Looking for the perfect family car? The 2027 HYUNDAI IONIQ 9 offers giant space and a 24-inch curved technology screen. Check it out!

Exterior Design and Dimensions That Impress
The look of the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 is a perfect fusion between retro lines and futuristic touches, nicknamed the “Space-Race Suburban” for its aerodynamic silhouette that evokes classic station wagons with unique LED headlights and wheels up to 21 inches. With dimensions close to the Palisade – about 5.1 meters in length – it positions itself as a large SUV optimized for daily urban driving and long trips. The three-row body accommodates up to seven passengers, with an aerodynamic coefficient of 0.29 Cd that directly contributes to its stellar range.
Elements such as the illuminated front grille and bumpers with aerodynamic skirts highlight its electric identity, differentiating it from rivals like the 2027 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER, which also targets the electric family SUV segment. Exclusive colors, such as the metallic hue “Cosmic Gray,” add premium appeal, while the optional panoramic roof expands the feeling of spaciousness.
Versions and Suggested Prices
The 2027 lineup maintains the configurations without major changes from the initial 2026 launch, prioritizing accessibility and logical scaling. See the table with estimated MSRP prices in the US:
| Version | Estimated Price (US$) | Key Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| S | 61,000 | RWD entry, maximum efficiency |
| SE | 65,000 | AWD, enhanced towing – most recommended version |
| SEL | 68,000 | Balance of features and price |
| Performance Limited | 73,000 | Extra power and luxury |
| Performance Calligraphy | 77,000 | Maximum technology |
| Performance Calligraphy Design | 80,000 | Top of the line with exclusive details |
These values position the Ioniq 9 as competitive against options like the Kia EV9, its Korean “cousin,” but with advantages in finish and extended warranty.

Performance, Range, and Ultra-Fast Charging
At the heart of the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 is a 110.3 kWh lithium-ion battery, powering three powertrain configurations ranging from pure efficiency to electrifying performance. The RWD version delivers 215 hp with an estimated range of 335 miles (540 km), perfect for economy. Meanwhile, the dual-motor AWD rises to 303 hp and 320 miles, while the Performance AWD explodes with 422 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, reaching 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds – faster than the Kia EV9 AWD (4.5s) and the Honda Prologue (5.9s).
Tests reveal a top speed limited to 129 mph, 70-0 mph braking in 173 feet, and 0.88 g grip on the skidpad. The suspension with self-leveling shock absorbers and torque vectoring ensures stability in curves, although the steering is criticized for its “synthetic” feedback, common in EVs but less engaging than in models like the 2026 RIVIAN R2.
Efficiency and Charging Times
Efficiency is an asset: combined MPGe ranges from 92 (RWD) to 85 (Performance AWD), slightly surpassing the Kia EV9. 350 kW DC charging takes from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes, while the V3 Supercharger does it in 40 minutes. Level 2 AC completes in 9h40min. See the consumption table:
| Configuration | City (MPGe) | Highway (MPGe) | Combined (MPGe) |
|---|---|---|---|
| RWD | 103 | 81 | 92 |
| AWD | 98 | 78 | 88 |
| Performance AWD | 91 | 79 | 85 |
Towing capacity reaches 5,000 pounds in AWD models, with automatic range adjustment when a trailer is detected – superior to the Blazer EV and comparable to the EV9.
For adventurous families, the Ioniq 9 rivals hybrids like the 2027 SUBARU CROSSTREK HYBRID, but it shines through its zero emissions and total silence on highways.

Luxurious Interior, Technology, and Practical Capabilities
The interior of the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 prioritizes sustainability with recycled materials, wool, and vegan leather, creating a flat floor that maximizes space. The first row has “Relaxation” seats with massage function, a sliding console for easy access. The second row offers electric captain chairs, and the third row slides for adults – although it’s tight for taller occupants.
Cargo capacity: 22 cu ft behind the third row, 46-47 cu ft behind the second, up to 87 cu ft maximum, plus a 2-3 cu ft frunk. Infotainment via a 24.3-inch curved screen (12+12.3″), with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluelink, 7 USB-C ports, and optional 14-speaker Bose system.
Safety is standard with emergency braking, lane assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. Robust warranty: 5 years/60k miles basic, 10 years/100k for powertrain and battery – market-leading, even without free maintenance.
Criticisms target low-area interior plastics and vague steering, but pros like space, range, and fast charging make it ideal for families migrating to EVs. Compared to luxury models like the 2026 PORSCHE MACAN GTS ELECTRIC, the Ioniq 9 democratizes accessible electric luxury.
The 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 redefines the electric family SUV, balancing practicality, performance, and innovation to conquer the global market.
