Delhi Delhi. Hyundai Motor Company has unveiled the Ioniq 9, a luxurious three-row electric SUV that showcases advanced EV technology and spacious design. The launch event was held at the prestigious Goldstein House in Los Angeles. The Hyundai Ioniq 9 joins the successful Ioniq lineup, following the award-winning Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6. With plans to introduce 23 EV models by 2030, Hyundai aims to consolidate its leadership in the electric vehicle market.
Currently, the Ioniq 5 is the only model available in India, priced at Rs 46.05 lakh (ex-showroom). Although Hyundai has not confirmed the launch of the Ioniq 9 in India, it is expected to arrive following its strategy of introducing flagship models like the Kia EV9 in the market. With plans to introduce 23 EVs globally by 2030, Hyundai continues to set new standards in sustainable mobility.
Hyundai's flagship electric SUV, the Ioniq 9 has a 110.3kWh battery and offers two variants: Long-Range and Performance. The long-range model is available in rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) options. The RWD variant offers 215bhp and 350Nm, achieving 0-100km/h in 9.4 seconds, while the AWD version, with the additional 94bhp front motor, cuts the time to 6.7 seconds. The Performance AWD trim, equipped with dual 215bhp motors, accelerates from 0-100km/h in 5.2 seconds. The SUV supports 400V and 800V charging, taking just 24 minutes to go from 10% to 80% battery with a 350kW charger. It also includes vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality, enabling it to power external devices. Hyundai's Ioniq 9 stands out due to its attractive 'aerostatic' design and advanced aerodynamic features. The streamlined roof line ensures a low drag coefficient of 0.259 Cd when equipped with digital side mirrors, which is close to the Tesla Model X's 0.24 Cd and the Mercedes EQS SUV's 0.26 Cd. Its front fascia features parametric pixel LED lights and a sophisticated lower grille, which adds to its futuristic appeal. Standard offerings include full LED combination lamps and 19-inch wheels, with 20-inch and 21-inch options also available for additional customisation.
