EV Channels Review
The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 Calligraphy is presented as a powerful and luxurious three-row electric SUV. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, noting a 0-60 mph time in the mid-4-second range for the performance AWD variant, which boasts over 400 horsepower. The estimated range is 311 miles. Positives include a very quiet cabin, attributed to active noise cancellation and extensive sound deadening, along with a premium interior featuring soft-touch materials and ambient lighting. The reviewer also praises the spaciousness of the second and third rows. However, some criticisms are noted: the touch-sensitive HVAC controls are a reach and require taking eyes off the road, the power seat ingress/egress for the second row is described as slow, and the handling, while competent and compliant, exhibits body roll, indicating a comfort-oriented rather than sporty suspension. The reviewer expresses a desire for a longer-term loan to conduct more extensive testing on real-world range and efficiency.
