Car and Driver
Car and Driver's first drive of the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 highlights its spacious three-row layout and refined electric powertrain. Real-world testing achieved 310 miles of range, slightly below EPA figures. The ride is smooth, cabin quiet, and front seats comfortable. The single-motor delivers adequate acceleration, while the dual-motor adds punch. Handling is composed for a large SUV. The third row is best for children, and the flat-folding seats reduce underfloor storage. The 800-volt architecture enables 10-80% charging in about 24 minutes, called class-leading. Overall, it's a strong competitor to the Kia EV9 and Tesla Model X, with minor drawbacks being a busy exterior and lack of rear wiper.

MotorTrend
MotorTrend's review of the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 focuses on dual-motor AWD performance and towing. The 380-hp setup accelerates 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds. The ride is firmer on 21-inch wheels but comfortable. The 12.3-inch displays are high-resolution, though HVAC controls are awkwardly placed. Towing is rated at 5,000 lbs, and the V2L feature is praised. Cabin quietness is exceptional with laminated glass and active noise cancellation. Criticisms include two-step third-row entry and lack of interior frunk release. It's a more practical, traditionally styled alternative to the EV9, with better efficiency (estimated 330 miles on RWD Long Range) but slightly less flair.
