A Bold Step Forward in EV Design

The IONIQ 9 sits at the top of the Hyundai’s IONIQ lineup, injecting cutting-edge technology with a design philosophy Hyundai calls Aerosthetic. This term captures the fusion of aerodynamic efficiency and futuristic styling. From its smooth, curved roofline to the sleek Parametric Pixel LED lights, the exterior gives off a clean, retro-futuristic look. The drag coefficient of just 0.259 Cd ensures optimal energy efficiency, while advanced features like flush surfaces and hidden antennas enhance the sleek aesthetic.

With a choice of 16 exterior colors and wheel options ranging up to 21 inches, including a premium Calligraphy design, the IONIQ 9 is as customizable as it is stylish. Expect heads to turn in Springfield’s bustling streets when this electric powerhouse makes its debut.

Sustainability and Innovation

The IONIQ 9 emphasizes eco-friendly practices with its use of recycled and bio-based materials, from its leather upholstery to its paints made from tire waste. These elements align with Hyundai’s mission to offer sustainable solutions without compromising luxury.

Spacious and Luxurious For up to 7

The three-row configuration offers seating for up to seven, with a fully flat floor that enhances cabin versatility. Hyundai introduces innovative features like Relaxation Seats that can recline and include a Dynamic Touch Massage system to alleviate fatigue on long drives. For social gatherings on the go, Swiveling Seats allow second-row passengers to face the third row—a unique touch that transforms the IONIQ 9 into a mobile lounge.

Storage space is abundant, with up to 1,323 liters of cargo room with the third-row seats folded and a convenient front trunk for additional storage. Sustainable materials, including eco-processed leather and recycled PET fabrics, emphasize Hyundai’s commitment to environmentally conscious design.

Powerful Performance Meets Quick Charging

Underpinned by Hyundai’s advanced Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the IONIQ 9 promises an impressive WLTP-projected range of 385 miles on a single charge, thanks to its 110.3 kWh battery. Whether you’re commuting in Springfield or planning a weekend getaway, the IONIQ 9 ensures you’ll go the distance.

Charging is lightning-fast, with the ability to replenish from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes using a 350 kW charger. For drivers seeking power, the Performance AWD model delivers 0-60 mph acceleration in about 4.9 seconds, while the Long-Range RWD variant offers a smooth and efficient ride.
