2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9

The Hyundai Ioniq 9 joins a growing number of electric three-row SUVs on the market. It can be configured to seat six or seven passengers; the six-passenger setup includes two reclining second-row captain's chairs that swivel to face the third row. Hyundai has gone big on aerodynamics, smoothing off everything from the door handles to the roof antenna, as well as the undercarriage. There is a single-motor rear-wheel drive version, a dual-motor all-wheel drive one, as well as a performance all-wheel drive variant. Electric driving range spans from 335 miles for the RWD to 320 and 311 miles for some versions of the AWD. Both get a large 110 kWh battery and a NACS-style charging port.  Hyundai says the Ioniq 9 will tow 5,000 pounds. All trim levels come standard with a full suite of active safety features, including AEB, BSW, automatic high beams, and driver attention monitoring.
