Spacious, powerful, and built in the USA, the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is the best SUV for eco-friendly adventures. It has room for growing families and modern tech features to keep you entertained on the road.

The 2026 IONIQ 9 is Hyundai’s first-ever three-row electric SUV. Its exciting exterior design pairs rugged looks with futuristic styling elements, such as unique LED headlamps with an available dynamic welcome light feature. Active grille shutters, a rear spoiler, and automatic-retracting flush door handles improve the model’s aerodynamics. Nineteen-inch alloy wheels and standard roof rails enhance this SUV’s sporty allure.

Powertrain Options

Each IONIQ 9 model gets power from a 110.3 kWh battery with standard preconditioning for improved cold-weather performance. A single-motor, rear-wheel-drive powertrain is standard on the entry trim level, delivering 215 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

The upper trims have a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup with 303 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque on the SE and SEL trims and up to 422 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque on the Limited, Calligraphy, and Calligraphy Design.

Range & Charging

The base rear-wheel drive system delivers best-in-lineup fuel economy ratings of 103 MPGe in the city and 81 MPGe on the highway, as well as a driving range of 335 miles on a full charge. The all-wheel drive system provides a driving range of 320 miles on SE and SEL models and 311 miles on the upper trims. At speeds of 350 kW, you can charge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in only 24 minutes.

The interior is designed for growing families and comes with standard seats for seven. All rows provide ample lounge space, including a generous 42.8 inches of legroom in the second row and 32 inches in the third row.
