The Hyundai Ioniq 9 reinforces the definition of family electric transport as a 350-mile-range 3-row SUV with 800 V ultra-fast charging and cavernous 7 occupant space, at a lower base price of less than 60,000 to compete with Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S. Riding on Hyundai E-GMP and two-motor all-wheel drive with 429 hp, it can be seen as a mix of luxurious lounge-like atmosphere (imagine Nappa leather and 27-inch ultrawide dash) and rugged 7.8-inch clearance to go on light adventures. V2L power-outlets and Highway Driving Assist II makes it a no-compromise daily hauler, showing that EVs do not need to stop at gas stations to eat up road trips, carpools and equipment.
