  • Prices start from £64,995

Since its debut in November 2024, the IONIQ 9 electric SUV has been hailed as one of the most anticipated electric vehicles of 2025.

Building on the award-winning Hyundai IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 — both triple winners at the World Car of the Year Awards in 2022 and 2023 respectively — the innovative IONIQ 9 is a commitment to future electric mobility, as part of Hyundai Motor’s vision to offer 21 EVs by 2030.

IONIQ 9 is characterised by its clean, sophisticated and stylish design that not only projects the strength and confidence of a modern SUV but also produces an aerodynamically optimised form, resulting in an enhanced airflow and a drag coefficient of just 0.27Cd. The IONIQ family’s parametric pixel signature design theme is represented on IONIQ 9 in the horizontal daytime running lights, vertical headlights and rear taillights that surround the wide tailgate opening which makes loading effortless.

IONIQ 9’s innovative interior creates a home away from home, with a lounge-like atmosphere is created through elliptical elements and calming tones, while natural light streams through the optional panoramic sunroof. Passengers will benefit from roominess with ample second and third row space and a flat floor, accommodating flexible seating arrangements for six or seven occupants. The centre console revolutionises interior accessibility with its walk-through front-row arrangement alongside bidirectional armrests that open from front and rear, allowing easy access from the second row, while the entire console can slide up to 190 mm, delivering greater storage flexibility.

Alongside design, comfort and practicality, IONIQ 9’s interior is also home to a host of technologically advanced features such as Hyundai AI Assistant, a development of Hyundai’s existing voice recognition system. Hyundai AI Assistant uses Generative AI to assist the driver in controlling multiple vehicle systems such as climate control functions and navigation alongside interacting with the driver upon request for information such as local restaurant recommendations1.

All IONIQ 9 models feature a 110kWh battery, with a choice of Long Range 218PS RWD, Long Range 307PS AWD or 427PS AWD Performance powertrains, all with standard heat pump, manually selectable battery conditioning and Vehicle 2 Load (V2L) with internal 3 pin plug. The Long-Range RWD model offers easily accessible power thanks to its 160-kW rear motor, while the Long-Range AWD adds a 66-kW front motor for extra performance. For maximum output, the Performance AWD models boast powerful 157-kW motors on both the front and rear axles.

All variants deliver confidence-inspiring performance. The Performance AWD model accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.2 seconds, while the Long-Range AWD variant takes 6.7 seconds. The Long-Range RWD achieves this in 9.4 seconds. Torque levels of 350Nm for Long Range RWD, 605Nm for Long Range AWD and 700Nm for Performance models ensure rapid overtaking ability and higher speed acceleration when required.

With prices starting from £64,995, the IONIQ 9 Premium 218PS RWD features 19” alloy wheels, roof rails, LED cube projection headlights and LED taillights, automatic door handles, privacy glass and power tailgate. Interior equipment includes heated leather steering wheel, wool and leather combination seat upholstery, heated, ventilated and electrically operated front seats with 8-way adjustment and 2-way lumbar support, heated rear seats (2nd row), 2nd row armrest with 60/40 split folding.

Standard safety equipment includes Downhill Brake Control (DBC), Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA 2.0), Highway Drive Assist (HDA 2.0) and Multi Collision Brake Assist (MCA).

Available from £73,495, the IONIQ 9 Ultimate 307PS AWD builds on the Premium specification by adding 20” alloy wheels, body coloured wheel arch with black inserts and panoramic sunroof. Interior specification enhancements include leather upholstery, 4-way lumbar adjustments to driver and passenger front seats, ventilated rear seats (2nd row) and power folding 3rd row. A BOSE premium sound system with 14 speakers and subwoofer,

The Ergo Motion driver’s seat is designed to enhance comfort and reduce fatigue during driving through massage functions including "comfortable stretch" and "smart posture assist," which can be accessed and customized through the vehicle's infotainment system. ANC-R technology uses a suite of sensors, amplifiers and microphones to constantly monitor road and engine noise entering the cabin. Within 0.002 seconds of detecting unwanted noise, the systems digital signal processor analysis the noise and produces an inverted soundwave via IONIQ 9’s audio system, cancelling out unwanted noise and creating optimum cabin comfort for all passengers.

The range topping Calligraphy model starts from £75,795 for the 307PS AWD. Calligraphy models adds additional equipment to the Ultimate trim including 21” wheels and full body coloured wheel arches, as well as unique bumper and side skirt graphics.

In addition to the flexible seating arrangement, Calligraphy models can also be specified with Digital Side Mirrors and a 427PS AWD powertrain.

Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai & Genesis UK said “IONIQ 9 is a bold statement of innovation, sustainability, and design. From its E-GMP fast charging and long-distance capabilities, driver centric technology and enhanced cabin comfort, every detail has been crafted to redefine the electric driving experience. We can’t wait for our customers and their passengers alike to feel the thrill and freedom this SUV brings to the road.”
