The Ioniq 9 is your electric SUV if you crave space and silence over speed.
Library-quiet interior · 300+ mile range
Sluggish base trim · Pricey upper trims
The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 is redefining the electric three-row SUV landscape with its expansive interior and serene driving experience. Built in Georgia, USA, this SUV combines a library-quiet cabin with a modern, retro-futurist design that turns heads without trying too hard. What surprised us was the genuine sense of calm it brings to the road; it's like driving a soundproofed lounge. However, the thrill-seekers may find the base trim a bit sluggish, especially when compared to its competitors. If you prioritize family road trips and a quiet commute, this could be your go-to electric option.
Our pick: SE ($64,365)
vs. 2026 Rivian R2: While the Rivian R2 comes with a more aggressive price point and a peppier drive, the Ioniq 9 wins for those who value interior space and a quieter ride.
