New Hyundai Ioniq 9 for Sale near Stewardson, IL

Hyundai’s three-row SUV offers seating for seven, over 300 miles of range, and qualifies for the federal EV tax credit.

Although the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 isn’t the first three-row electric SUV through the door, it may be the best choice for most shoppers. With a starting price of $60,555 and qualifying for a $7,500 federal EV tax credit, it’s more affordable than a Tesla Model X or a Rivian R1S, and its standard 110.3-kWh battery pack provides a long range compared to a base-model Kia EV9.

Verdict: The Hyundai Ioniq 9 isn’t a perfect vehicle but it offers terrific passenger space, good tech, and family-friendly features. Shoppers may find its design polarizing (you could easily say the same about the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or the Ioniq 6), but families interested in electric vehicles will do well to test drive this new option.
