Hyundai is giving buyers many more options to electrify their daily drive or weekend journeys with three new models that offer more space, power, and range: the updated Ioniq 5 and new Ioniq 9, as well as updated its Palisade offering with a new Hybrid variant.

Ioniq 9

The Ioniq 9 is what Hyundai calls a full-sized E-SUV. It boasts sedan-like aerodynamics within an SUV frame. Its notable features include cube projection headlights, digital side mirrors, and a digital center mirror.

Inside, the Ioniq 9 offers generous space for its six-seat configuration. Center seats can stretch to a full-flat form to truly enjoy its panoramic sunroof and lounge-like cabin. It also comes with a cavernous 1,323L of cargo space.

The driver gets a panoramic curved infotainment display, offering intuitive access to navigation, entertainment, as well as vehicle functions and information. It’s paired with a premium Bose sound system.

Being an SUV, the Ioniq 9 can take on both urban streets or off-road terrain, thanks to its Multi-Terrain Control. Furthermore, it comes with Hyundai SmartSense, a suite of auxiliary safety features as well as ten airbags. A builtin front and back camera also helps the vehicle navigate in tight confines.
