2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 review

Hyundai Ioniq 9: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review

8.5/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 sits near the top of its class. Well-organized infotainment; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Third row (where offered) is for kids and touch-only climate controls on some trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $60,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

★★★★★Victor A. · San Antonio, TX · 30 months owned
Great daily driver

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

★★★★★Lillian M. · Tampa, FL · 9 months owned
Exactly what we needed

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.

★★★★★Isaiah E. · Houston, TX · 14 months owned
Great daily driver

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
