2025 Hyundai Ioniq 9: Design, Power, and Release Details

Hyundai is gearing up to launch its 2025 Ioniq 9, an all-electric, three-row SUV that promises to make waves in the EV market. Although we haven’t yet seen the Ioniq 9 in its final form, there’s a lot we can infer by comparing it to its close cousin, the Kia EV9. Just like the relationship between the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, the Ioniq 9 is likely to share a similar framework and features with the EV9 but will stand out with unique styling and distinct options, offering a fresh take on the electric crossover.

Design Influences from Hyundai SEVEN Concept

The Ioniq 9’s design is expected to be heavily inspired by Hyundai's SEVEN concept. Initially rumored to be named the Ioniq 7, this SUV eventually took on the name Ioniq 9 to align with the Kia EV9’s numbering, which adds a sense of brand rivalry. Like the EV9, the Ioniq 9 should retain the bold lines and stylish cues of its concept origins, though with practical adjustments. Expect changes to the lighting, mirrors, and interior to meet production standards, but the overall design should remain true to the SEVEN concept’s futuristic vision.

Stylish Details and Teaser Previews

Teasers from Hyundai reveal the Ioniq 9’s silhouette, echoing the SEVEN concept's chunky D-pillar and distinctive "Parametric Pixel" front light bar. This iconic lighting design, along with the lower quadrangular lighting elements, emphasizes the SUV’s futuristic appeal. Hyundai’s teasers suggest that the Ioniq 9 will closely mirror the SEVEN concept’s aesthetic, delivering a bold look that stays aligned with Hyundai's signature style while offering advanced lighting elements for a unique road presence.

Powertrain and Performance Similarities with EV9

Much like the Kia EV9, the Ioniq 9 will likely use Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, supporting both single- and dual-motor setups. This platform enables an estimated 300 miles of range and offers 800-volt fast-charging capability, a feature Hyundai/Kia EVs are known for. If the specs align with the EV9, the Ioniq 9 could reach up to 379 horsepower with the dual-motor option. Whether Hyundai will offer the EV9's entry-level single-motor options remains unclear, but high-end models should deliver impressive power and performance.

Expected Release Date and Pricing

The Ioniq 9 is set to make its global debut in November 2024, likely at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Following Hyundai's pattern, the Korean model will be revealed first, with U.S. market specifications arriving shortly afterward. The Ioniq 9 should hit showrooms as a 2025 model, with a starting price slightly under Kia's EV9, possibly around $50,000. Positioned as a budget-friendly alternative to the EV9, the Ioniq 9 is expected to offer a competitive price point, making it an appealing choice for families seeking an electric three-row SUV.
