Fun to drive

Coming from a gas powered SUV, the ride in the Ioniq 9 is incredibly smooth. It’s super comfortable and so nice inside. It has some quirks in the display controls and wireless CarPlay, but overall fun to drive.

Converted Hyundai driver

I love my Ionic 9. The three rows of seats are critical for a busy mom and the back seat area is huge. There are so many amazing bells and whistles. It’s drives extremely smooth and feels like a European car.

Love my IONIQ 9 more everyday

I went to get the EV9 and could not get the price I wanted. Went and drove the IONIQ 9 and fell in love.

Luxurious vehicle, with a few flaws

Really enjoyed the vehicle. The cabin is open and spacious and can fit a lot of people and / or cargo. The automatic wipers are terrible and need to go. The charging is good, but the efficiency of the vehicle could be improved a bit. It would be great to see closer to ~2.8-3.0 miles per kwh highway efficiency in the vehicle to allow for a highway range closer to ~300 miles (Toyota seems to have unlocked that efficiency with their Highlander EV).

So much potential

Overall a great vehicle : great comfort, front looks great, a lot of features in SEL. somethings definitely need to fix: the rear exterior design looks bad; need phone/app only entry like tesla or ev9; door handles need redesigning - kids 5-7yo cant seem to be able to open door from outside or inside easily; SEL should include simple feature for owners to customize lights (headlights, interior)

Great, spacious, luxury all electric SUV

Well built and designed. Very comfortable an luxurious inside. Great on long trips. One sees, however, it was modified from an ICE platform and hasn't embraced all the advantages of an all electric - yet. I'm sure they will continue to smooth the integration and software. Meanwhile, I love every day that I drive it.

Outstanding value for a seven passenger SUV!

Trading in a 2023 dual motor Ioniq 6 SE which replaced a plug-in Volt with a 67 mile electric range. Loved the long range I-6 it was quiet, powerful and could travel 300 miles between highway charges at the speed limit. Would still have the I-6 but weekly overnights with three grandchildren in late 2025 created challenges in transportation. Got a wonderful lease deal on the Ioniq 9 SEL trim - it is even quieter, more comfortable and transporting three grandchildren with child car seat and two boosters is a breeze. In 160 mile interstate trips at the speed limit indicates a highway range of 300 miles given the bigger I-9 battery. Pleasant to drive and the dual motors have adequate power. Good news was that insurance, outrageous in Florida, was a $1,000 less per year than the I-6 dual motor - mostly due to the better protection and the latest safety features.

Upgrade from Ioniq 5 worth every penny

I converted to electric 3 years ago. If moving from my first EV to my second is any indication of the future, I can not wait for the future of Hyundai. The Ioniq 9 is an incredible ride with great range. I couldn’t be happier.

Disappointed with SEL

Best Decision Ever

We weren’t even looking for an electric vehicle, but the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 completely changed our minds. Everything about it—from the stunning color to the driving experience—is just excellent. What really stands out is the driving dynamics. It doesn’t feel like a typical EV; it has the grounded, substantial weight of a powerful combustion engine car, yet retains that signature electric smoothness. The convenience factor is also a huge win. Since it’s compatible with the Tesla Supercharger network, finding a station is effortless. We can hit an 80% charge in just 20 minutes, and the range estimates have been incredibly accurate—delivering exactly what’s promised on the dashboard. It's truly an impressive machine!

Great vehicle

I am very pleased with this vehicle. It is everything I expected. I wanted a larger version of my previous vehicle, an IONIQ 5, and this fit the bill exactly. Quick and great handling for a larger SUV, with better range and just as fast charging. There are also more luxury features than my previous vehicle. I couldn’t be happier!

Nearly There

For a 3-row family car where it is likely to have multiple passengers, the lack of memory seats is shocking. Other than that, am not an audiophile, but i think the base speaker arrangement is very below par, it is probably the worse sound system I have encountered in the last 10 years of cars built steering is good, some different steering modes would have been nice Lane Keep, the UI and which mode am in, not sure how to turn off lane departure, the whole things is messy.

Would be the best value 3 row EV if Hyundai could solve ICCU issues

There are not many 3 row electric SUVs on the market, and the Ioniq 9 is the best value for the money by far. But I still can't in good faith recommend that anyone actually buy one until Hyundai/Kia can figure out and solve their ongoing issues with the integrated charge control unit (ICCU) that is prone to failure leaving you stranded on the side of the road. This issue has been known and ongoing since the Ioniq 5 and EV6 launched in 2022 and STILL had not been solved despite the multiple recalls.

Apple CarPlay and Outdoor Oxidation

The car is brand new and already there’s oxidation (rust) on the chrome/steel parts on the back sides of the car by the windows. How is that possible? The car is 2026 and it’s already rusting? Incredible. The Apple CarPlay has at least 3 second delay - again how’s that possible for a 2026 car? After paying so much money to get a car that rusted already and don’t have the capability to work the CarPlay without delay is very astounding.
