Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9

E-GMP 800V Ultra-Fast Charging

The foundation of the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is Hyundai’s e-GMP platform, which enables ultra-fast charging capability and smooth, instant electric torque. This advanced architecture supports quick top-ups at high-output public chargers and confident daily driving with regenerative braking that helps recapture energy. From a practical standpoint, e-GMP benefits you in two key ways: it shortens time spent at public chargers on road trips and delivers the responsive, quiet acceleration EV drivers love. The layout also helps optimize cabin space by packaging the battery pack low and flat, supporting a more open interior with a stable, planted feel on the road. Thanks to e-GMP, the IONIQ 9 aligns with the kind of charging performance drivers have admired in IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6, now scaled for a three-row family SUV.

Third Space Interior

Hyundai calls IONIQ 9 the “third space” because the cabin is intentionally designed as a restorative place between home and work. Thoughtful details include expansive seating arrangements, generous second- and third-row room, and the kind of storage solutions families appreciate in daily life. The quietness of the electric powertrain complements the calm atmosphere, while the open floor and clever packaging create an airy feel that makes long drives more relaxing. Expect upscale materials, intuitive touchpoints, and entertainment-forward technology that keeps everyone engaged. Whether you are ferrying teammates to practice or packing for a week up north, the IONIQ 9’s layout and amenities are tuned for comfort, flexibility, and easy cleanup.

Hyundai SmartSense Safety Technologies

Available Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance technologies help make every trip more confident. From stop-and-go traffic to highway cruising, the IONIQ 9 is designed with the latest safety thinking in mind. While specific feature availability will vary by trim and production timing, Hyundai SmartSense historically includes helpful systems such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and more, all engineered to support awareness and control. The tall seating position and expansive glass area work together with SmartSense to enhance visibility and ease of maneuvering, while the vehicle’s aerodynamic shape is optimized without compromising sightlines. It adds up to an EV that not only travels efficiently, but also supports your peace of mind with Hyundai’s latest active-safety innovations.

Bluelink® and Bluelink+ Connectivity

IONIQ 9 integrates Bluelink® and Bluelink+ connected services to support a smarter, more convenient ownership experience. Use compatible features to check charging status, pre-condition the cabin on chilly mornings or hot afternoons, and plan efficient routes that include charging stops when needed. The connectivity suite is designed to make EV life easier, with remote access that gives you control from your smartphone and supports day-to-day routines. Pair that with a modern infotainment system, seamless smartphone integration, and likely access to over-the-air updates, and the IONIQ 9 becomes a high-tech companion that grows with you. Connectivity, comfort, and charging awareness come together to reduce stress and keep your focus on the drive.

Assembled in the U.S.A.

The 2026 IONIQ 9 will be assembled in the U.S. from domestic and foreign sourced parts. For families, this matters in practical ways: empowering local manufacturing, supporting parts availability, and aligning the SUV’s design priorities with everyday American roads. The exterior balances a clean, aerodynamic character with confident SUV proportions, complementing its quiet electric powertrain. Inside, the focus on comfort, ease of use, and thoughtful storage reflects how North American families really travel. With IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 already proving Hyundai’s EV credibility, IONIQ 9 builds on that momentum with more space and capability—crafted for drivers who want an EV that feels both innovative and familiar.
