Hyundai is preparing to launch its new electric three-row SUV, the Ioniq 9. This follows Kia’s release of the EV9, which debuted over a year ago. Hyundai plans to reveal the Ioniq 9 at the Los Angeles auto show next week and shared teaser sketches showing a sleek design and a “lounge-like” interior.
Hyundai Ioniq 9 is based on the Seven concept from 2021 and retains much of its design. This new model will offer an electric alternative to Hyundai’s popular Palisade SUV. It will be based on the E-GMP platform, which is also used by Hyundai’s other electric models and Kia’s EV6 and EV9.
Hyundai Ioniq 9 is anticipated to have similar features to the Kia EV9. The EV9 is offered in rear or all-wheel drive and has a range of 370 kilometers to 489 kilometers, depending on the model. It also has power options from 201 hp to 379 hp. The Ioniq 9 is expected to be priced around $50,000 and will likely be available in the U.S. in 2025.
