Ioniq 9 - 3 months review

My Ioniq 9 SEL has been great. Car is large and spacious, with plenty of room in the 3rd row. The ride quality is nice and smooth, and certainly much better than the Tesla. Range is good, and charging speed is also good. Plug & Charge also works well for me, which is convenient. The material in the cabin is good, and certainly do not feel cheap. That said, I do wish the trunk space with 3 row seats in use is a little larger. The frunk, while larger than the Ioniq 5, is still pretty small, so utility there is quite limited. Also it is 2026, I'm not sure why they limit the digital key to only the highest 2 trims. I wish they offer 7 seats on the higher trims, since that was one of my main requirement, so SEL was the best I could get. Honestly these are about my only gripes, the car, at 3 months, has been great.

Love the Ioniq 9

Love the dash and controls as I have driven the “iPad mounted” competition.

Good car. Needs work on software and missing features.

Pls switch to Android Automotive as a platform. Android Auto works great and you can keep Carplay integration. Regular Hyundai software does not cut it against Tesla features. Only Google can compete there. There is no wifi connectivity for the car on my $70k ioniq9 SEL. That is just incredibly ridiculous. Software updates by USB it says. That is so old school like 20 years ago stuff. Need to add all basic features to all models. Look at Rivian and Lucid. They are really giving Tesla a run for their money.

This could be the perfect family car (for 2026)

We absolutely love our Ioniq 9. As an EV owner since 2012, I have been waiting for an affordable 7-seater EV for many years, and this car answers!!

Very good overall

Strange whistling noise when I go above 70. There is a misalignment on the dashboard above the steering wheel

Overall Happy With the vehicle

We have enjoyed this vehicle on some longer trips, it has excellent range and comfort. Charging was very fast and easy. A few negatives - a vehicle in this price range should have things like memory seat as a standard feature. The 3rd row is OK, but not much leg room for teens or adults. The rear row are not completely flat when put down for cargo, reducing how much you can fit in the back.

Great 3 row SUV.

Very comfortable and well appointed vehicle. Drives extremely well in all weather conditions. Takes a while to discover all the features, which cover most requirements. My main complaints are the comfort of the drivers seat. The side cushions are too hard. Also the rear end doesn’t feel stable when driving the car hard - It could really benefit with pneumatic shock absorbers.

Nice 3 row upgrade from I5

I wanted the calligraphy because of features, but too expensive for wider adoption

Absolutely Love this Vehicle

I was in the market for a full sized SUV that could tackle the hauling of those big purchases from retailers on the weekends. I have had this vehicle for nearly 5 months and I'm still excited to get in and drive it. The power is astonishing and the interior comfort and gadgets are amazing. I'm so glad that I made the decision to get the Ionic 9 as I have not regretted a single minute of ownership.

Moving to an EV was a gamble but boy did it pay off!

I was a both excited and hesitant about switching to an EV but have now taken the plunge I can say its been a huge success. I had riden once or twice in friends' Tesla Model Ys and that was a fun drive but the dash and controls were all touch screen and that did not appeal, however it did get me interested in checking out an EV. The Ioniq 9 is a much, much more refined vehicle than Tesla Model Y, there is no comparison. Quiet, fast and most of all roomy. I am 6ft 4in and so space is a major consideration for me. Also we have 5 grandkids and I do a lot of woodworking and other jobs around the house and so cargo space is key. Superbly engineered vehicle, I am truly delighted with my purchase.

Love the drive, pickup, comfy, it's great

I really love this car. It's fun to drive. It's spacious and comfortable and the safety features are great without being obnoxious. I have a couple things I'd change. First, I want it to remember the media I was using when I got out of the car. If I'm listening to the radio - don't start music from my phone without asking me or letting me make the change. Maybe that's the phone software and not the car, but it's annoying. Also, I can't get the air to stay hot. It works when I start the climate before I get in the car - a great feature in itself - but once I'm in and I want the warm air, it's cool air or takes forever to warm up. The tech is super savvy and there's a lot to learn - arguably too much, more isn't always better, but I love the features. It's made me a car lover.

Ioniq 9 review

I like a lot of the features on this car and its size. I do find some of the systems to have a lot of lag or needing to be reset often. I wish it was easier to gauge the battery life. I have only driven it in the snow once and it did OK. I don’t know that I feel comfortable driving this long distance as in weather.

Luv my Ioniq 9

Overall, we love the Ioniq 9 Limited Edition. Would be even better if you update the following: - Satellite reception is very unstable. - Ability to close the windows remotely. - Cruise control lane assist package has to many buttons and is cumbersome to engage and disengage. - Lane assist needs tweaking. Vehicle ping-pongs between stripes. We do not use it in moderate or heavy traffic. - Can't tell if we are receiving vehicle updates. A comprehensive Notification system would be helpful. - The ability to connect to our home Wi-Fi network would be very helpful as cell signals are very weak and unstable where we live. - Doors fail to lock automatically when walking away from vehicle. - The technology systems can be a challenge to navigate and should be simplified.

Big Family Mover W/ Great Charging Options

The Ioniq 9 has plenty of room for my family and our grocery run. Charging at home makes it convenient to always have a charge and the range allows me to go where I need to go and get back comfortably.
