Modern is opening Volume, is part of the broader prosperity of Korean culture and design. But can magic be extended to large-sized pure electric personnel carriers? IONIQ 9 is here to reschedule your exact view of what “utilities” means.
It also stretches the brand bigger and higher-end than before. There is no doubt that design and technical leadership elsewhere in the series have strengthened the company’s confidence. Hyundai calls its design philosophy “Aviation”, with the aim of maintaining air efficiency and frolicking without polarized opinions. The brand’s signature pixel lights are present and correct, and if you look closely, there are clever radii.
Simon Loasby, the company’s design director, compared the Ioniq EV series with chess pieces. They are obviously related, but each has its own unique characteristics. In this case, the Ioniq 9 must be a king or queen, and it has traded the 80s steam wave atmosphere of the Ioniq 5, while the More Outré Raymond Loewy of the 6 looks like a Stoic under the lantern. Some might accuse Hyundai of disappointing layoffs here, but this is the big MPV we are talking about. It’s solemn rather than sexy. If your taste is more extroverted, there will always be relevant Kia EV9.
In any case, the Boxy form of the Ioniq 9 is much simpler than it seems. It has curved rooflines and tapered tails, resulting in a drag coefficient of only 0.259. This impressed with cars of this size and shape. Of course, lower drag is important in electric vehicles as it helps to increase other ranges.
No laser lump

9 also effectively manages the airflow below the body. The active Aero is usually a protected area for heavy hitters like Ferrari and McLaren, but under this place there is a flap that sends cooling air to the battery and drive system when needed. The mechanism even combines linear motion with rotation to eliminate voids and rush into the air flow. Unlike the LiDAR lump, it would rather destroy the Volvo EX90 surface or the surface, while the Ioniq 9’s windshield, tailgate glass and indoor sensors meet connectivity and level 2 autonomous driving requirements.
Three versions are available, each with a heavy hit NCM lithium-ion 110.3-kWh battery, but offer a variety of power outputs. The single motorcycle is made at 215 bhp, and the most effective one is the dual electric motor, 429 bhp Performance AWD. Hyundai’s single-motor RWD car has a maximum range of 335 miles (EPA). The wired test car is a mid-range long-distance AWD, dual-motor, but the overall power output is small, at 309 bhp. Price and specifications are still unconfirmed, but we expect this version to cost around £74,000 (approximately $94,000) in the UK.
The Ioniq 9 is located on Hyundai’s E-GMP architecture, a modular platform that supports other Hyundai and Kia electric vehicles. It combines the motor, transmission and inverter into one unit using a compact power system. This means it also has an 800-volt battery system, which makes the Ioniq 9 charge from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes – it can be found that you can find a 350 kW charger. And there is Vehicle Arrival (V2L) function so you can use a large battery to run your home device.
Indulge in the interior

Settling behind the steering wheel, you immediately notice the command driving position and the fabulous seats. These are the two pillars of Range Rover’s reputation and thus a good start. In some markets, the “relax” chair has a full massage function, with the middle rows rotating to face the rear seats. This is not a program. Happily, the seats on the second row are as accommodated as the first row, and even the third row is not too simple. The row folds up and has 1,323 liters of storage.
