Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9

e-GMP 800V Ultra-Fast Charging

Built on Hyundai’s e-GMP platform, the IONIQ 9 is engineered for ultra-fast DC charging on compatible stations, helping you recover meaningful range during a quick coffee stop. The 800V architecture enables efficient power flow and robust thermal management, which supports repeatable performance during back-to-back sessions on road trips. Public charging is only part of the story. The platform’s bidirectional capability works with Regenerative braking to capture energy in traffic and while descending hills, adding real-world efficiency. At home, Level 2 charging is straightforward to integrate, making daily top-offs predictable and convenient. The result is an EV that fits busy schedules and long weekends, with less time waiting and more time going.

Three-Row Space and the Third Space Concept

The IONIQ 9 pioneers a calm, comfortable “third space” that feels as welcoming as your living room and as functional as your office. The EV-specific layout enables a flat floor and generous headroom, so passengers in every row find a natural seating position. Second-row options maximize comfort and access, while the third row is crafted for real-world usability with family and friends. Thoughtful interior materials, integrated storage, and intuitive controls help keep the cabin organized and serene. Need cargo capacity for a weekend away or sports gear after school pick-up? The fold-flat flexibility lets you reconfigure the space quickly, turning daily errands into a smoother routine. Every detail is aimed at reducing friction, from entry and exit to loading and unloading.

Hyundai SmartSense and Highway Driving Assist II

Confidence is built into the IONIQ 9 with Hyundai SmartSense, a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance technologies. Highway Driving Assist II helps with steering support, following distance, and lane changes under appropriate conditions, easing fatigue on longer drives and commutes. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot safety technologies, and other active features help support awareness across city streets and freeways. Available Remote Smart Parking Assist is especially helpful in tight garages and narrow parking structures, guiding the vehicle in or out while you monitor from nearby. The focus is on making difficult moments less stressful, so you can focus on the journey and the people with you.

Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) Power Inside and Out

The IONIQ 9 is engineered to share its energy with your life, thanks to Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability. Power tools at a project site, run a laptop during roadside work, or keep a tailgate party lit and lively. V2L lets you tap into the battery through dedicated outlets, turning your SUV into a rolling power source. For families, it is equally practical—charging devices, inflating air mattresses for a weekend away, or keeping a mini-cooler running at youth sports. Combined with the quiet cabin and smooth ride, V2L transforms downtime into productive time, whether you are parked near a scenic overlook or waiting during after-school activities.

Bluelink® Connected Services and Digital Key

Remote convenience comes standard with Bluelink® connected services, which enable features like remote climate preconditioning, charge scheduling, and trip planning from your smartphone. Set your cabin to a relaxing temperature before stepping out the door or check charging status without walking to the garage. Over-the-air update capability helps keep vehicle systems current with the latest enhancements. Digital Key adds everyday flexibility by allowing authorized users to lock, unlock, and start the vehicle using compatible smartphones, so you can leave traditional keys at home when it is convenient. Together, these technologies bring the IONIQ 9’s smart, intuitive personality to life every day.
