As Hyundai gears up for the launch of its highly anticipated three-row electric SUV, here’s a comprehensive look at what we know about the IONIQ 9. Scheduled to make its debut before the end of 2024, this new addition to Hyundai’s electric lineup is generating considerable buzz. Let’s break down the key details.

Name and Design

The name of Hyundai’s upcoming SUV remains under wraps, with “IONIQ 7” and “IONIQ 9” both being strong contenders. Initially introduced as the Seven concept at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, the vehicle has evolved significantly since then. While the concept featured striking design elements such as suicide doors and a sweeping roofline, the production model will adopt a more conventional look. Expect to see  a slightly less dramatic design compared to its concept counterpart.

Platform and Powertrain

The IONIQ 9 (or IONIQ 7) will be built on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, the same architecture that underpins the Kia EV9. This platform is known for its flexibility and efficiency, offering substantial cabin space and fast charging capabilities. The SUV is expected to feature both single-motor and dual-motor configurations, with dual-motor all-wheel drive likely being the high-performance option.

Powertrain specifics are yet to be confirmed, but if the IONIQ 9 mirrors the Kia EV9, it will come with options including a 76.1-kWh or a 99.8-kWh battery. The larger battery will likely support a range of over 300 miles and will enable rapid charging in under 20 minutes. The EV9, for reference, achieves up to 379 horsepower with its top battery option.

Interior and Features

Inside, the IONIQ 9 is anticipated to offer a spacious and tech-forward cabin, with a layout that could rival full-size SUVs despite its midsize exterior dimensions. Hyundai’s commitment to electric vehicles is evident in the IONIQ 9’s design, which is expected to blend advanced technology with practical features and sustainable materials. Expect a modern infotainment system, advanced driver-assistance features, and a versatile interior configuration suited for family use.

Launch and Pricing

Hyundai has confirmed that the IONIQ 9 will launch as a 2025 model, with a global debut slated for later this year. Placed higher than the IONIQ 5 in Hyundai’s lineup, pricing is expected to start in the $55,000 to $60,000 range, placing it in competition with other premium electric SUVs. This pricing aims to attract car shoppers who are looking for a well-rounded, high-performance electric vehicle without breaking the bank.
