HYUNDAI DEBUTS IONIQ 9, STELLANTIS DELAYS RAM REV, KIA EV6 GETS AN UPDATE!

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is presented as a significant step up from the EV9, built on the familiar E-GMP platform. It boasts an impressive estimated range of up to 335 miles for RWD models, thanks to a larger 110 kWh battery. The vehicle offers fast charging capabilities, achieving 10-80% in 24 minutes, supported by a higher 630-volt nominal voltage. The exterior is described as slick with a continuous curve and pixel design elements, while the interior features unique touches like swiveling second-row seats and 'relaxation seats' with massage functions. Notably, the Ioniq 9 will be assembled in the US, potentially qualifying for tax credits. Reviewers express strong positive sentiment, highlighting its luxurious feel, increased cargo space compared to the R1S, and overall aesthetic appeal, suggesting it's a compelling alternative to the EV9 and other large electric SUVs.
