, advanced driver-assistance features are ready to make every trip more secure and confident. Here are some of those key safety features:
- Highway Driving Assist 2 is a system that helps you maintain a safe distance, stay centered in your lane, and even change lanes with the tap of a turn signal.
- Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 is your built-in parking valet. This feature lets you park your IONIQ 9 from tight spots using just your key fob or smartphone.
- Evasive Steering Assist is like an extra set of reflexes. If the IONIQ 9 detects a potential collision and there’s a safe path around the obstacle, it can provide gentle steering input to help you avoid impact.
With these intelligent systems working quietly in the background, the IONIQ 9 helps protect what matters most, mile after mile.
