EV Channels Review
The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 SEL is presented as a compelling option for families seeking a spacious, fully electric three-row SUV. The reviewer highlights its "Ionosphere Green" exterior and "Gray/Green H-Tex" interior as attractive features. Key positives include the promise of over 300 miles of range from its 110 kWh battery pack, regardless of drivetrain configuration (RWD or AWD), and the use of eco-friendly materials. The SEL trim offers a good balance of features without being fully loaded, including heated/ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Practicality is emphasized with ample second and third-row space, manual sunshades, and a usable cargo area, even with the third row up. The reviewer notes the vehicle's premium feel, advanced LED lighting, and the potential for competitive pricing. A minor point of contention is the charge port location on the passenger rear, which might require specific parking at charging stations. Overall, first impressions are highly promising, with the reviewer eager to test drive and confirm range figures.
