Accessible Performance & Impressive Range: Large Capacity Battery
The sophisticated PE system boasts a high-voltage, floor-mounted NCM lithium-ion battery delivering 110.3 kWh of system energy. The Long-Range RWD model is driven by a 160 kW rear motor, while the Long-Range AWD variant includes a 70 kW front motor paired with a 160 kW rear motor. The Performance AWD version features 160 kW motors at both the front and rear.
The Performance model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds, while the Long-Range AWD variant requires 6.7 seconds, and the Long-Range RWD version takes 9.4 seconds. When it comes to mid-range acceleration, such as overtaking other vehicles, the Performance model accelerates from 80 to 120 km/h in 3.4 seconds. The Long-Range AWD variant achieves this in 4.8 seconds, whereas the Long-Range RWD version takes 6.8 seconds.
IONIQ 9 efficiently charges from 10 to 80 percent in just 24 minutes using a 350 kW charger, under optimal conditions. The platform’s distinctive vehicle-to-load (V2L) convenience feature and 400V/800V multi-charging capability reduce the barriers to EV adoption.
IONIQ 9 is anticipated to achieve an impressive WLTP-estimated all-electric range of 620 km and WLTP-targeted energy consumption of 194 Wh/km for Long-Range RWD with 19-inch wheels, thanks to its low drag coefficient, advanced platform, and battery technologies.
Advanced EV Capabilities: Enhanced Power Electronics
Hyundai Motor's groundbreaking E-GMP architecture forms the foundation of the IONIQ 9, allowing for the integration of a front power electronics (PE) system that enhances suspension control while also providing more storage space in the front trunk. For the IONIQ 9, the rear PE system has been upgraded as well, featuring an increased gear ratio for better hill climbing and the use of a two-stage inverter to boost efficiency.
A fully encapsulated PE system, enhanced acoustic laminated glass, triple sealing throughout, and the addition of a reinforced plate in the A-pillar area all contribute to minimizing road and wind noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) within the cabin.
The platform features a high-capacity, high-voltage battery that extends the electric range, along with a flat floor to enhance passenger comfort and increase cargo space. Collision safety and durability have been enhanced through a robust body structure engineered for optimal crash energy distribution.
The IONIQ 9 is the first Hyundai model to incorporate aluminum fenders and quarter panels, which contribute to a lightweight body, boosting the EV's efficiency. The innovative dual-motion active air flap (AAF) system further improves air sealing and enhances the exterior appearance with sleek body panels.
This SUV also debuts a new closure system with a rolling-type pin-lift door hinge, ensuring a superior fit and finish. Additionally, a newly developed electric hood latch provides access to the front trunk, which not only elevates the design but also enhances product quality.
