The Ioniq 9 will offer various powertrain options, including a 160 kW rear motor for the Long-Range RWD model and dual motors for AWD configurations, along with vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities.

The SUV will support bidirectional charging for home energy systems and features a front trunk (frunk) with a storage capacity ranging from 52 to 88 liters.

With a towing capacity of 2500 kg and a trailer mode that adjusts performance based on load, the Ioniq 9 is designed for versatility.

Design elements include a full-width front light bar and distinctive rear styling, incorporating features from previous Hyundai models like 'Parametric Pixels' on the grille.

Sustainability is a key focus, with the use of eco-friendly materials such as recycled PET and bio-based paints throughout the vehicle's interior.

Performance-wise, the SUV can accelerate to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds for the performance model, while the long-range RWD variant takes 9.4 seconds.

The vehicle's aerodynamic design, influenced by extensive wind tunnel testing, boasts a drag coefficient of 0.269, which is more typical of sports cars.

Hyundai is gearing up to launch the Ioniq 9, its largest electric SUV, in the first half of 2025, featuring three rows of seats and a remarkable 335-mile range.

Hyundai plans to enhance the Ioniq 9 experience with customizable features available through an app store, without imposing subscription fees for essential functions.

Safety is prioritized with advanced technologies, including ten airbags, autonomous emergency braking, and blind-spot assist, ensuring passenger protection.

Controls are user-friendly, primarily managed through a central large display or voice commands, while essential functions are accessible via physical dials.

Simon Loasby, Hyundai's Senior Vice President of Design, emphasized a philosophy of 'beauty not botox,' aiming for a natural and appealing aesthetic in the vehicle's design.
