The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 is not your average SUV. It's an all-electric, three-row beast packed with futuristic tech and quirky features that make it stand out in a sea of mundane family haulers. From the oval-shaped key that doubles as the Hyundai logo to the pixelated design elements both inside and out, this car screams innovation. The front trunk can be easily accessed with a push of a button on the key, showcasing Hyundai's attention to detail and convenience.
Step inside the Ioniq 9, and you're greeted with a lounge-like atmosphere, thanks to the relaxation seats that can recline fully for a nap on the go. The movable center console adds a touch of customization, allowing passengers to adjust it to their liking. The infotainment system is top-notch, with a curved screen, rearview mirror camera, and even a "sounds of nature" feature for those moments when you want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
But it's not all about comfort and convenience in the Ioniq 9. Hyundai has also packed this SUV with safety features like alerts for opening doors in traffic and warnings when the car in front of you starts moving. The climate controls have their own dedicated function, separate from the main screen, making it easy to adjust the temperature without fumbling through menus. While the gauge cluster screen may lack some configurability, the overall interior design and tech features make the Hyundai Ioniq 9 a compelling option in the electric SUV market.
