2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 at Charlie Clark Hyundai
The future of family travel is all-electric, and it has made its debut. The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is available now at Charlie Clark Hyundai in Laredo, TX, and is Hyundai's largest and most advanced electric vehicle to date – a three-row SUV that combines rugged good looks, innovative tech, and everyday usability. Whether it’s long-haul travel down I-35, a weekend at Lake Casa Blanca, or picking up your in-laws in the hustle and bustle of downtown Laredo, the IONIQ 9 gives you an opportunity to enjoy zero emissions driving without sacrificing comfort, capability, or fun.
With the ability to have multiple trims, single- or dual-motor configurations, and plenty of available luxuries, the IONIQ 9 sets out to prove that electric SUVs can be as adaptable as they are futuristic.
Interior Features
When you enter the cabin of the 2026 IONIQ 9, it feels like you’ve stepped into a modern lounge on wheels. Minimalistic design principles are strategically utilized in the open cabin that features straight lines, space, and high-quality materials (eco-processed leather and sustainable textiles provide a premium selection of materials). Ambient lighting and the near-silent electric powertrain combine to create a stress-free driving experience.
The IONIQ 9 features a three-row layout, accommodating seating for up to seven. Second-row captain's chairs can be added for a few extra dollars if you prefer a more luxurious option. You receive respectable third-row legroom thanks to the flat-floor E-GMP platform. There is 22 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, and the space expands to 46 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat.
For the tech lovers, a panoramic curved display feature integrates a 12.3-inch digital instrument display with the corresponding 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. You’ll also appreciate that the IONIQ 9 features voice controls, haptic feedback touch controls, and over-the-air updates, ensuring the technology remains current and easy to use.
Exterior Features
The IONIQ 9’s exterior design is unapologetically modern. Its boxy silhouette blends rugged utility with futuristic styling cues, while Hyundai’s signature Parametric Pixel lighting elements give it an instantly recognizable look. A clamshell hood, flush door handles, and aerodynamic wheels enhance efficiency while adding to the SUV’s clean, aesthetic appeal.
Dual-tone paint options, bold alloy wheel designs up to 21 inches, and an available panoramic glass roof give the IONIQ 9 a presence that turns heads whether it’s parked or in motion. Practical touches like a power liftgate, roof rails, and a front trunk (“frunk”) expand its everyday usability. Some available paint colors include:
- Gravity Gold Matte
- Ecotronic Gray
- Onyx Black
- Atlas White
- Digital Teal
- Shooting Star Matte
Power & Performance
The 2026 IONIQ 9 offers several powertrain options to fit your driving style and preferences. The standard single-motor rear-wheel-drive option offers a smooth, reassuring, and efficient ride, with plenty of torque to accommodate both city and highway driving. However, if you are adventurous and plan on taking long road trips through Texas or have to contend with inclement weather, then the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system would be the ideal option, as it provides increased traction and confidence, while also offering enhanced torque and power for faster acceleration.
Output is dependent on the trim package, but an upgraded version gets up to 379 horsepower. The IONIQ 9 features an 800-volt architecture, enabling DC fast charging. It has an estimated range of up to 300 miles, which will vary based on trim package and wheel size. Regenerative braking is adjustable, allowing you to choose between a coasting feel and an aggressive one-pedal driving style.
