Hyundai Provides Peek of Ioniq 9 Electric SUV’s Interior

After releasing a shadowy silhouette of its forthcoming Ioniq 9, Hyundai has now released a sketch of the electric three-row SUV’s interior. The image is accompanied by a release peppered with design cliches such as “lounge-like,” “spacious and flexible design,” and “serene and sophisticated,” but no real information was provided aside from the fact that it has room for up to seven people inside.

The sketch highlights a long elliptical design element (or is it an Indianapolis Motor Speedway track map?) tying the front and rear doors together, though it also reinforces our suspicion that the Hyundai will have a less third-row-friendly roofline than the Kia EV9 electric SUV with which it will likely share its platform and electrical architecture.

Kia fits a 76.1-kilowatt-hour battery pack in the base version of the EV9 and a 99.8-kWh pack in pricier trim levels. Base EV9 variants get a 215-horsepower electric motor driving their rear wheels (which gets limited to 201 hp with the long-range battery pack), while higher-grade trims get a twin-motor all-wheel-drive setup that makes a combined 379 hp. The 2025 Kia EV9’s EPA-estimated range is anywhere from 230 to 304 miles; we expect similar specs for the Ioniq 9.

With the Palisade, Hyundai has proven it can do gas-powered three-rows well, and based on our overall experience with the EV9 thus far, our hopes are high for this brand’s family-friendly EV. Things will come into focus when Hyundai debuts the Ioniq 9 at the Los Angeles Auto Show Nov. 21.
