Hyundai reveals the interior of the new IONIQ 9, the first SUV with three rows of seats

Hyundai Motor raises its stakes in the world of electrification, and it does so in a big way. The brand has revealed the first image of the interior of its upcoming model: the IONIQ 9, a fully electric three-row SUV that promises to revolutionize the market for large electric vehicles. This vehicle has been designed to offer a comfortable, flexible travel experience with room for the whole family, showing a new approach to EV interior design with a “lounge”-style atmosphere and three rows of seats.

Hyundai will officially unveil all the details of the IONIQ 9 at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, where more is expected about its technical capabilities, range, and advanced driver-assistance and comfort technologies. Hyundai wanted to convey a sense of spaciousness by creating a space that feels more like a welcoming lounge than the interior of a car. Able to accommodate up to seven passengers, the IONIQ 9 embraces a minimalist design, with curved details and soft finishes that, together with a palette of natural colors, invite relaxation. According to Simon Loasby, Senior Vice President and Head of the Hyundai Design Center, the interior of the IONIQ 9 reflects “a customer-centered design approach and a futuristic vision of mobility”. Inspired by the tranquility of nature, this SUV embodies the harmony between technology and well-being.

One of the major innovations of the IONIQ 9 is its internal structure built on the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) of Hyundai. Thanks to its completely flat floor, the model offers effortless movement inside the cabin and permits occupants to enjoy a sense of spaciousness in each of its three rows. This design opens up a range of possibilities for organizing the space, adapting both to the needs of family transport and to those seeking a vehicle capable of long group journeys.

With this launch, Hyundai expands its IONIQ range, which already includes iconic models such as the IONIQ 5 and the IONIQ 6, recognized for their advanced technology and design. The arrival of the IONIQ 9 represents a bold foray into the large electric SUV segment and strengthens the brand’s commitment to sustainable mobility and electrification. The innovative “Aerosthetic” silhouette of the IONIQ 9 not only optimizes efficiency, but also sets a new aesthetic in the design of large electric SUVs.
