The interior design allows for options of 6 or 7 seats, with the second-row seats fully rotatable to face the third row, inspired by the Kia EV9.
Moreover, the Hyundai Ioniq 9 is equipped with a range of the latest safety and driver assistance systems, including early collision avoidance, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, and rear collision avoidance, with a total of 10 airbags ensuring passenger safety.
Market Launch and Prospects
The all-new Ioniq 9 will launch in South Korea and the USA in the first half of 2025, with plans to roll out in Europe and other global markets by the end of 2025. Hyundai will announce prices and more specifications later.
