Hyundai Ioniq 9.
Last Updated:
The all-new Hyundai Ioniq 9 is on its way, and today we get a glimpse of its interior.
The Ioniq 9 will be Hyundai’s version of the popular Kia EV9. As we know, it was supposed to be called Ionq 7 until Hyundai probably decided to work on more new EVs above the Ioniq 5.
From what we’ve in many recent spy shots, the new Hyundai Ioniq 9 will have a much less polarizing design than the Kia EV9. It is based on the Hyundai Seven concept and will keep many design cues from the 2021 concept.
This will appeal to many who see the EV9 as just too weird or toyish. The interior shot above doesn’t show that much but we can see a pleasant atmosphere with nice-looking seats, center console, and door panels. It might just look a lot like a larger 3-row Ioniq 7, which would be just fine.
As far as specs, they will probably be very similar to the Kia EV9. And the price could even be a bit cheaper.
The Seven Concept was introduced almost 3 years ago and somehow, it took Hyundai much longer to finalize the final version, than Kia with its EV9.
The Kia EV9 is priced from $56,000 and has been more and more popular lately. The big Kia EV just entered production in the US, and will soon qualify for the full Federal Tax credit. Which should make it even more popular with buyers. So far in 2024, Kia sold over 29,000 units of the EV. The Kia EV6 has become even more popular with recent affordable leases starting at around $250 a month.
If Kia decided to offer improved deals in the EV9 sales will probably jump in 2024.
