South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Company this week unveiled its all-new, battery-powered Ioniq 9 at a global launch event held at the iconic Goldstein House in Los Angeles. This follows the release of teaser images of the vehicle over the past two months.

Hyundai has unveiled a striking electric SUV with a standard 110.3-kwh battery and up to 335 miles of estimated range.

The new seven-seater hits US dealers in early 2025, a welcome addition to the small but fast-growing market of full-size EVs.

The Hyundai Ioniq 9 features a huge 110kWh battery offering up to 385 miles of range. The three different power options are Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, Long Range All-Wheel Drive and Performance All-Wheel Drive, the latter with its high-powered motors on the front and rear axles getting from 0-62mph in just 5.2 seconds.

Hyundai adds to its electric portfolio with the new Ioniq 9, a three-row SUV that is the biggest EV so far from the carmaker. It’s about two inches longer overall than a Hyundai Palisade and nine inches longer in wheelbase. Hyundai says it will compete with the Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S.
