Hyundai IONIQ 9: Long-Range EV for Modern Families

The IONIQ 9 is Hyundai’s latest step into the premium electric space. As a large, three-row SUV, it is built to serve families looking for comfort, technology, and zero emissions. The SUV is built in the U.S. at Hyundai’s Metaplant in Georgia, helping it qualify for U.S. tax credits and possibly other global incentives.

Inside, the IONIQ 9 mixes style with smart technology. Families get:

• Three-row seating.
• Premium interior trims.
• Fast charging.
• Large infotainment screen.
• Advanced driver-assist features.

The Calligraphy trim adds exclusive aluminum design, matte paint, and a bold fascia. Hyundai’s goal here is clear—give EV buyers more than just range.

Hyundai's EV Vision Includes the UAE

While the IONIQ 9 is launching in the U.S., Hyundai is expanding its EV lineup globally. The brand’s presence in the UAE is strong, with many customers already trusting models like Tucson and Sonata.

Buyers in Dubai are expected to welcome the IONIQ 9 once it arrives. Its spacious design and 300+ mile range make it ideal for both city drives and family getaways across the Emirates.

The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is not just another EV—it’s a smart, family-focused electric SUV with luxury touches and long-range confidence.
