This is the brand-new Hyundai Ioniq 9!

Considered that Hyundai and Kia are sister companies, it's no surprise that the Ioniq 9 shares a great deal of part with Kia's 7-seat SUV, the EV9. The question is, exactly how much is different between the two automobiles? And is one a better option than the other? Let's take a closer look.

For starters, the Hyundai Ioniq 9 definitely has a quite striking style! In advance, there are unique, distinct patterned DRLs that stretch throughout the front of the car, in addition to a pair of Matrix LED headlights. There's likewise a big Perspex screen throughout the centre of the front end to hide all the safety systems and sensing units. The profile of the Ioniq 9 is quite minimalist, although there is a set of pop-out door deals with, while the back end uses the most striking view of this automobile! There are big, wrap-around tail lights that cover the sides and top of the rear end. There's also a small brake light at the bottom of the rear end – mimicking the brake lights found on F1 vehicles!

On the within, the dash is dominated by a large wrap-around screen that contains both the infotainment system and digital dials. There are lots of menus within the system, but it's normally okay to use, and the digital dials offer a good amount of customisation. There's also a separate panel for the environment controls, and while they might not be physical buttons, it's a better alternative than them being developed into the infotainment screen. The rest of the dash has a distinct stepped style, and the seats are quite comfortable, too. The develop quality is generally pretty good, and there's likewise a decent quantity of storage.

All editions of the Ioniq 9 come with a 106kWh battery pack. There are then 3 motor choices to pick from. The entry-level car has a single 218hp motor that provides 385 miles of variety. There are then two double motor options to choose from – a 307hp set-up that provides 376 miles of variety, and the top-of-the-range performance edition that can produce 426hp and 372 miles of variety.

So is the Ioniq 9 the very best 7-seat cars and truck you can purchase in 2025? Or should you choose an alternative instead? You'll need to stick to Mat and discover for yourself!

      Even more so, to be honest. I don’t even finish watching most hyper car stuff. They are so over the top that I can’t relate with them. And probably I’m not Arab royalty enough. (You can wake me up for a classic Lotus or Porsche video though).

    The panel at the end of the dash is a magnetic plate. You can stick a phone holder, badges etc on it.

    6:50 I believe that panel is magnetic, and so you can put magnets on there for any reminders you write down. In other models and higher trims, the panel can also be a fingerprint reader. It’s certainly a peculiar piece of interior design. xD

    Hyundai and Kia have been cooking these days, and they are likely one of the few vehicle companies that will endure against the expanding Chinese brands and cars.

      Great cars from Korea, but the gap is widening to the Chinese vehicles for price and tech. Hyundai and Kia are probably more concerned about competing with European manufacturers

      The other way around. Only a few of the Chinese brands will survive. Just look at the cannibalistic competition in the Chinese domestic market. And the fact that the US and EU impose high tariffs.
