2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9

The 2026 IONIQ 9 is available in several trims, including S, SE, SEL, and a lineup of Performance models such as Performance Limited, Performance Calligraphy, and Performance Calligraphy Design. The S trim serves as the entry point with rear-wheel drive and a well-rounded feature set. Moving up to the SE and SEL adds all-wheel drive capability along with enhanced comfort and convenience features that improve versatility for changing weather and road conditions. At the top end, the Performance trims elevate the experience with dual-motor power, stronger acceleration, premium interior materials, upscale styling elements, and features like a panoramic roof and power-folding third-row seats.

Thanks to its 800-volt architecture, the IONIQ 9 supports fast DC charging that can bring the battery from 10% to 80% in roughly 24 minutes, making long-distance travel more convenient. When properly equipped, it can also tow up to 5,000 pounds, placing it in the same functional category as many gas-powered midsize SUVs.

Every 2026 IONIQ 9 is fully electric, powered by a 110.3-kWh lithium-ion battery pack supported by Hyundai’s advanced E-GMP platform. The rear-wheel-drive configuration produces 215 horsepower and delivers a projected 335-mile range on a full charge. Dual-motor all-wheel-drive models increase output to 303 horsepower while maintaining impressive efficiency for daily driving. The Performance AWD trims raise capability even further, producing 422 horsepower for drivers who want stronger acceleration and maximum power.

Inside, the IONIQ 9 is spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Its long wheelbase creates generous room across all three rows, making it an excellent fit for families or anyone who needs flexible seating and cargo space. A 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster, and modern connectivity features come standard. Higher trims expand comfort with ventilated seats, a panoramic roof, premium interior materials, and power-folding third-row seating, giving the cabin a more luxurious and contemporary feel.

The IONIQ 9 includes a comprehensive suite of standard safety and driver-assistance features, such as forward-collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. These systems provide reassurance in everyday driving and long trips alike. Available upgrades include a surround-view camera system, smart parking assist, and more advanced driver-assistance technologies that make maneuvering in tight spaces, such as urban New Rochelle parking garages, easier and safer.
