IONIQ 9
As Hyundai’s first three-row all-electric crossover, the Ioniq 9 caused a pleasant stir with its introduction. It has broadened the brand’s EV line with a third diverse choice alongside the smaller Ioniq 5 crossover and the stylish and powerful Ioniq 6 sedan. Like its two predecessors, the Ioniq 9 shows off ultra-modern exterior designs with vertically oriented headlights, Hyundai’s signature Parametric Pixel lamps, and sculpted body lines. Every trim can exceed 300 miles of range on a complete charge.
Depending on the layout of the second row (two captain’s chairs or a three-person bench seat), it will accommodate either six or seven passengers. Since it’s an EV, the floor is flat, enabling easy movement between the rows. Hyundai has made exceptional comfort a priority, with first- and second-row Relaxation Seats that recline and have leg rests. The sliding Universal Island 2.0 console in the higher trims can move as much as to 7.5 inches so that both the first- and second-row occupants can use it.
