Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9

e-GMP Platform and Ultra-Fast Charging

The IONIQ 9 leverages Hyundai’s e-GMP platform — the same innovative architecture underpinning IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 — to deliver stable handling, a flat-floor interior, and support for ultra-fast charging on compatible DC fast chargers. The platform’s electrical layout is engineered to accept high-output charging for shorter stops and more time moving. Around town, you can rely on convenient home charging or the growing public network. On the highway, ultra-fast capability helps you add meaningful range in the time it takes to stretch your legs. Regenerative braking rounds out the charging story by reclaiming energy during deceleration to help optimize efficiency and battery life.

Three-Row EV Space

Hyundai calls it the “third space” for a reason. The IONIQ 9 uses its long wheelbase, flat floor, and intelligent packaging to maximize comfort and conversation in every row. The cabin is open and airy, with thoughtful storage and family-friendly access that makes loading up easy. The second and third rows are designed for real-world usability — whether you are carpooling, bringing friends, or packing for a weekend away. Fold-flat versatility gives you the freedom to reconfigure quickly for cargo or passengers, and the quiet, vibration-minimizing nature of an EV powertrain keeps the conversation calm and clear.

Hyundai SmartSense

Available Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance brings a suite of technologies intended to help you drive more confidently. From features that can help alert you to potential hazards to systems that can help assist with steering and braking in certain scenarios, SmartSense is about reducing the everyday workload. Available highway-assistance features can help keep you centered and can help manage following distance on well-marked roads, while available blind-spot and rear cross-traffic technologies can help you navigate parking lots and busy lanes. The goal is straightforward — support your awareness while you remain in control — so longer trips feel easier and daily commutes feel less stressful.

Bluelink® Connected Services

The IONIQ 9 is built to work with available Bluelink® connected services for a smarter, more convenient ownership experience. Use compatible devices to check charge status, schedule charging during off-peak hours, precondition the cabin, or locate nearby public charging. On the road, available navigation can help you plan routes that include charging stops, and over-the-air updates, where available, can help keep select systems current. For families juggling multiple schedules, these connected touches save time and remove guesswork — you get the information you need, when you need it, right from your phone.

Assembled in the U.S.

The 2026 IONIQ 9 will be assembled in the U.S. from domestic and foreign sourced parts. That matters for quality and confidence, and it reflects Hyundai’s commitment to building vehicles closer to the customers who rely on them. It also speaks to the brand’s broader vision — blending advanced design and engineering with a customer-first approach to ownership. From the precise panel fit to the quiet ride and refined details, the IONIQ 9 feels like a modern family flagship you will be proud to park in your driveway.
