Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review of the electric car:The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 is a three-row SUV with unique styling, distinct from the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6. The pixel theme continues, but the car has a boat tail shape and bulbous nose, with the overall design being a deliberate move away from other Hyundai products.
Though it appears large, it's not enormous; it is however spacious, including the third row. Cubbies, shelves, and a center console with drawer enhance practicality. The climate controls are touch-based, low on the dash, and require attention. Dual 12.3-inch screens are positioned low to avoid distraction. A head-up display is available on top trims.
A 110 kWh battery provides good range, and its weight is well-managed. The suspension feels supple without being loose. It has good sound isolation and laminated glass to manage road noise. Tesla-style charging with NACS is included for access to that network.
It gets approximately 500 to 539 kilometers of range based on the trim. It is equipped with four-setting regenerative braking and one-pedal driving. A rolled-over vehicle caused traffic delays and extra range.
It uses a column-mounted shifter, where you hit a button at the end for park. Its starting price is $83,500 before taxes, making it expensive. The "Preferred plus" trim is $67,000. The performance version has 422 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. One-pedal driving has been improved versus earlier EVs.
