Although it is an SUV, it has the large space and comfort of an MPV.

[PCauto] The highly anticipated Hyundai IONIQ 9 was officially unveiled at the Brussels Motor Show 2025, drawing significant interest from a lot of spectators and industry professionals.

As the latest addition to Hyundai Motor's IONIQ series, IONIQ 9 is positioned as a fully electric large SUV, exemplifying Hyundai Motor's commitment to innovative technologies and avant-garde design philosophies within the realm of electrification.

In terms of exterior design, IONIQ 9 continues to embody Hyundai Motor's distinctive "parametric pixel" design language. The futuristic pixel-shaped headlights at the front not only enhance the vehicle's uniqueness when illuminated, but also bolster its recognition. The body showcases smooth contours and a coupe-like shape, contributing to a sportier aesthetic while optimizing aerodynamic efficiency. At the rear, the continuous taillights echo the front headlights, establishing a cohesive and technological sense.

Upon entering, IONIQ 9 prioritizes space utilization and comfort, evoking comparisons to an MPV. This characteristic brings to mind Toyota Veloz, which blurs the lines between MPVs and SUVs, a strategy that has proven successful in the market.

The interior is designed with a three-row seating configuration, accommodating up to seven occupants. The seats are constructed from high-quality materials that provide exceptional support and comfort. The center console is fitted with a large floating display screen that integrates a myriad of vehicle control functions and infotainment systems. Moreover, the interior is adorned with an abundance of soft materials and wood accents, elevating the overall quality of the cabin.

To ensure a quieter driving experience, Hyundai IONIQ 9 is equipped with an Active Noise Control (ANC-R) system, which employs internal microphones to monitor noise levels in real-time. It then emits phase-inverted sound waves through speakers to counteract perceived noise within the cabin, creating a more serene environment for both its driver and passengers.

Considering performance and range, Hyundai Motor has disclosed that IONIQ 9 is constructed on the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and is outfitted with a high-performance electric drive system that delivers impressive power output.

The performance of IONIQ 5N on the Nürburgring has already highlighted Hyundai Motor's prowess in electric vehicle manufacturing. At the Brussels Motor Show, in conjunction with Hyundai IONIQ 9, a number of new models and technologies from various brands were showcased, exemplifying the automotive industry’s concerted efforts to meet environmental standards and address diverse consumer demands.
