Interior, Comfort & Space

The all-new Hyundai IONIQ 9 transforms the concept of a vehicle interior into a home away from home. Offering exceptional headroom and legroom even in the third row, the spacious, ‘lounge-like’ interior provides a responsive space tailored to the diverse needs of each passenger, creating a unique in-car experience truly 'Built to Belong'.

Maximising the potential of the E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform) enables a fully flat floor and together with a wheelbase of 3.13 metres – the longest in any IONIQ model to date – it elevates the all-new IONIQ 9’s roominess across all three rows to a new level. Flexible seating configurations allow customers to choose between six or seven-seat layouts, adapting the space for maximum passenger comfort or enhanced cargo capacity.

Passengers can enjoy Hyundai’s Relaxation Seats² in the first and second rows, which fully recline and include integrated leg rests, creating a comfortable environment for resting and recharging. In select markets, swivelling seats³ in the second row allow passengers to rotate and face the third row when parked, transforming the cabin into a social and interactive space – ideal for family outings or relaxed waiting periods.

Beyond seating flexibility, IONIQ 9 offers generous cargo capacity with up to 908 litres of luggage space when the third row is folded and 338 litres⁴ with all seats in place. With all rear seats folded flat, cargo volume increases to 2,494 litres for the six-seater version and 2,419 litres for the seven-seater. The front trunk (frunk) provides additional storage, with 88 litres available in RWD models – perfect for charging cables and small travel essentials – and 52 litres in AWD models, offering extra storage for daily use.

Inside, elliptical design elements create an open and relaxing cabin atmosphere. Thoughtful material selection and ambient lighting enhance the premium yet modern aesthetic. An optional openable panoramic sunroof elevates the cabin ambiance with a bright and airy atmosphere. 

Customers in Europe can choose from refined interior colour combinations, designed to complement the vehicle’s sophisticated, lounge-like environment:

• Obsidian Black 
• Obsidian Black + Dove Grey (two-tone) 
• Dark Teal + Dove Grey (two-tone) 
• Dark Wine + Dove Grey (two-tone)

Built on Hyundai’s advanced E-GMP architecture, IONIQ 9 combines its long 3.13-metre wheelbase with an aerodynamic body, ensuring a spacious and flexible cabin while optimising ride comfort and handling stability. Its aerodynamically sculpted bodywork achieves an ultra-low drag coefficient of just 0.259 Cd, significantly improving efficiency and range.

This is made possible through a combination of innovative air management systems and intelligent design solutions. The short hood, together with the fast windscreen, creates the longest interior diagonal in its segment, maximizing interior space while enhancing aerodynamic efficiency. The dual-motion active air flap (AAF) system, used for the first time on a Hyundai model, dynamically adjusts airflow to provide cooling when needed while minimising resistance when closed. The turbine-inspired wheel design, featuring a partially closed rim structure, contributes to aerodynamic performance while adding a dynamic visual statement.

A 3D-shaped underbody cover, aerodynamic wheel designs, and hidden antennas further refine airflow, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted movement. These elements work together to reduce energy consumption, allowing IONIQ 9 to maximise its 620 km⁵ WLTP range.

Hyundai’s Parametric Pixel lighting signature, a defining characteristic of the all-new IONIQ lineup, seamlessly integrates into IONIQ 9’s front and rear lighting design. The futuristic pixel-inspired LED headlights and rear lights not only enhance visibility but also reinforce the vehicle’s distinctive, high-tech appearance.

In trims equipped with the Intelligent Front-lighting System (IFS), the pixel headlights also feature matrix high beam functionality, which automatically adapts the light beam to surrounding traffic, improving nighttime visibility while avoiding glare. As part of Hyundai’s advanced aerodynamics and safety technologies, the optional Compact Digital Side Mirrors replace conventional side mirrors to reduce drag and enhance rearward visibility through high-resolution camera feeds.

With a wide selection of ten exterior colours, including several new shades, customers can personalise their all-new IONIQ 9 to match their style.

Customers in Europe can choose from a wide range of exterior colours:

• Sunset Brown Pearl (new)
• Celadon Grey Matte/Metallic (new)
• Ionosphere Green Pearl (new)
• Abyss Black Pearl
• Serenity White Pearl
• Nocturne Grey Matte/Metallic
• Biophilic Blue Pearl
• Gravity Gold Matte

Performance & Driving Dynamics

The all-new Hyundai IONIQ 9 delivers a driving experience that is both refined and engaging, balancing effortless comfort with precise handling. Designed to provide confidence and control in every situation, IONIQ 9 ensures a smooth yet dynamic ride, whether navigating city streets, highways, or challenging driving conditions.

