Hyundai Motor Presents IONIQ 9 All-Electric Three-Row SUV in LA

Hyundai Motor Company has unveiled IONIQ 9, a three-row, all-electric SUV with expansive interior space that fuses cutting-edge design and innovative electric vehicle (EV) technology. The EV's flat floor accommodates seating arrangements for six or seven occupants.

IONIQ 9 also introduces second-row Swiveling Seats, allowing the second- and third-row occupants to face each other when the vehicle is stationary.

Its floor-mounted ithium-ion battery offers 110.3 kWh of system energy and it is expected to achieve an WLTP-estimated all-electric range of 620 km and WLTP-targeted energy consumption of 194 Wh/km for the Long-Range RWD model with 19-inch wheels^[.

The new model charges from 10 to 80 percent in 24 minutes using a 350 kW charger.

The Performance model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds, while the Long-Range AWD variant takes 6.7 seconds, and the Long-Range RWD version takes 9.4 seconds.

The model features Hyundai AI Assistant, an AI-enabled voice recognition system* similar to a home virtual assistant, which is activated by a button.

The World Premiere event opened in LA with a keynote speech by José Muñoz, the President and Global Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai Motor Company.

Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company, says: "IONIQ 9 embodies Hyundai Motor's unwavering commitment and confidence in electrification. Based on Hyundai Motor Group's acclaimed Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), IONIQ 9 offers outstanding interior space, providing customers with unique value while solidifying our leadership in the global EV market."

Hyundai Motor's IONIQ 9 will go on sale in Korea and the United States in the first half of 2025, with subsequent rollout planned for Europe and other markets later.
