It is the third product to be marketed under the electric cars-focused Ioniq sub-brand, after the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6. It is the largest Hyundai passenger electric vehicle to date.
Overview
[edit]The Ioniq 9 was unveiled on 20 November 2024 in Los Angeles, California, U.S.[2] Previously, its styling was previewed as a concept car called the Hyundai Seven Concept in November 2021. The model was named the Ioniq 7 during development. At the end of its development program in early 2024, the model was renamed to Ioniq 9.[3][4][5]
Designed under a concept called 'Aerosthetic', the Ioniq 9 incorporates aerodynamically optimized design features, such as a dual-motion active air flap at the front, 3D-shaped underbody cover, and low-resistance tires, achieving a drag coefficient of 0.259 Cd (with digital side mirrors optional in some markets).[6] In the cabin, features a flat floor design and customizable seating options, including six or seven seats with reclinable "Relaxation Seats" in the first and second rows. A Dynamic Body Care system with touch massage functionality and swiveling seats for second-row passengers are among the key interior offerings.[7]
During its introduction, the Ioniq 9 was announced with a single battery size option, an NCM lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 110.3 kWh. The Long Range RWD variant is claimed to have achieved a WLTP-estimated range of 620 km (390 mi). The vehicle supports 400V/800V charging and can charge from 10% to 80% in 24 minutes using a 350 kW charger. Trim levels announced during launch include Long Range RWD, Long Range AWD, and Performance AWD. The latter is claimed to be able to complete a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration test in 5.2 seconds.[8]
Sales of the Ioniq 9 are planned to commence in South Korea and the United States in the first half of 2025, followed by Europe and other regions.[9]
