Higher-tier variants include the Ioniq 9 AWD Performance Limited, which starts at $72,850 and features 422 horsepower, 21-inch wheels, and a 311-mile range. The top-tier Performance Calligraphy Design trim is priced from $78,090 and adds matte paint and other premium features while maintaining the same driving range.

The Ioniq 9 is among the first non-Tesla EVs to include a native North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, allowing access to Tesla Superchargers. Hyundai says the vehicle can be charged from 10% to 80% in approximately 24 minutes using a 350 kW DC fast charger.

At 5,060 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width, and 1,790 mm in height, the Ioniq 9 is slightly larger than Kia’s EV9 and features a “lounge-like” interior with up to 1,322 liters of cargo space. All Ioniq 9 units sold in the U.S. are eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax credit.

Customers who purchase or lease a new 2026 Ioniq 9 will also receive a complimentary ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 charger, or may opt for a $400 charging credit if they already own compatible charging equipment.
