It offers a practical and stylish solution for drivers who demand versatility without sacrificing forward-looking technology or clean performance. The future of family travel is available today.
The 2026 model lineup offers impressive options to suit different requirements. However, they all share the same commitment to modern, aerodynamic styling. The available trims are the S, SE, SEL, Performance Limited, Performance Calligraphy, and the Performance Calligraphy Design. Base models come equipped with stylish 19-inch alloy wheels that complement the vehicle’s clean lines. As you move up the range, exterior enhancements become more apparent, adding to the vehicle’s presence. The top-tier Calligraphy and Calligraphy Design models feature exclusive exterior design elements that set them apart, including options for matte paint and unique 21-inch turbine design alloy wheels that underscore their premium standing. These models present the most expressive and bold interpretation of the vehicle’s extremely contemporary design language.
Three advanced all-electric powertrains are available in the all-new 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9. The entry-level S trim features a rear-wheel-drive system with a single electric motor that produces 215 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This configuration can tow up to 3,500 pounds and achieves an EPA-estimated range of 335 miles on a full charge. The all-wheel-drive SE and SEL trims use a dual-motor setup generating a combined 303 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque, providing an increased towing capacity of 5,000 pounds and a range of 320 miles. The Performance AWD models, including the Limited and Calligraphy, boast a powerful dual-motor system that delivers 422 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque for maximum acceleration. This potent powertrain enables a 0-60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds while offering a 311-mile range and a 5,000-pound towing capacity. Every Hyundai IONIQ 9 has a 110.3 kWh battery that can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 24 minutes using a 350-kW DC fast charger.
The cabin provides a generous amount of space and advanced technology, with seating for up to seven occupants or an optional six-seat layout with second-row captain’s chairs. Sustainable materials, including recycled plastics and synthetic leathers, are used throughout the interior. For storage, the vehicle offers a sliding center console accessible from the front and second rows, along with 21.9 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row. Technology is seamlessly integrated, centered around a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with navigation. Driver-assist systems are comprehensive, including Highway Driving Assist 2, Smart Cruise Control 2 with Stop & Go, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist. Top trims like the Calligraphy offer exclusive features such as a Head-Up Display, a full-display digital rearview mirror, and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2. The innovative Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) system provides 120V power outlets inside and outside the vehicle, allowing you to power electronics and other equipment on the go.
