Whether it\u2019s the traditional gas-powered engine, affordability, or knowing where to charge your car, most Americans go for what they know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s where the Hyundai Ioniq 9 comes in handy; it changes the game for EVs, proving why we rated it #1 for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbb.com\/electric-car\/best-electric-suvs\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.kbb.com\/electric-car\/best-electric-suvs\/\" onclick=\"jQuery.coxAnalytics.pixallEventCamp(this,&#039;text-link::editorial::best-electric-suvs&#039;, &#039;&#039;, &#039;true&#039;);\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Best Electric SUVs<\/a>.

Fast Charging <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EVs are perceived as having notoriously long refueling times compared to gas-powered cars. Long wait times can be inconvenient, especially if you live a busy, on-the-go life. But that\u2019s not true for all EVs. The Hyundai Ioniq 9 features quick DC Fast Charging, which can charge your battery from 10% to 80% in as little as 24 minutes at a public charging station. If you\u2019d like to avoid traffic, you can also install Level 2 charging at your home and get up to 80% in about 9 hours, making overnight charging at home enough for most commuters.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 Calligraphy Design charge port\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-hyundai-ioniq-9-port.jpg\"\/>Image courtesy of Brian Roskelly<\/p>\n<p>2. Modern Tech<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What would a future-forward electric vehicle be without modern tech? When you\u2019re in the Ioniq 9, you know the answer. The electric crossover uses modern tech to make your drive easier and more comfortable. Comfort in an EV isn\u2019t just about a roomy interior, with heated front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control. Even though the Ioniq 9 has that too, it\u2019s about enjoying the ride. The Ioniq 9 is packed with technology, including wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as wireless phone charging. This means plenty of entertainment, from music and podcasts to a few laughs on a hands-free call with a family member.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 Calligraphy Design dashboard\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-hyundai-ioniq-9-interior.jpg\"\/>Image courtesy of Brian Roskelly<\/p>\n<p>3. Driving Convenience <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comfort isn\u2019t limited in the Ioniq 9, and neither is safety. The Hyundai Ioniq 9 comes standard with Highway Driving Assist 2. This feature enhances driver and passenger safety by detecting vehicles around the car, maintaining a safe distance, and keeping the car centered in its lane. This is ideal for heavy and unpredictable traffic. While you can\u2019t take your hands off the wheel, this feature still helps you avoid fatigue on long road trips.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Our 3 Favorite Things About the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-hyundai-ioniq9-steering-wheel-jpg.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Read More about the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read our full review of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbb.com\/hyundai\/ioniq-9\/\" onclick=\"jQuery.coxAnalytics.pixallEventCamp(this,&#039;text-link::editorial::hyundai-ioniq-9&#039;, &#039;&#039;, &#039;true&#039;);window.location.href=&quot;https:\/\/www.kbb.com\/hyundai\/ioniq-9\/&quot;;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hyundai Ioniq 9<\/a>, find this week\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbb.com\/hyundai\/ioniq-9\/2026\/styles\/\" onclick=\"jQuery.coxAnalytics.pixallEventCamp(this,&#039;text-link::editorial::fair-purchase-price&#039;, &#039;&#039;, &#039;true&#039;);\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fair Purchase Price<\/a>, or see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbb.com\/cars-for-sale\/new\/suv-crossover\/electric\/hyundai\/ioniq-9\" onclick=\"jQuery.coxAnalytics.pixallEventCamp(this,&#039;text-link::editorial::hyundai-ioniq-9-models&#039;, &#039;&#039;, &#039;true&#039;);window.location.href=&quot;https:\/\/www.kbb.com\/cars-for-sale\/new\/suv-crossover\/electric\/hyundai\/ioniq-9&quot;;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hyundai Ioniq 9 models<\/a>\u00a0for sale near you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Electric vehicles haven\u2019t gained the level of popularity many expected simply because familiarity usually equates to comfort.
