First Look: The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 at Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee
A three-row electric SUV that redefines space, silence and sophistication
Hyundai has thrown out the rulebook with the all-new IONIQ 9—the most luxurious, spacious, and tech-rich EV the brand has ever delivered. Now available to experience at Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee, the IONIQ 9 is more than just an SUV—it's a flagship statement of Hyundai's electric future.
🛋️ Lounge-Class Comfort, Family-Sized Practicality
Whether you opt for the 6-seat version with reclining captain's chairs or the 7-seat variant with a versatile bench, every row in the IONIQ 9 feels like front-row seating. Second-row seats can fully recline with leg rests, delivering a “zero-gravity” position that rivals business class travel.
The flexible 18-litre sliding centre console provides handy stowage, while USB-C ports in every row (six in total) ensure everyone stays charged. The vehicle-to-load (V2L) feature also allows you to power camping gear or laptops from the car itself.
📱 Seamless Connectivity, Intuitive Tech
Dual 12.3-inch curved panoramic displays paired with a 6-inch climate control touchscreen give the dash a clean, futuristic look. There's wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the clever Digital Key 2 system allows you to use your smartphone to unlock and start the car—plus share access with up to 15 users.
Best of all, it supports Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates, so your tech is always up to date—no workshop visits required.
🔇 Whisper-Quiet Ride, First-Class Feel
Hyundai's dedication to refinement is clear in the Active Noise Control-Road (ANC-R) system. Combined with acoustic laminated glass and sound-absorbing tires, the IONIQ 9 creates one of the quietest cabins in its class.
Add to that the digital side mirrors (projecting onto 7-inch OLED screens) and digital centre rear-view mirror, and you have one of the most advanced visibility suites in any SUV today.
⚡ Performance Without Compromise
Built on Hyundai's dedicated E-GMP 800V platform, the IONIQ 9 boasts Australia's largest battery pack at 110.3 kWh. That translates to over 600 km of real-world driving range (WLTP) in rear-wheel drive form, and rapid 10–80% charging in just 24 minutes using a 350 kW charger.
From the driver's seat, the IONIQ 9 feels smooth, responsive and grounded. Drive.com.au praised its ease of use, comfort, and surprising performance, particularly in dual-motor AWD Calligraphy spec. Despite its size, it offers impressive composure on Australian roads—especially when fitted with the optional electronically controlled suspension.
🛡️ Comprehensive Safety Tech
Hyundai's SmartSense™ suite comes standard and includes:
- Blind-Spot View Monitor
- Surround View Monitor with 3D functionality
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

Final Word: A True Flagship for Australian Roads
