View dealThe Hyundai Ioniq 9 is a large electric SUV with six or seven seats, built for families who cover long distances and want a third row that adults can actually use. It sits at the top of Hyundai's range as the brand's electric flagship.
It suits households running one big car for everything: school runs, airport trips, caravan weekends. At 5.06 metres long it needs a proper parking space, and it's a car that rewards steady driving rather than hurried driving.
The choice is simple. One body style, one battery and one drivetrain family, with four trims: Premium, Ultimate, Calligraphy and the 421 bhp Calligraphy Black Ink.

The Ioniq 9 is a six or seven-seat SUV designed around long-distance comfort rather than sharp handling. Reviewers consistently praise the space, the quiet motorway manners and the sheer usability of the cabin.
The numbers back that up: a 110.3 kWh battery, WLTP range of up to 385 miles, and a 338-litre boot behind the third row, which is unusually generous for a seven-seater. Fold everything flat and there's 2,419 litres.
Road testers are less enthusiastic about real-world efficiency and about the ride on the largest wheels, and nobody calls it agile. Every version carries a five-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty.
Because the equipment you'd normally pay extra for is already standard, and leasing keeps you in a fast-moving part of the EV market without owning the car at the end. Every Ioniq 9 is generously kitted out.
Across the range you get adaptive cruise control, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, three-zone climate control, a heat pump, wireless phone charging, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keyless entry and start, a powered tailgate, roof rails and privacy glass.
Safety is comprehensive too: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist, front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera. Euro NCAP awarded five stars, with 84% for adult occupant protection and 87% for child occupant protection.
There's only one: a fully electric drivetrain with a 110.3 kWh battery, automatic transmission, and a choice of rear-wheel or all-wheel drive depending on the version you pick.
Power runs from 215 bhp to 421 bhp, with up to 385 miles of WLTP range and torque of 350 to 700 Nm. It needs charging, so you'll want a home charger; at 11 kW the best version takes 10 hours from 10-100%. On a 350 kW rapid charger, 10-80% takes 24 minutes.

Pick on wheel size, seat comfort and how much driver-assistance tech you want, because the battery is the same throughout.
The entry trim starts with 215 bhp and rear-wheel drive, 19-inch alloy wheels, small cube projection LED headlights, cloth and leather upholstery, a four-spoke leather steering wheel, Bluelink with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12.3-inch panoramic driver's display. Those smaller wheels suit British roads well.
The Premium is currently available from £603.73 a month.
Ultimate moves to 20-inch gloss black alloys, leather upholstery, an opening panoramic glass sunroof, a 12.3-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation and intelligent front lighting. It also adds a head-up display, 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, electric seat memory, self-steering parking, rear cross-traffic alert and ambient lighting.
The Ultimate is currently available from £674.12 a month. Against the Premium, that is currently £70.39/mo more expensive.
Calligraphy is mostly about appearance rather than extra equipment: 21-inch gloss black alloys and a four-spoke two-tone leather steering wheel over the Ultimate. It starts as an all-wheel-drive version, which is worth knowing if you tow or park on a slope.
The Calligraphy is currently available from £694.86 a month. Against the Ultimate, that is currently £20.74/mo more expensive.
Then there's the performance version. Black Ink pairs 421 bhp and all-wheel drive with 21-inch black painted alloys and a black pure leather steering wheel, covering 0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds. It's brisk rather than sporting - the character is still relaxed, just with far more in reserve.
The Calligraphy Black Ink is currently available from £720.78 a month. Against the Calligraphy, that is currently £25.92/mo more expensive.
If you like the idea of a Korean-built electric SUV with a premium slant but don't need three rows, the Genesis GV70 is worth a look. For another large family SUV in a similar mould, see the Škoda Peaq.
