2026 HYUNDAI IONIQ 9 LIMITED AWD | LUXURY FEATURES, STYLISH DESIGN

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 Limited AWD presents a compelling package for the growing three-row electric SUV segment. The reviewer highlights its stylish design, particularly the Ultimate Red exterior, and a feature-rich interior that includes premium amenities like Digital Key 2, Power Relaxation Seats, and a 14-speaker Bose audio system, even in the entry-level Limited trim. The vehicle is built on Hyundai's E-GMP platform, supporting fast charging and NACS as standard, and comes with a new dual-voltage charging cable. Positives include the spacious interior, comfortable captain's chairs with relaxation features, and a usable third row, which is noted as being larger than the Kia EV9's. The performance dual-motor AWD system delivers 422 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, with a standard 110.3 kWh battery. Hyundai rates the range at 311 miles for this configuration. Minor drawbacks mentioned are the lack of a head-up display and remote smart park assist in the Limited trim, features reserved for the higher Calligraphy trim. Overall, the Ioniq 9 Limited is positioned as a strong contender, offering significant value and features for its price point, especially considering its eligibility for the federal EV tax credit.