Customers can choose between a rear-wheel drive (RWD) model and an all-wheel drive (AWD) variant. The AWD variant is powered by two separate electric motors on the front and rear axles for enhanced traction and performance. For those seeking maximum driving excitement, IONIQ 9 is also available as a Performance AWD model, delivering even greater power and acceleration.

The Long-Range RWD model features a 160 kW rear motor, providing an excellent balance of efficiency and performance. The Long-Range AWD model adds a 66.1 kW front motor, optimising power distribution and stability in varying conditions. The Performance AWD model pushes performance even further with dual 157.3 kW⁶  motors, one on each axle, delivering rapid acceleration and precise control.

Each variant ensures confidence-inspiring performance. The Performance AWD model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h⁷, while the Long-Range AWD completes the sprint in 6.7 seconds with a top speed of 200 km/h⁸ The Long-Range RWD model reaches 100 km/h in 9.4 seconds and a maximum speed of 190 km/h⁹ In highway passing situations, the Performance AWD model accelerates from 80 to 120 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, followed by the Long-Range AWD in 4.8 seconds and the Long-Range RWD in 6.8 seconds.

To maintain a composed and comfortable ride, IONIQ 9 features self-levelling dampers, which automatically adjust to changes in load, preserving ride height, stability, and passenger comfort. This system works in tandem with dynamic torque vectoring, a technology that distributes power between the left and right wheels of the vehicle to improve handling. By shifting power to the outside wheels during cornering, it enhances cornering precision and agility, giving IONIQ 9 a sportier and responsive feel on winding roads.

For added confidence on challenging surfaces, IONIQ 9 offers a dedicated Terrain Mode with pre-set driving profiles for snow, mud, and sand.¹⁰

Hyundai has also prioritised a quiet and relaxing cabin environment with Active Noise Cancelling-Road (ANC-R) technology. As a first-ever feature in a Hyundai, ANC-R is integrated into the Bose 14-speaker premium sound system and actively counteracts road and wind noise. By continuously analysing external noise, the system generates inverse sound waves through the speakers to neutralise unwanted sounds. This ensures a tranquil and undisturbed cabin atmosphere, allowing passengers to enjoy crystal-clear audio quality, whether listening to music, engaging in conversations, or simply appreciating the composed ride – even at high speeds.

IONIQ 9’s Smart Regenerative System 3.0 takes energy efficiency a step further by automatically adjusting recuperation levels based on real-time navigation data. Using information such as upcoming speed limits, turns, and roundabouts, the system optimises braking regeneration to maximise driving range and comfort while enhancing overall efficiency.

All-wheel drive models with dual motors offer increased traction and dynamic performance, with the dedicated Performance AWD variant further enhancing power and acceleration.  

Thanks to its 800V ultra-fast charging capability, IONIQ 9 can recharge from 10 to 80 percent in just 24 minutes¹³ when using a 350 kW DC fast charger. This allows drivers to add hundreds of kilometres of range in the time it takes for a short break. IONIQ 9 also supports 400V charging without additional hardware, ensuring flexibility at various charging stations.

Beyond its impressive range and charging speed, IONIQ 9 enhances everyday usability with its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, which allows users to power external devices directly from the vehicle. Whether charging e-bikes, running camping equipment, or providing emergency power, the V2L system offers added convenience for modern lifestyles.

Connectivity, Smart Features & Infotainment

The all-new Hyundai IONIQ 9 is designed to keep drivers and passengers connected, informed, and entertained with cutting-edge infotainment, AI-powered assistance, and personalised digital services. A fully integrated user experience ensures that every journey is smarter, more intuitive, and effortlessly enjoyable.

At the heart of IONIQ 9’s digital ecosystem is the panoramic curved display, which seamlessly combines a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. This setup provides a clear, driver-focused interface that integrates key driving information, navigation, and entertainment features in one cohesive display.

For the first time in a Hyundai vehicle, the Hyundai AI Assistant, powered by ChatGPT, transforms the way drivers interact with their vehicle. By integrating the GPT-4o mini model among other systems, it understands and processes complex queries with ease, providing real-time navigation and intuitive assistance. Whether activated through the wake-up phrase "Hey Hyundai" or via the steering wheel button, this intelligent co-pilot allows for seamless voice control, enabling drivers to focus entirely on the road while effortlessly managing essential functions.
